Abstract
Millimeter-wave communications may be harnessed to  help  meet  future  5G  network  bandwidth  requirements,  but the  generation  of  these  frequencies  in  the  electronic  domain can  be  difficult and  costly.  Photonic  techniques, such  as  optical heterodyning,  can  be  exploited  to  generate  millimeter-wave  frequencies  in  a  manner  which  is  efficient  and  compatible  with fiber  transport  infrastructure.  In  this  letter,  analog  radio-over-fiber  transmission   of   five   bands  of   UF-OFDM,  with  optical heterodyning  around  60  GHz,  is  experimentally  demonstrated over  25  km  SSMF,  and  performance  well  below  the  forward error  correction  limit  is  achieved  for  an  aggregate  raw  bit  rate of 4.56 Gb/s. Additionally, the importance of precise optical phase correlation in these systems is highlighted with respect to future5G  system requirements.
