Abstract :
A combination of radio over fiber and remote optical powering via optical fiber has been investigated and experimentally verified through the measurement of multilevel modulated signal transmission at 36 Mb/s with an optically-powered remote unit. A central unit optical power of 250 mW is required over a 300 in multimode fiber link for a radio over fiber remote unit with an output RF power of 0 dBm.
