摘要
We report experimental and analytical results of a fiber-optic link that supports simultaneous transmission of baseband data and subcarrier multiplexed control-data channels, A novel transmitter design is used to optoelectronically combine baseband and subcarrier channels onto the optical carrier using a differential Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer modulator, Microwave direct detection of the subcarrier data channel simplifies the receiver design and network architecture, An approach to optimize the transmitter parameters for a given transmitter/receiver configuration is presented. A discrete component link is implemented and its performance compared to analytical results and discrete-time simulations, Insertion of monolithic-microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) technology is investigated by utilizing a MMIC mixer for control-channel upconversion and envelope detection in the link transmitter and receiver, respectively, High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) a viable approach to integration of subcarrier multiplexed fiber links.
