Abstract

The authors investigate the feasibility of using an optical fiber feeder for microcellular mobile communication systems. The optical feeder enables compact and low-cost base stations, easy radio channel control, and flexible mobile communication systems. Basic transmission characteristics were investigated through optical transmission experiments. Using these results, it is estimated that the optical feeder can transmit 880 telephone channels for digital TDM systems and 2000 channels for analog FDM systems through 20 km of optical fiber. Furthermore, two kinds of novel techniques that enlarge dynamic range of the optical feeder are reported. >
