A 60‐GHz point‐to‐multipoint (P‐MP) fiber‐radio access link with data rate of 156 Mb/s is presented. For a compact system configuration, a small‐size 60‐GHz transceiver module with planar antennas is developed. A point‐to‐point (P‐P) full‐duplex fiber‐optic configuration is extended to the scheme with multiple access points (APs) by using a tree coupler and a dense wavelength‐division multiplexing (DWDM) multiplexer (MUX). The bit error rate (BER) performances of the 60‐GHz fiber‐radio access link are measured and compared. Furthermore, the effect of the extension to the scheme with multiple APs is evaluated. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
