We propose and experimentally investigate the use of an ultra-wideband photonics-assisted RF amplifier for Gbps communications and mm-waves applications, including 5G cellular networks. A 2 Gsymb/s broadband signal with different modulation formats has been used for evaluating the all-optical RF amplifier, as a function of diverse electrical and optical figures of merit, including RF gain, signal-to-noise ratio, linearity, constellation, and error vector magnitude.

Abstract
We propose and experimentally investigate the use of an ultra-wideband photonics-assisted RF amplifier for Gbps communications and mm-waves applications, including 5G cellular networks. A 2 Gsymb/s broadband signal with different modulation formats has been used for evaluating the all-optical RF amplifier, as a function of diverse electrical and optical figures of merit, including RF gain, signal-to-noise ratio, linearity, constellation, and error vector magnitude.File in questo prodotto:
