Abstract

In this paper, an analytical model is represented to analyze and improve the performance of radio over fiber (RoF) links against nonlinear distortion. RoF transmission link comprised of a phase modulator, polarizer and optical filter is considered. By controlling angles of polarization, the signals are fed to the modulator. Polarizer helps to suppress intermodulation distortion along the considered link. Performance is found in terms of spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). Results show an improvement of 7.5-dB in SFDR for a polarized link in comparison with the conventional link.
