Abstract :
A field experiment that transmits a full bandwidth of C-band satellite downlink signals over 35 km of 1.3-μm single-mode fiber was demonstrated. The major requirements of this analog fiber-optic link for video transmission, including system linearity and carrier-to-noise ratio, were experimentally characterized. Assessment of the system performance was based on measurement of video signal quality. A complete system analysis is given and the results agree well with the measured data.
