Abstract
We experimentally compared 60 GHz RoF fronthaul links employing DSB-SC and OSSB. OSSB link offers better receiver sensitivity (-5 dBm) for 8-Gbps 16-QAM signal at BER=2.3e-3, while DSB-SC link has a lower receiver sensitivity (2.6 dBm) requiring lower frequency LO and smaller bandwidth MZMs.
