Optimized design of E/O and O/E converters for cost effective access points of WiMAX Radio over Fiber

Abstract

An optimized design of E/O and O/E converters for access points of WiMAX RoF was carried out by measuring RCE after 30 to 40km SMF. The use of the DFB, a low input-impedance driving, a low distortion PIN-PD, and a high gain EPHEMT amplifier is promising the cost-effective design.
