Millimeter wave radio‐over‐fiber links using both single mode and, for what is believed to be the first time, multimode fibers are demonstrated over a 0–50 GHz bandwidth using a external Mach‐ Zehnder modulator operating at 1550 nm. The multimode fiber links show the potential for use in low‐cost distributed antenna systems. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
