Abstract

Providing high data rates and wide bandwidth applications are the most important challenges that mobile systems and radio networks are trying to accomplish. Radio over Fiber-RoF systems is a promoting research field since it benefits of Passive Optical Network (PON) advantages and unlicensed large bands in 60 GHz millimeter band (57-64GHz). In this study, we consider a complete RoF system from the central office to the end-user passing by the base station and we study the impact of propagation environment on the whole system performance and radio coverage by considering different scenarios for multipath propagation (Line of Sight-LOS, Non Line of Sight-NLOF). In particular, we have been interested in Rayleigh and Rice propagation models for both indoor and outdoor environments. Optisystem/ADS Co-simulation has been investigated to simulate RoF network coverage for indoor and outdoor environments while considering high data rates.
