This novel, highly specialized communication system targets a futuristic factory that is densely populated by numerous autonomous robots. This letter focuses on a novel, compact transmit RAU for application in the downlink (DL) subsystem of the ultra-high density wireless communication system introduced in. Owing to the heavily reduced cost and complexity per RAU, RFoF architectures are prime candidates to implement systems requiring extreme cell densification. This is especially pronounced in the case of analog radio frequency over fiber (RFoF) schemes, where the radio-frequency (RF) signals are immediately modulated onto the optical carrier and the RAUs only need to implement conversion between the optical and electrical domains. Hardware for routing, switching and processing of the radio signals is centralized at the CO and can be shared to reduce cost, while also greatly decreasing the complexity of the RAU hardware. They rely on the favorable properties of fiber-optic signal propagation, most notably high bandwidth and low propagation loss, for the exchange of radio signals between a central office (CO) and multiple remote antenna units (RAUs). Radio over fiber (RoF) architectures exhibit great potential for realizing next-generation wireless communication systems.

After normalizing with respect to the optical sourceвЂ™s slope efficiency, a maximum boresight gain of 12.0 dBi and a в€’3 dB gain bandwidth of 1020 MHz (18.6 %) are observed. As a validation, a prototype, operating in the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure radio bands (5.15 GHzвЂ“5.85 GHz), is constructed and its radiation properties are characterized in free-space conditions. Such a highly cost-effective, power-efficient and reliable unit is an important step in making innovative wireless communication systems, which deploy extremely dense attocells of 15 cm Г— 15 cm, technically and economically feasible. The proposed unit omits electrical amplifiers and is, therefore, completely driven by the signal supplied by an optical fiber when deployed in an analog optical link, except for an externally supplied photodetector bias voltage. The required input impedance for the antenna is obtained by adopting a half-mode air-filled substrate-integrated-waveguide topology, which also exhibits excellent radiation efficiency. Instead, the photodetector is almost directly connected to the antenna, which is designed as a conjugate load, such that the extracted and radiated power are optimized. This results in a highly compact design, which also avoids the losses and spurious radiation by such an electrically large matching circuit. Note: Author names will be searched in the keywords field, also, but that may find papers where the person is mentioned, rather than papers they authored.ДЄn advanced transmit remote opto-antenna unit is proposed that accomplishes impedance matching between a photodetector and a low-profile antenna in a specified frequency bandwidth, without requiring an area-consuming matching network.Use a comma to separate multiple people: J Smith, RL Jones, Macarthur.Use these formats for best results: Smith or J Smith.For best results, use the separate Authors field to search for author names.Use quotation marks ' ' around specific phrases where you want the entire phrase only.Question mark (?) - Example: 'gr?y' retrieves documents containing 'grey' or 'gray'.Asterisk ( * ) - Example: 'elect*' retrieves documents containing 'electron,' 'electronic,' and 'electricity'.Improve efficiency in your search by using wildcards.
