Abstract :
A laser model validated through measured performance metrics is designed and used for simulating the performance of a multi-channel 4th generation mobile/wireless radio over fiber transmission system. Predictions indicate that the architecture provides adequate performance in terms of EVM, for different IFFT sizes and modulation levels of up to 256 QAM (at least), and a combined raw data rate of up to 3.2 Gbps.
