Abstract :
A study on multi-band-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) Ultra-Wideband (UWB) signal transmission through an single-mode fiber based intensity modulated laser via Radio over Fiber system is presented. MB-OFDM compliant UWB signals with frequency ranging between 3.1 GHz to 4.8 GHz are generated using the WisAir Development Kit DV9110M. Packet Error Rate measurement is performed to evaluate the system performance based on different optical fiber lengths, data rates, and transmitting UWB power levels. The results of sending UWB signals over RoF show very encouraging results over long distances even in the demanding ultra-wideband environment.
