Abstract :
The power consumption of radio over fiber fed distributed antenna networks is modeled. By optimization of the antenna unit RF output power, the power consumption is minimized. Optimized broadband multi-service and narrowband single service solutions are compared and it is shown that when more than 2 services are to be provided, the broadband multi-service system is more efficient.
