In the first experiment at 40 GHz the optical source was a dual-mode self-pulsating laser while in the second experiment at 60 GHz separate single-mode lasers were used which were stabilized by optical injection locking. Within both experiments error-free 155 Mbit/s data transmission was achieved. At 60 GHz the far field was steered using a twin-waveguide antenna configuration.endata communicationdigital communicationerror statisticslaser beam applicationsmicrowave linksmicrowave photonicsmillimetre wave generationmobile radiooptical fibre communicationoptical frequency conversionoptical techniquesbeamformingmillimeter-wave generationmm-wave generationbroadband hybrid fiber radio systemsradio linksoptical heterodyningdual-mode self-pulsating lasersingle-mode lasersoptical injection lockingdata transmissiontwin-waveguide antenna configurationehfberbit error rate40 GHz60 GHz155 mbit/s621Optical techniques for beamforming and millimeter-wave generation in broadband hybrid fiber radio systemsconference paper
