Abstract

The expected increase in space and terrestrial services that include two-way fixed, SATCOM, CATV and mobile wireless services require expanding the system capacity. This expansion has created an opportunity for the utilization of the demonstrated photonic transport systems in wireless networks. System demonstrations and architectural developments have been proposed for distribution of communication services over fiber. Termed Fiber Radio and Hybrid Fiber Wireless, these systems offer the potential to improve services and reduce base station costs through increased bandwidth and ease of installation. We have developed and demonstrated DWDM broadband photonic transport systems able to meet the requirements for IS-95 Personal Communications Services operating at 1.9 GHz and Broadband Wireless Internet operating over the band of 2.5 to 2.7 GHz. Each DWDM channel operates from 1 to 3 GHz transporting services up to 80 Km. Solutions are being sought for low cost transmitters to meet DWDM SATCOM system requirements include extending the transmission distance to over 100 Km with a bandwidth that exceeds multiple octaves. These new requirements put high performance demands on the optical components. We have developed high performance transmitters based on electro-absorption modulated lasers (EML) that can meet SATCOM requirements. We have shown that the EML is capable of providing the required CNR of 32 dB for satellite transmission in the band of 950 to 2150 MHz over a 100 Km distance. In addition, we are investigating a new modulation technique, Microwave Photonic Vector Modulation (MPVM), which has the potential for wideband transmission in DWDM systems.
