PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR A WCDMA RADIO OVER FIBER SYSTEM USING DIGITAL PRE-DISTORTER

In this paper,a Radio Over Fiber (ROF) system with a Digital Pre-Distorter (DPD) for WCDMA signal transmission is investigated.A Look-Up Table (LUT) based DPD and a Memory Polynomial (MP) DPD are applied in the ROF link so as to suppress the out-of-band spurious spectrum and improve the transmission performance.The experimental results show that the out-of-band emission due to existence of the third-order Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD3) is obviously sup-pressed by these two DPD.An Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) improvement of 8 dB is ob-tained for a single-carrier WCDMA signal transmission.These two DPD have equal ability in lin-earization of the ROF system for a three-carrier WCDMA signal transmission.There is no apparent memory effects exist in the ROF link.

Adaptive Performance Improvement of Fiber Bragg Grating in Radio over Fiber System

The combination of Radio Frequency and Optical Fiber has resulted high capacity transmission at lower costs components and makes Radio over Fiber as a current trend of large broadband communication. In Fiber optics field, the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) was been proposed in recent research with different purpose of uses. However, the compensation of dispersion method of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) can boost significantly the system performance. This paper investigates the performance capacity improvement of adaptive Radio over Fiber system. The system design was performed using OptiSystem 7.0 software, which 10 Gb/s Non Return to Zero (NRZ) signal was launched into 50 Km Universal Mode Fiber and Fiber Bragg Grating was used as a compensator of dispersion before frequency up conversion. Therefore, the system performances were investigated by comparing the Bit Error Rate (BER) and Q-factors of Positive Intrinsic Negative (PIN) and Ultrafast Avalanche Photodiode (APD) as optical receivers. The Eye diagram analyzer showed acceptable improvement due to use of Fiber Bragg Grating as a compensator of dispersion.

Impairments Approximations in Assembled mmWave and Radio Over Fiber Network

The fiber nonlinearity and phase noise(PN)are the focused impairments in the optical communication system,induced by high-capacity transmission and high laser input power.The channels include high-capacity transmissions that cannot be achieved at the end side without aliasing because of fiber nonlinearity and PN impairments.Thus,addressing of these distortions is the basic objective for the 5G mobile network.In this paper,the fiber nonlinearity and PN are investigated using the assembled methodology of millimeter-wave and radio over fiber(mmWave-RoF).The analytical model is designed in terms of outage probability for the proposed mmWave-RoF system.The performance of mmWave-RoF against fiber nonlinearity and PN is studied for input power,output power and length using peak to average power ratio(PAPR)and bit error rate(BER)measuring parameters.The simulation outcomes present that the impacts of fiber nonlinearity and PNcan be balanced for a huge capacity mmWave-RoF model applying input power carefully.

Broadband V-band Radio over Fiber Uplink Fronthaul Transmission Using Cascaded Microwave Photonic Downconversion Topology

Exploiting microwave photonic(MWP)techniques to generate and distribute high-frequency millimeter-wave(mm-wave)signals,termed mm-wave radio over fiber(m-RoF)signals,holds considerable potential for achieving highdensity and high-capacity fifth-generation and beyond networks.Herein,we experimentally validate a broadband m-RoF uplink fronthaul transmission system using the MWP downconversion concept,which comprises receiving and processing radio-frequency(RF)signals in the unlicensed V-band at around 60 GHz.The proposed system harnesses the simple cascaded modulator topology,in which an ultrawideband off-the-shelf Mach–Zehnder modulator(MZM)renders a simplestructured remote radio head by directly encoding the broadband 60 GHz uplink RF signal into the optical carrier.The nonlinear transfer function of another MZM at the center unit is explored to achieve subharmonic downconversion using cost-effective low-frequency local oscillator signals.Based on proof-of-concept experiments,mm-wave four quadrature amplitude modulation orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signals centered at frequencies ranging from 51 GHz to 70 GHz are successfully downconverted into signals at the intermediate frequency(IF)of 1.4 GHz.In the case of 1.2 m mm-wave,free-space,and 5 km m-RoF transmissions,the obtained IF signals with a total bandwidth of 2.4 GHz achieve a bit-to-error ratio performance lower than the 7%hard-decision forward error correction limit of 3.8×10^(−3).A gross bit rate of 10 Gbit/s can be achieved over a total spectrum of up to 10 GHz,which fully covers the globally unlicensed V-band of 57-66 GHz.

The new technique is characterized by a 3 dB built-in gain with better tolerance for chromatic dispersion in standard single mode fiber （SSMF）. Fiber Bragg grating （FBG） is used as chromatic dispersion compensating device to investigate the toler- ance of the proposed scheme. The simulation model of wavelength division multiplexing （WDM） based on OptiSystem.v.8.0 is presented. Simulation results show that there are error free transmission performance in a distance of 600 km with negligible power penalty and improved receiver sensitivity compared to conventional pulse carving approach.
