Design and Simulation of Radio Over Fiber system and its performance analysis using RZ coding

A Radio Over Fiber is an integration of fiber optic and wireless networks, which provides untethered access to broadband wireless communications in a wide range of applications including extension of existing radio coverage and capacity, last mile solutions, etc. Radio Over Fiber (ROF) access facilitates high-capacity multimedia services in a real-time basis. The ROF system model developed in Optisystem 10 have integrated systems for both RF wireless and optical fiber whereby, the ROF network model consists of a central station, a remote access unit and an optical fiber link model that uses the commercially available parameters. Here we investigates the variations in Q factor, BER and eye opening with respect to the wavelength, bit rate and fiber length for RZ coding using the simulation software.
