Abstract

Abstract: A Radio over Fiber (RoF) system has a unique feature of containing both a fiber optic link and a free space radio path. Fiber based wireless access facilitates high-capacity multimedia services in a real-time basis. In this research paper, the RoF system is simulated in the presence of fiber impairments, namely, Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and Cross Phase Modulation (XPM) and Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) with the help of OptiSystem simulation tool. The variations in Quality factor (Q factor) and Bit Error Rate (BER) with respect to wavelength of 1552 nm and bit rates of 10 Gb/s of input signal is analyzed in the presence of the linear and non-linear impairments of the fiber. Keywords: Radio over Fiber (RoF), Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), Cross Phase Modulation (XPM), Four-Wave Mixing (FWM), OptiSystem, Bit Error Rate (BER), Q factor.
