A feasibility study of fiber-optic radio transmission system over IM/DD digital optical transmission network

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a coexistence method between an intensity modulated/direct detection (IM/DD) digital optical communication system and a radio over fiber (RoF) distribution system. In order to investigate the feasibility, we evaluated an experimental testbed and measured the distortion level of the transmitted radio signal and optical digital signal at the receiver.
