Transmission Performance of mm-Waves on Radio over Fiber Systems: Dispersion and Intermodulation Issues
Abstract
Next generation wireless networks must provide high broadband access, which can be achieved by combining the fiber optics and wireless technologies. In this paper we analyze a mm-wave radio over fiber (RoF) optical access network architecture, combining radio subcarrier multiplexing techniques to improve system efficiency with fiber dispersion mitigation provided by optical single sideband modulation techniques. Our results show the system degradation introduced by the fiber link, namely fiber dispersion and intermodulation effects.
