Abstract

A In this paper the authors have theoretically 
investigated the transmission performance of the optical 
millimeter (mm)-wave generated by a structure of optical 
modulation dedicated to Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) system. This 
configuration generates optical 16-QAM signals in a 
quad-parallel structure of Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) 
producing the 60 GHz mm-wave after passing through the 
bandpass filter centered on this frequency. The millimeter-wave 
is obtained with optical frequency multiplication. Clear eye 
opening was achieved at 20 Gbaud with on-off-keying, in order 
to prove that the evidence that the 60 GHz RoF structure 
suggested is successful. Such a system can be appropriate for 
the proposed coherent optical/wireless seamless network
