Abstract
In this paper, a method is proposed to reduce the sensitivity to chromatic
dispersion over a fiber optic link based on mode-locked lasers for Millimeter
Waves (MMW) generation and transmission. The simulation presented here gives
an estimation of the length margin of fiber available for radio-over-fiber
networks with minimal sensitivity and maximum received MMW power. The simulation
results are verified experimentally by means of a 60 GHz mode-locked laser
system combined with an unbalanced Mach Zehnder interferometer for the compensation
of the impact of dispersion effects on transmitted MMW power and fiber length
range.
