The dispersion-induced phase noise (PN) in an OFDM RoF system at 60 GHz leads to not only subcarrier phase rotation (PRT) but also intercarrier interference (ICI) to severely degrade the transmission performance, when a commercial cost-effective DFB laser with the linewidth of several MHz is adopted. To mitigate both PRT and ICI, a post PN suppression algorithm is proposed, and it does not require any bandwidth-consuming pilot tone. For a 25.78-Gbps 16-QAM OFDM RoF signal using the laser with 1.8-MHz linewidth, employing the algorithm can extend the maximum transmission distance which corresponds to 3-dBm power penalty at the BER of 2 × 10(-3) from 75 km to more than 115 km, i.e. 50% increment of transmission distance.
