Multitone Upconverted Phase-Modulated Signal RoF Link for 6G & Next-Generation Networks

Abstract

The Next-Generation Networks offer a green environment with demanded data rates with ultra-low latency. Future efforts will be oriented in more degrees of freedom and system complexity with incorporating global optimization in terms of non-linearities, cost-effective, and reduced environmental impacts. The multitone upconverted radio over fibre (RoF) link with an optical modulator as phase modulator as desired alternatives with respect to optimization features and quantum photonic integration. In this paper, a framework has been developed to characterise the upconverted phase modulated signal model based on next-generation networks, in which an analytical model is investigated for single-tone upconverted, two-tone upconverted, and three-tone upconverted. Numerical simulations have been carried out to verify the novel outcomes using OptSIM software. The developed analytical models have a major contribution to the implementation of next-generation networks such as 5G, 6G, WiMAX, Quantum Communication, etc. The fundamentals of harmonics and the intermodulation product terms of third and fifth order via optical link are also evaluated for multitone Phase modulated RoF link with upconversion method. As per the finding outcomes, the proposed link is adaptable with frequency upconversion and long fibre distances.
