Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate that a novel and low‐cost radio over fiber network architecture for providing wireless and wired dual services at 2.5 Gb/s. The base‐band signals are directly detected by a low‐cost receiver with a 2 GHz bandwidth low‐pass filter, while the RF signals are down‐converted by a mixer and an electrical local oscillator signal. Our experimental results show the millimeter wave in this network architecture exhibits less than 1 dB power penalty over 20 km fiber after providing the dual services. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
