Design and simulation of a Radio Over Fiber system and its performance analysis

摘要

A Radio Over Fiber has the special characteristic feature of having both a fiber optic link and a free space radio path. Fiber based wireless (Fi-Wi) access facilitates high-capacity multimedia services in a real-time basis. The simulation model developed using Optisystem 10 have integrated systems for both RF wireless and optical fiber whereby, the ROF network model consists of a central station, a remote access unit and an optical fiber link model that uses the commercially available parameters. We also investigates the variations in Q factor, BER and eye opening with respect to the wavelength, bit rate and fiber length using the simulation software.
