A Comparison of Radio over Fiber Link Types for the Support of Wideband Radio Channels

Three radio over fiber link types are compared to assess their relative performance for the optical transmission of next generation wireless signals having multiple wideband radio channels with high-level modulation. These links differ in their choice of modulation device; either a directly modulate...
