Abstract
Experiments on the optical generation and transmission of millimetre-w ave radio signals are reported. The millimetre-wave carrier is generat ed by heterodyning the signals of two semiconductor lasers at an optic /millimetre-wave converter. A 140Mbit/s signal at a carrier frequency beyond 60GHz was transmitted successfully with a BER below 10(-9).
