Abstract

An optical-fiber transmission system with a bandwidth of greater than 100 MHz for transmitting multichannel FM audio and video signals is described. This system for distributing FM audio and video signals on up to five channels to the respective receiver was constructed using a high-speed LED (light-emitting diode) and a wideband amplifier. The differential gain and differential phase were less than 2% and 3°, respectively, and the SNR was 56 dB. The proposed system will be used for high-quality, high reliability distribution of multiple TV channels instead of the coaxial cable distribution systems
