Design of Millimetre Wave Personal Radio Systems
Using Fibre Optic Links
Abstract:My research theme at ATR was Design of MMW Personal Radio Systems Using Fibre Optic
Links. Within that theme I had two main objectives; construction of a demonstration system
and identification of new fibre optic architectures and techniques with potential for reducing
system cost.
Figure 1 outlines the main themes of the research I undertook at ATR; the principle goals
achieved are summarized and the direction which future development could take is indicated.
The emphasis in the report is on aspects of my research not fully dealt with in published
papers and reference is made to those publications when appropriate.
