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
