- Abstract
- Migrating toward higher frequencies and densification of the communication cells are two key enablers for increased wireless data rates. To make these trends economically viable, centralized architectures based on radio-over-fiber (RoF) are explored. This article describes the design of a photoreceiver that can be applied at the remote radio head in a 28 GHz analog RoF link. The devised photoreceiver comprises a Ge-on-Si photodetector and co-designed GaAs low noise amplifier offering 24 dB gain, corresponding to 224 V/W external conversion gain, over a 3-dB bandwidth between 23.5 and 31.5 GHz. The associated noise figure is 2.1 dB and an output referred third order intercept point up to 26.5 dBm can be obtained with a power consumption of 303 mW. Two possible applications are demonstrated in this article. First, the photoreceiver is tested in a 5G New Radio environment resulting in rms-EVM values below 2.46/3.47% for 100/400-MBaud 16-QAM transmission over the 24.25-29.5 GHz band. Secondly, very high data rates can also be supported, demonstrated by a 36 Gb/s link with an rms-EVM of 5.2%.
