Abstract

A 50-60GHz continuous-wave(cw) millimeter-wave(MMW) was converted(generated) by applying optical technology for future wireless and ubiquitous communications. The optical power of 22.5mW was injected into optical waveguide in this experiment. The generated MMW signals were radiated in a millimeter waveguide and detected through a millimeter detector on the inside of a millimeter waveguide in this experiment. The spectral linewidth of the MMW signals was less than 1 kHz. The power fluctuation of the MMW was less than 1.2 dBm over 50-60 GHz range.

본 연구는 미래의 무선 및 유비쿼터스 통신을 위한 광/밀리미터파 신호의 직접 변환(생성) 실험을 50-60 GHz 범위에서 광 기술을 응용하여 성공적으로 수행하였다. 이 실험에서 22.5mW의 광신호가 광 도파로 내에 입사되었고, 밀리미터파 도파관 내부로 방사된 밀리미터파 신호는 밀리미터파 검출기에 의해 검출되었다. 밀리미터파 신호의 스펙트럼 선폭은 1 KHz이하를 나타냈다. 또, 50-60GHz 범위에서, 밀리미터파 신호의 Power 피크치 변위가 1.2dBm 이하인 이득특성을 나타냈다.
