The Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) links play an important role in systems where mm-wave (60GHz) signals need to be distributed over many 100s of meters. In 60GHz RoF systems, cost of modulating a laser is a problem. A potentially low cost solution is the use of mm-wave pulse repetition frequencies mode-locked lasers (MLLs). In this book, a novel concept of injection-locking these MLL to implement mm-wave phase shift is introduced. Both magnitude and phase of the modulation response are measured using VNA and a "plateau" is observed in magnitude response which corresponds to the locking range of the...

The existing and emerging next generation of wireless communication standards assume that the end-users use omni-directional antennas, radiating in all directions. This has been a barrier to network capacity and efficiency. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is considered as a key smart-antenna technology, to improve the capacity of a communication channel at a greater extent as compared to single input single output (SISO) and single input multiple output (SIMO) techniques. MIMO is a technology which uses multiple antennas both at transmitter and receiver ends to increase the overall data...
