Abstract

This paper introduces the transmission of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n) and LTE wireless channels over a coupled Single Mode Fiber (SMF) and Multi-mode Fiber (MMF) to the residential gateway using Optical Frequency Multiplication (OFM) at the central office. At the coupled SMF and MMF junction, an offset launch technique is applied to improve the signal bandwidth. The transportation of mm-wave frequencies over fiber cables causes modal and chromatic dispersion. This paper discuses the analysis of this technique in improving the signal bandwidth by mitigating the pulse broadening induced by the MMF cable.
