Microwave photonics will play an important role in 5G systems to support wideband and low loss operations. In this paper, recent development in microwave photonic techniques for 5G will be discussed. In particular, coherent radio over fiber techniques for fiber wireless access will be discussed. Associated microwave photonic sub-systems for 5G, including silicon-based photonic integrated optoelectronic oscillator and programmable silicon-based on-chip photonic signal processor, will also be discussed.
