• Fiber can be better than coaxial cable
• New functionalities
Fiber Coax - Size 0.25 mm 2-6 mm - Weight 0.073 g/m 30~100 g/m - Loss(dB/km) 0.4~0.8 1000~1500 - Time-Bandwidth Product >106 102
Advantage of Fiber over Coaxial Cable

► High transmission loss of millimeter-wave - Many antenna base stations - Many closed-area (no service area) ► Radio-on-fiber systems
Broadband Wireless Access
CARRIER FREQ.: Millimeter Waves FCC opened 70, 80 and 90GHz bands for commercial uses (2004/10) Millimeter-wave generation and processing are required
Broadband fixed backbone

Military Applications – (1)
Fiber : flexible, small and light, no EMI Communication Network Radar Systems – Phased Array Antennas
Military Applications – (2)
Fiber : flexible, small and light, no EMI Communication and Radar Systems in Planes and Tanks Inter-Connection between Complex Control Systems
Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)
ALMA : study the structure of the early universe and the evolution of galaxies The array consists of 64 telescopes with 12-meter dish antennas Location : high-altitude (5000 meters), extremely dry mountain site in Chile's Atacama desert for free from distortions caused by atmospheric water
