Millimeter over Fiber (MMoF) technique modulates millimeter wave signal optically to transmit it through an optical fiber for long distances with small loss. MMoF system usually uses optical single sideband (OSSB) modulation scheme to reduce fiber chromatic dispersion and obtain high bandwidth efficiency. The optical link of MMoF system using OSSB is treated as a nonlinear amplifier, and the AM/AM characteristic function of the amplifier is a Bessel function of the first kind of order 1. In this paper, we investigate the performance of OFDM MMoF system considering nonlinearity of OSSB modulation. We estimate a power of the nonlinear distortion noise to analyze the theoretical bit error rate(BER), and perform a simulation to verify the theoretical BER.

Error performance of two modulation schemes of millimeter-wave over fiber (MMoF) system i.e., optical double side band (ODSB) and optical single side band (OSSB) modulations is analyzed under Rician fading. Bit error rates (BER) of two detection techniques i.e., coherent and noncoherent detection are also compared in Rician fading. In aspect of error performance, ODSB modulation scheme has better BER than OSSB modulation scheme has under Rician fading. On the other hand, OSSB modulation scheme is advantageous in case of considering high bandwidth efficiency and small power degradation. Coherent detection technique is proper in Rician fading, because coherent detection provides more SNR gain whether fading is serious or not. Noncoherent detection can be applied when we need a simple receiver structure.

Mobile operators will face many challenges both economically and technically, as WLAN evolve through a bewildering number of different standards during the coming years. Potentially this will require several upgrades to the mobile infrastructure. A new approach for addressing these challenges is evaluated in this paper. It is based on a radio over fiber (RoF) technology that uses electro-absorption modulator (EAM) and optical single sideband (OSSB) modulation technique and it promises to provide solutions that will be transparent to changes in protocols and frequency of operation as well as reducing radio access infrastructure costs. This paper describes the development of prototype RoF system based on the 60GHz band CATV transport distribution system with EAM and the possibility of radio over fiber technology for use in the broadband convergence network (BcN) wireless access infrastructure.
