Abstract

The article discusses the advantages and prospects for the use of radiophotonic technologies for the implementation of mobile telecommunications in the millimeter range. The principles of the formation of a quadrature modulated millimeter wave signal using the method of external modulation of optical radiation are shown. The prospects for using the fiberwireless network architecture for communication systems in the millimeter range, as well as possible noises in the radio channel are analyzed. It is shown that phase noise is dominant in radiophoton communication systems using quadrature modulation. The possibility of multiplication, discrete frequency adjustment, the phase noise of a millimeter-wave radio signal obtained by an optoelectronic method are mathematically simulated.

Keywords: millimeter wave, radio frequency photonics, fiber-wireless communication, mobile communication, optoelectronic technology, external intensity modulation, frequency multiplication factor, noise power spectral density.
