Performance Evaluation of Radio-over-Fibre Systems Using Mach-Zehnder Modulator

چکیده
This paper investigates the bit error rate (BER) performance of a radio-overfibre (RoF) system utilizing the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) at a radio frequency (RF) of 5 GHz. The RF signal is externally modulated using the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The effects of noise sources and channels for the RoF link at distances of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 200 km are investigated. We shown that the RoF system offers lower BER performance compared to the RF wireless communication system employing the same modulation schemes.

Optical single sideband signal generation relying on a single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator for radio over fibre communications
Abstract: Optical single sideband (OSSB) signals are conventionally generated using a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) or by using a single-drive MZM in conjunction with a fibre Bragg grating filter. In this study, the authors propose and mathematically characterise a novel radio over fibre downlink in which an OSSB signal is generated using a single-drive, rather than dual-drive, MZM wi...
متن کاملEffect of Nonlinear Phase Variation in Optical Millimetre Wave Radio over Fibre Systems
In this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave RoF) system that uses a dual drive Mach Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. The input to the DD-MZM are binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-phase shift keying (8-PSK) and...

Radio over Fiber (RoF) is a next generation wireless broadband Internet access technology. In Radio over Fiber system the radio signal is generated at the central station is modulated on to light and transmitted over optical fiber cable to various base stations. The base station has to convert the optical signal to an electrical signal, amplify and transmit it. Modulation of RF signal onto ligh...

In this paper, we present a performance analysis of a Multi-band, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) Radio-Over-Fibre (RoF) system for UltraWideband (UWB) applications in the 60-GHz radio band. We have made use of two cascaded Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) to carry out optical upconversion of the MB-OFDM signal to the 60 GHz band. The impact of the non-linearity of the MZM, f...
