16 Channels WDM Radio Over Fiber System With DCF and FBG compensators

Abstract

In the current telecommunications system design, Radio over Fiber (RoF) technologies are essentials to fifth generation (5G) communication networks, which aims to improve the network capacity and the cost efficiency. A 16-channels WDM RoF system was simulated and analyzed for optimum performance using dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with channel spacings of 100 GHz and 50 GHz, and SMF lengths of 20km and 50km.
