Sa. Havstad et al., Distance-independent microwave and millimeter-wave power fading compensation using a phase diversity configuration, IEEE PHOTON, 12(8), 2000, pp. 1052-1054
We use a nonlinearly chirped fiber Bragg grating in a phase diversity confi
guration to achieve distance-independent microwave and millimeter-wave disp
ersion-induced power fading compensation for double-sideband subcarrier-mul
tiplexed systems. We demonstrate compensation for power fading over 150 km
at 8 and 12 GHz, with received subcarrier power in all cases uniform to wit
hin 1 dB.
