The requirement of high bandwidth, high flexibility, high mobility and high data rate at lower cost can be met with a real convergence of radio over fiber (RoF) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. This paper compares the results of OFDM as a modulation for radio over fiber in passive optical network (PON) for 288km single mode fiber with that of dispersion compensator fiber. The four optical network units (ONUs) are connected by using 1:4 ratio passive optical splitter. A laser source of 1550 nm, bit rate of 10 Gbits/sec is used to simulate the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
