Design analysis and performance evaluation of the WDM integration with CO-OFDM system for radio over fiber System

Abstract

<span>The optical communication and wireless networks can be integrated to increase the capacity and mobility with decrease the costs in the access networks. Optical communication is considered a Fiber optic communication that can be used for wired and wireless communication. The problems of Fiber optic communication have a solution represented by Radio over fiber (RoF) which can control many base stations (BSs) that connect to a central station (CS) with an optical fiber. The Coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) have concerned a great interest due to the high spectral efficiency and strength to the fiber dispersion, also it can be considered as a promising candidate when used in long haul optical fiber transmission systems. The integration of the wavelength division multiplexing system (WDM) with (CO-OFDM) system for increasing the system performance as well as achieving high data rates. The simulation of WDM-ROF and  (WDM-CO-OFDM) with an optisystem simulator to analyze the RF spectrum, spectrum signal visualizers, and constellation diagrams. The proposed of integration of WDM and RoF-OFDM system is to achieve 100 km fiber length using 4QAM sequence bit, and the received power with electrical and optical amplifications by using 10 Gbps data signal.</span>
