Abstract :
The impact of modulator chirp on single sideband (SSB) modulation radio over fiber (RoF) link is investigated and simulated. For a nonideal modulator with low extinction ratio, optimum drive signal unbalanced ratio could be applied to minimize the power variation of targeted signal and obtain a high quality microwave signal.
