Optic/millimeter-wave converters (OMC) are key components within the base stations of these fiber-fed cellular mobile communication systems. The function of an OMC can be described by the conversion of incident light power into a high electrical mm-wave output power with a reasonable responsivity at the frequency of interest.encellular radioiii-v semiconductorsindium compoundsintegrated optoelectronicsmicrowave photonicsmobile radiomocvdmolecular beam epitaxial growthoptical fabricationoptical receiversphotodetectorsphototransistorsradio access networksInP integrated receiversintegrated receiversnarrow band radio over fiber systemsbroadband mobile access networksdata ratescarrier frequenciesmm-wave rangeoptic/millimeter-wave convertersbase stationsfiber-fed cellular mobile communication systemsincident light powerhigh electrical mm-wave output powerresponsivity155 mbit/s38 GHz60 GHzinp621conference paper
