Abstract
The use of optical fibers for microwave signal transmission offers significant advantages over conventional coaxial links. The advantages include significantly lower losses for large transmission distances and high frequencies and the benefits of smaller size and weight. Directly modulated laser diodes can function as transmitters for frequencies up to 20 GHz,1 while other techniques such as FM sideband injection locking,2 are useful for transmission of signals up to 35 GHz and higher.
