Summary:
We describe a low-cost and extremely stable millimeter-wave transmission system that uses a double-side-band (DSB) millimeter-wave self-heterodyne transmission technique. This technique allows us to use a comparatively low-cost and unstable millimeter-wave oscillator regardless of the modulation format. Furthermore, a transmission band-pass-filter (BPF) is not needed in the millimeter-wave band. The system cost can therefore be substantially reduced. We have theoretically and experimentally evaluated the carrier-to-noise power ratio (CNR) performance that can be obtained when using this technique relative to that attainable through a conventional millimeter-wave self-heterodyne technique where a single-side-band signal is transmitted. Our results show that the DSB self-heterodyne transmission technique can improve CNR by more than 3 dB.
