“…Recently, UWB RoF bus over large core plastic optical fibers (POF) has been demonstrated to reduce the CapEx for in-building networks [16]. Optical distribution of UWB signal to the different ANs is realised by the use of cascaded optical power splitters to feed the different ANs.…”

This paper presents the demonstration of a distributed antenna system (DAS) based on a radio-over-fiber (RoF) bus for wireless local area networks (WLAN). RoF bus has been designed based on the use of cascaded building blocks to support a large number of access nodes using electronic coupling and in-line amplification inside the access nodes. A dedicated emulation protocol has been defined to test the RoF bus and experimental results have shown that a coverage distance of about 4.5 meters is obtained for bi-directional communications up to 18 access nodes. For large buildings, a star-bus network, based on multiple interconnected RoF buses is proposed, and significant reduction of in-building deployed fiber length is achieved (89%) compared to a RoF star network infrastructure.
