Radio ommunications in the range of 60 GHz enable multi-Gigabit s network access in indoor
environments. Due to the propagation characteristics of such signals only very short range
radio transmission is feasible. In order to distribute these signals across large distances
analog transmission over optical fiber is considered. In this work mode-locked laser diodes
serve as optoelectronic oscillators for the generation of such signals. Their system-relevant
properties are studied in detail.
