Title: Radio-over-Fibre - Issues and Challenges

By: Dr. Masud Bakaul (Monash University)

Date: 26 February 2015, Thursday
Time: 2:30 - 4:00 pm
Venue: Gallery 2, Ground Floor, Admin Building, Faculty of Engineering, UPM, 43400 Serdang, Selangor.

Abstract:

Millimetre-wave radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems are widely considered as a disruptive technology for Gigabit/s wireless access applications. This talk reviews recent progresses in the simplification of generation, transport and detection of optically modulated millimetre-wave signal that can offer high-speed wireless access at potentially low-costs. The talk specifically focuses in the introduction of unlocked optical heterodyning in photodetection and RF homodyning in demodulation that overcome the key hurdles towards the realization of low-cost RoF systems. 

Biography:

Dr. Masud Bakaul is a researcher and developer in Information and Communication Systems and Technologies with a proven track record of accomplishments and leadership. He joined Monash as a senior lecturer in 2014. Prior to joining Monash, he worked 8 years for National ICT Australia (NICTA) and the University of Melbourne, Australia (UoM), where he completed his PhD in 2006. At NICTA andUoM, he developed and led several collaborative research programs in Optics and RF, and contributed significantly to the areas of optical communications, broadband access networks, and microwave photonics. He authored more than 75 scientific articles in these areas that include 25 top tier journals, 11 invited papers/talks, 40 refereed conference papers, and one book. His publications have been cited more than 600 times by peer researchers. He serves in the editorial board of several international journals, and reviews IEEE and OSA journals on a regular basis. He is actively involved to the organization of many regional and international conferences. He was a Co-Chair and Chair of the TPC of ?ATNAC? in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Prior to resuming a research career in 2002, he worked 5 years in fibre optics manufacturing industry.

Attached is the poster for the talk. Please help to disseminate this information to your colleagues. 

Many thanks
