The bit walk-off effect caused by fiber dispersion and carrier reuse in the base station (BS) are two key problems in radio-over-fiber (ROF) systems. In this paper, a novel frequency-octupling ROF system based on the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) is proposed, which can overcome the bit walk-off effect and realize carrier reuse by inserting pilot signals. Theoretical analysis and simulation verification of the system are carried out. Under the condition of a Q factor greater than 6, the optical fiber transmission distance of the upper and lower links is more than 290 km and 80 km, respectively. The influence of the main device parameters of the system on the Q factor is analyzed when they deviate from their designed values. The system designed in this paper can not only effectively overcome the bit walk-off effect, but also solve the problem of downlink performance degradation and the limitation of tunability caused by conventional carrier reuse in ROF. The system can greatly increase the transmission distance and improve the performance of the system and has an important application prospect in ROF.

An analysis is presented for super-high-speed optical demodulation by an avalanche photodiode(APD) with electric mixing. A normalized gain is defined to evaluate the performance of the optical mixing detection. Unlike previous work, we include the effect of the nonlinear variation of the APD capacitance with bias voltage as well as the effect of parasitic and amplifier input capacitance. As a results, the normalized gain is dependent on the signal frequency and the frequency difference between the signal and the local oscillator frequency. However, the current through the equivalent resistance of the APD is almost independent of signal frequency. The mixing output is mainly attributed to the nonlinearity of the multiplication factor. We show also that there is an optimal local oscillator voltage at which the normalized gain is maximized for a given avalanche photodiode.

In radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems, nonlinear compensation is essential to improve performance. Among the several existing nonlinear compensation techniques, we investigate a predistortion technique for a directly modulated laser in an RoF system. First, we obtain the input-to-output response of a directly modulated laser at 160, 820, and 1,540 MHz. The results show that the laser response is dependent on the frequency band. Second, we design an optimal predistortion circuit to compensate for the nonlinear responses of three frequency bands. We design the predistortion circuit with two options: each predistortion circuit for each frequency band and one single predistortion circuit for all the three frequency bands. Finally, we present the simulation results of the predistortion system obtained using a commercial simulator. These results show that the third intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is improved by 0.6-9 dB for the three frequency bands with only a single predistortion circuit.

Increasing traffic and bandwidth requirements bring challenges to the next generation wireless networks (5G). As one of the main technology in 5G networks, Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) can be used to improve network coverage. In this paper, a radio over fiber based model is proposed to solve the load balancing problem in ultra-dense network. Stochastic differential game is introduced for the load balancing algorithm, and optimal load allocated to each access point (RAP) are formulated as Nash Equilibrium. It is proved that the optimal load can be achieved and the stochastic differential game based scheme is applicable and acceptable. Numerical results are given to prove the effectiveness of the optimal algorithm.

We present the design and fabrication of a 60 GHz medium power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit with excellent gain-flatness for a 60 GHz radio-over-fiber system. The circuit has a 4-stage structure using microstrip coupled lines instead of metal-insulator-metal capacitors for unconditional stability of the amplifier and yield enhancement. The gains of each stage of the amplifier are modified to provide broadband characteristics of input/output matching for the first and fourth stages and to achieve higher gains for the second and third stages to improve the gain-flatness of the amplifier for wideband.

최근 통신시스템과 핸드폰, PDA등의 통신기기들의 발전에 따라 사용자들은 높은 데이터 전송률과 고속의 통신서비스를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 유 무선 통합 시스템인 Radio-over-Fiber(RoF) 시스템은 그 대안으로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 광전자소자를 선 왜곡 방식에 적용하여 광 송신기의 선형성을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 선 왜곡 방식은 두 개의 루프로 구성되어 있으며, 광 부품인 레이저 다이오드와 포토 다이오드 그리고 RF 부품인 위상변위기, 감쇄기, RF 결합/분배기, RF 증폭기를 사용하였다. 메인 루프에서 주 레이저 다이오드의 비선형성에 의해 발생된 왜곡신호성분은 보조 루프에서 부 레이저 다이오드를 이용하여 추출된 선 왜곡신호에 의해서 제거된다. 제안된 선형화 기법을 적용하여 2.4 GHz에서 선형화 기법을 적용하기 전보다 3차 상호변조 왜곡성분이 약 30dB 향상된 결과를 얻었다.

We have systematically designed and experimentally demonstrated the opto-electrical predistortion optical transmitter using microwave circuit modelling for reducing the nonlinearity of the distributed-feedback laser diode (DFD-LD). The DFB-LD is analyzed using microwave circuits model based on rate equations. Through the system-level simulation for predistortion method, the optimized characteristics of the RF components in the system are confirmed. The simulated and experimental results show the reduced distortion products. These results are analyzed as the evaluation parameters for the miniaturization and optimization of the opto-electrical predistortion method in radio-over-fiber systems.

Herein, we demonstrate clipping distortion suppression of directly modulated multi-IF-over-fiber links using a simple shunt diode predistorter. The dynamic range of a directly modulated analog fiber optic link is limited by nonlinear distortions caused by laser-diode clipping. We investigate the link performance in the context of carrie-to-noise and distortion ratio (CNDR) and error vector magnitude (EVM) requirements when supporting LTE-A services. We also design an analog predistorter with a shunt-diode structure, and demonstrate experimentally that the predistorter has the ability to suppress clipping-induced third-order intermodulation distortions of the link by at most 14 dB. It also improves the CNDR and EVM of the 4-IF-multiplexed LTE-A carriers by 7 dB and 2.9%, respectively.
