Abstract
The millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency band offers the free-space bandwidth necessary for future broadband wireless communications services. A high-capacity broadband wireless network can be the quickest and most cost-effective method of delivering services to a large number of customers in a dense environment. Millimeter-wave optical fiber links can effectively distribute mm-wave signals from a central office to remote antennas located at suitable vantage points for line-of-sight interconnection to other nodes of the network. As described in [112], these fiber links offer simplification of base stations and centralized control and stabilization of mm-wave carrier signals for conformity to FCC standards. Even though it is expected that this type of fiber systems will take advantage of legacy metropolitan fiber cable plant infrastructure at the dispersion minimum of 1,300 nm.
