Convergence of Radio-over-Fiber and 90 Ghz Millimeter - Wave Instructor: Nguyen Tan Hung Team 3: Nguyen Ky Tri Nguyen Minh Thai Ngo Quang Hiep 1. Introduction Due the development of smartphone usages and the exponential growth of user data traffic The traditional cellular networks which based on macrocell deployment are facing many problems. This could leads to the fact the microwave (MW) will be reduce in spectrum deficit in near future. There are 2 solutions for this: a. Mobile network based on small cells could be key solution in increase the transmission capacity. b. Shifting carrier frequencies from a MW band in to Millimeter-Wave (MMW) band is another solution. Introduction The remote cells should be very compact, simple, energy efficient, and equipped with only simple functionality. Complex and intelligent functions should be centrally located at the central offices and shared to many base stations. Recently, cloud-based radio access networks (C-RANs) have been garnering significant interest to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and high spectral-efficient solution for future access network . In both cases, however, a backhaul network connecting a growing number of small base stations and supporting a C-RAN network is extremely important. Such a backhaul network should have high capacity, flexibility, low transmission delay, low cost, and high energy efficiency. There have been several techniques to realize a convergence of MMW-wireless and fiber-optic system for a mobile wireless backhaul network In the 1st way, we can see that the structure of both RAUs and RRHs is complicated, resulting in high cost and high power consumption. In addition, with the inclusion of signal processing and signal conversions at the RAU and RRH, latency and jitter are big issues for a C-RAN backhaul network. On the contrary, radio-over-fiber (RoF) is a promising technology for seamless convergence of radio and fiber-optic networks, as shown in b. RoF technology could directly convert an optical signal to radio form at high frequency using a photonic direct up-conversion technique. The direct generation of an MMW signal from the RoF link is crucial to keep the remote cells simple, cost effective, and energy efficient. It also assures transparency and low-latency transmission for the wireless signals. In addition, because the signals are transmitted directly in the analog RF format, the system can enable multiple radios, including multi-bands, multi-services, and multi-operators to coexist in the backhaul. Drawbacks The impairments associated with the RoF link, such as nonlinearity distortion and noise, would have a deleterious impact on the quality of the generated MMW signal. The impairments during up- and down-conversion of the signal to and from the MMW band would also have other influences on the transmitted wireless signals. Target in this project We will use a system employs a photonic technique to generate an optical MMW signal at the center station (CS), and a direct photonic up-conversion technique at the RAU to directly emit a 90-GHz signal into the air. First block model In order to successfully build this system, we have to build it separately which means we have to build it part by part. The first part we built is the Laser Diode (LD) to the Mach Ziener Modulator ( MZM). To test, we use a optical spectrum analyzer at the end of MZM. Result of 1st block After adjusting the input we can observe this output at the end of the MZM
