Abstract

In this work, an alternative technology to extend wireless coverage beyond the conventional methods of providing radio propagation coverage is presented. The use of a radiating cable is proposed for difficult-to-reach areas. In this regard, an indoor radiating cable is successfully employed for the distribution of an analog electric signal in a fiber-radio scheme using a microwave photonic filter. A filtered microwave band-pass window located at 2.24 GHz is used as an electrical carrier to transmit an analog TV-signal of 67.25 MHz over an optical link of 25.28 km. Measurements are carried out in an indoor environment. Experimental results demonstrate that the recovered signal is of good quality in each measurement location, exhibiting on average a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of around 31.60 dB.

Highlights

  • The widespread use of mobile communications with broadband applications has increased in recent years

  • The novelty of this work resides in the integration of radiated able technique with cable technique scheme with the to transmit fiber scheme and distribute to transmit electrical and distribute signals, using electrical signals, using optoelectronic techniques and its further distribution in an indoor environment

  • The characteristics of the indoor environment as well as the position of the omnidirectional antenna that will receive the signal transmitted by the radiating cable are described
