RF-Carrier Embedded Optical Radio-Signal	Preserves the phase-lock loop and local oscillator (LO). The pure RF carrier is a frequency source to down-convert the incoming signals at the intermediate frequency (IF), where it can be easily modulated by a low-frequency optical modulator. Frequency, phase and amplitude of the incoming signals are preserved at the IF band, since the RF carrier is spontaneously synchronized with the original source. The detector linearity is improved since the two pure optical carriers have more power compare to the optical data band.	5800
