Abstract

We investigated analog optical transmission performance degradation caused by nonlinear distortion by varying several operating conditions including the number of IF carrier, IF channel spacing, modulation index and transmission distance for future-proof cost-effective next generation mobile fronthaul architectures based on intermediate frequency over fiber (IFoF) technique.
