Abstract

The use of fiber-based wireless system has offered a reliable and cost effective communication system. Such system greatly provides superior possible bandwidths for both fiber and free-space applications. For that reason, radio over fiber (RoF) technology is the best preference to deal with the improved capacity and mobility mainly at higher frequency. However, RoF link might suffer from the power fading effect especially when millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal transmission is involved. Therefore, this work aims to investigate the mitigating of power fading for the proposed configuration of high optical carrier frequency signal generation at three different conditions based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) technique.
