Abstract

Experiments on the optical generation and transmission of millimetre-wave radio signals are reported. The millimetre-wave carrier is generated by heterodyning the signals of two semiconductor lasers at an optic/millimetre-wave converter. A 140 Mbit/s signal at a carrier frequency beyond 60 GHz was transmitted successfully with a BER below 10-9.
