N2 - Abstract—We present a full-duplex multimode wavelength-division-
multiplexing ring network for the distribution of broadband
wireless services. It successfully combines the use of all-fiber wavelength
selecting multimode add/drop multiplexing nodes with a
radio-over-multimode-fiber technique that is robust against modal
dispersion impairments in multimode fiber links, and allows a reliable
delivery of wireless services beyond 5 GHz. The multimode
add/drop multiplexing nodes are built with commercially available
narrowband multimode fiber Bragg gratings. The feasibility
of the proposal is experimentally investigated with the distribution
of 120-Mb/s 64 quadrature amplitude modulation radio signals at
24 GHz over a 4.4-km-long multimode fiber ring with multimode
add/drop multiplexing nodes, achieving error vector magnitude
values below 4.5%.
Index Terms—Broadband wireless access, multimode fiber,
multimode fiber Bragg grating, optical access network,
radio-over-fiber, wavelength division multiplexing.
