Generation of mmWave 5G Signals Using Microwave Photonics

Bandwidth constraints is, nowadays, a mayor problem in the implementation of next generation 5G networks. In order to cope with increasing bandwidth demands, the use of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, together with Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology has been proposed. In this work, we will present our recent advances in the generation of mmWave signals for 5G using Microwave Photonics.
