Abstract :
Impact of channel spacing in a WDM network on the performance of wireless channels selected by the coherent optical heterodyne radio-over-fiber approach. Experimental demonstration shows a penalty of about ~1 dB per 5 GHz decreased channel spacing down to a channel spacing of 15 GHz and a penalty of ~2 dB between 15 GHz and 10 GHz channel spacing.
