Abstract

This work develops a simple distributed fiber-link system with a newly designed antenna to generate ultrawideband (UWB) pulses for indoor wireless communications. The proposed system comprises a gain-switched distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD), electro-absorption modulator (EAM), a photodetector and a pair of coplanar waveguide (CPW) antennas. This optical approach can tolerate pulse dispersion and prevent the generation of intersymbol interference (TSI), since the optical pulse width is easily adjustable, providing better radio communication, as determined by the generation of UWB signal. Furthermore, the simulated and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can generate high-quality UWB pulse signals for application to future indoor high-bit-rate wireless communications.
