This paper investigates up‐conversion of a 54‐Mb/s 802.11a WLAN signal in a radio‐over‐fiber (RoF) link. The frequency conversion is realized using either a DFB laser diode or an electro‐optical modulator (EOM) (both biased in nonlinear regimes). Very low error‐vector magnitude (EVM) measurements are reported at minimum of transmission of electro‐optical modulator for a large 802.11a input power range, and an acceptable EVM degradation is obtained using the cost‐effective LD mixing technique, but with a limited input power range. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
