Abstract
Abstract Radio over Fibre (RoF) transport of high-speed wireless data provides a comprehensive solution for the forthcoming highly-reliable and spectral-efficient wireless systems. MIMO is one of the most widely used wireless technologies to increase the system reliability and capacity without any increased demand of power/bandwidth. However, the inherent non-linearities of RoF link and the multipath fading of the wireless channel can degrade the overall performance of the wireless system. In this work, authors demonstrate RoF transport of adaptively modulated MIMO signals and report the improvement in spectral efficiency under the impact of RoF link non-linearity. The transmitter of the proposed RoF based wireless system selects the appropriate modulation scheme with the assumption of perfect channel state information to achieve the acceptable BER at the subscriber end. The spectral efficiency improvement by this self-recovering MIMO-RoF system is evaluated by incorporating orthogonal Space-Time Block Code with 2 × 2 antenna configuration over the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel.
