A Radio over Fiber (RoF) system has been planned for the advanced performance of radio
systems having higher bandwidth for mobile communications. This system combines
the optical network with the wireless network for future broadband applications. These
systems have numerous advantages compared to the other communication systems. RoF
systems have higher bandwidth and immunity to RF interference. Nowadays, broadband
communication demand is rising rapidly so, to meet the demand, a large number of base
stations (BS) and a large sum of money are required. RoF is a solution since it can
operate a lot of BSs that are connected to the central station (CS) by using optical fiber
and offer a cost-effective solution. Due to attenuation, dispersion, amplified spontaneous
emission noise (ASE), thermal noise, shot noise, and nonlinearities, received signals of
RoF tend to be of low quality. Those factors will make the value of bit error rate (BER)
high, the value of Q factor low, the received power low, and the receiver will not operate
in a high data rate network.
In gigabit transmission systems, dispersion, attenuation, ASE, and non-linear effects the
communication system and to minimize these problems we have used SCM/WDM-RoF
system and cascaded optical amplifiers. The bit error rate must be brought down to a
specific level, and the Q factor must be raised. The design of RoF will be simulated
by using Opti System software. Based on the calculated BER, Q factor value, and eye
diagram height, the RoF receiver’s performance is evaluated. From comparative analysis
of EDFA, and Optical Gain+EDFA the performance of the hybrid system is best in
terms of Q-factor, BER and received optical power. We have also noticed that ASE noise
reduces the performance of RoF system.
