An MPSK Millimeter-Wave Point-to-Point Link With Radio Over Fiber Synchronous Baseband Receiver

• This paper demonstrates a millimeter-wave point-to-point radio link of MPSK (QPSK, 8-PSK, and 16-PSK) modulation without using any analog to digital converter (ADC). The proposed point-to-point radio link, not only use the radio over fiber (RoF) concept to extend the transmit distance of the central unit and the remote radio unit, but also use the clock and data recovery (CDR) applied in the optical-electrical converter (OEC) to recover the MPSK intermediate frequency (IF) signals frequency offset. Compared with the traditional RoF link, the proposed point-to-point synchronous radio link eliminated the high-speed ADC requirement for the digital-intermediate-frequency-over-fiber (DIFoF) link, which can significantly reduce the complexity and the cost of the remote radio unit. Simultaneously, we have designed a simple symbol synchronization algorithm to realize the real-time point-to-point radio link on an Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed millimeter-wave radio link has successfully demonstrated 6 Gbps QPSK transmission and can tolerate a frequency offset up to 100 MHz.
