millimetre-wave band architecture for UWB transmission systems and simulations results using VPIsystems software are described. With a Central Station"CS" and a Base Station "BS", this architecture allows to send simultaneously a microwave carrier and data through an optical fibre by using a wavelength multiplexer. The investigated structure makes it easier to transpose the RF signal to 60 GHz after multiple multiplication operations of the frequency carrier at the BS.
