Performance Analysis of Band-mapped RoF system for Integrated Broadband Wireless transmission

This paper studies the performance of a novel RoF (Radio over fiber) architecture ? band-mapped RoF, which is used for the integrated transmission of multiple wireless broadband signals. The use of optical fiber links to distribute RF signals from a central BS to multiple RAU’s (Remote Access Units) is the basis of RoF technology. In the band-mapped RoF system the wireless services and millimeter wave services are mapped to four frequency sub-bands in the electrical domain and are optically up-converted to the 60 Ghz sub-bands. This architecture utilizes the 7 Ghz bandwidth of the free and abundant 60 Ghz RF band. This system can be widely implemented in the LAN’s as it consumes very low power and suffer minimum losses in the optical-wireless networks.
