Abstract

We report here on different system architectures for a wireless link operating in the 60 GHz range, which has a high potential for use in short range and highly secure high data rate applications. The millimetre wave around 60 GHz is generated by photonic heterodyning or microwave-photonics using radio-over-fibre concept of transmission. Low error transmission using two techniques at data rates up to 4.2 Gb/s is experimentally demonstrated.
