Abstract

Abstract : The transmission of multiple standard‐compliant long‐term evolution advance (LTE‐A) bands together with a 4‐pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) baseband signal over 50‐m‐long 1 mm core diameter polymethyl methacrylate graded‐index plastic optical fibre is demonstrated. Transmission of eight LTE‐A 64‐QAM bands and a 1.2 Gbit/s 4‐PAM baseband signal over the fibre was achieved resulting in an error vector magnitude <8% and pre‐forward error correction (FEC) BER < 10 −3, respectively.
