Abstract :
We have analyzed many of the technical issues involved in the development of a base-station to central office fiber link for last-mile wireless service. A power penalty due to the insertion of the fiber link has been determined for a chip laser based fiber radio downlink. Measurements have been performed to predict system performance, both for single channel and multi-channel operation
