Abstract :
We propose utilizing a radio-over-fiber technique of optical subcarrier-multiplexing transmission for radio base stations (BSs) with adaptive array antennas. The proposed system can be constructed at low cost since only one optical transmitter and receiver is required for a center station and a BS. Moreover, relative phases among antenna branches are insensitive to equivalent length fluctuation of an optical fiber
