Abstract
This article presents a characterization study of a stateoftheart 40 GHz modelocked laser using a hybrid integrated microstrip patch antenna and biasT circuit A passive modelocking range of 300 MHz is measured using this technique by tuning the gain and saturable absorber bias values for a maximum wireless distance of 15 cm The passive modelocking signal is detected by a direct offair method from a photonic active integrated antenna This signal can be used as a remote local oscillator to downconvert incoming signals as part of a bidirectional system for inbuilding/campus wide remote antenna units in next generation millimetrewave radiooverfibre systems
