Long reach 60 GHz radio over fiber system based on turbo coded OFDM

Turbo-coded 1.25-Gb/s orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in 60-GHz radio-overfiber system are demonstrated. It can overcome impairments in fibers and extend transmission distance. Experimental results show that the transmission distance of turbo-coded OFDM signals at 1.25 Gb/s with coding (pure bit rate of 830 Mb/s) can be extended by over 30%.
