The authors examine a resonant tunnelling diode (RTD)‐based wireless transceiver system in conjunction with radio‐over‐fibre (RoF) and identify the performance limiting factors. Ultra high‐definition television 4K‐video over 1 km fibre and 15 cm wireless is demonstrated. In addition error‐free data transmission up to 11 Gbit/s over 1 km fibre and 10 cm wireless is also presented. Eye‐diagram and jitter results for laboratory RoF equipment show the performance is not degraded with respect to an RTD‐only system, and that RoF‐RTD is considered promising and complementary technologies.
