Transmission Performance Evaluation of Wireless Communication System Based on UWB Signals over Optical Fiber

The aim of this paper is to assess the transmission performance of the Ultra Wideband (UWB) signals over fiber system that consists of Single Mode Fiber (SMF) and Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF). This investigation covers both electrical and optical generation of UWB signal. Simulation results are presented using both Gaussian monocycle and doublet pulse each operating with bit rate 1.25 Gbps and 10 Gb/s with ON-OFF Keying (OOK) modulation technique. The simulation results reveal that extending the coverage area for UWB signals towards 130 km in electrical generation and 230 km in the optical generation is possible for the UWB signals and modulation format adopted in this work.
