Characterization of optical mm-wave signals for 5G communication systems: A study of their potential and challenges
Author(s): Rawa M Mahmood and Omer N Mahmmoud
Abstract: This study aims to explore the characteristics of optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals in 5G communication systems, focusing on the advantages and limitations arising from the use of these high frequencies. The mm-wave frequency range, from 30 GHz to 300 GHz, offers high bandwidth that can be utilized for high-speed video and data transmission services for both fixed and mobile users. While this technology offers numerous benefits, such as enhanced speed, security, and power efficiency, there are challenges related to interference, power loss due to atmospheric absorption, and limited coverage range. Additionally, the paper discusses the use of optical mm-waves in Radio over Fiber (RoF) systems as a potential future solution that combines optical infrastructure with wireless technologies to achieve high performance. The goal of this study is to evaluate the technical performance of optical mm-wave signals in 5G networks, focusing on the design of system components such as lasers, modulators, amplifiers, and filters.
