Abstract:

Future wireless communications are being pushed to broadband communications with rates well above Gb/s. Millimeter wave access systems require innovation in optical and electronic hardware as part of the front end subsystems. This workshop addresses system architectures and performance of the front end opto-electronics that could meet information throughput of well above Gb/s.
