Transmission of coexisting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-baseband (BB) and multi-band OFDM-ultrawideband (UWB) signals along long-reach passive optical networks using directly modulated lasers (DML) is experimentally demonstrated. When optimized modulation indexes are used, bit error ratios not exceeding 5 × 10 −4 can be achieved by all (OFDM-BB and three OFDM-UWB sub-bands) signals for a reach of 100 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and optical signal-to-noise ratios not lower than 25 dB@0.1 nm. It is experimentally shown that, for the SSMF reach of 100 km, the optimized performance of coexisting OFDM-BB and OFDM-UWB signals is mainly imposed by the combination of two effects: the SSMF dispersion-induced nonlinear distortion of the OFDM-UWB signals caused by the OFDM-BB and OFDM-UWB signals, and the further degradation of the OFDM-UWB signals with higher frequency, due to the reduced DML bandwidth.

Multiband (MB) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless, which provides high data rate access, is required to be distributed by using optical fiber. The performance of MB-OFDM UWB over fiber transmission system is investigated considering optical modulation and demodulation impact. Theoretical analysis of the effect of fiber dispersion, optical transmitter, and optical receiver response on system performance is carried out considering amplitude and phase distortion. Experiments are conducted and verified by our theoretical analysis and good agreement is obtained.
Transmission of Multi-Band OFDM and Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband Signals Over Single Mode Fiber
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2000
In this paper we examine the transmission of two types of ultra-wideband (UWB) signals, multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) and impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB), over single mode fiber at 1550 nm. In order to investigate the impact of optical components such as laser diode, external modulator and single mode fiber on UWB signals, we develop mathematical models for these components. These models are experimentally verified and corresponding numerical parameter values are obtained by experiment. Using these models we discuss the transmission of two types of UWB signals over single mode fiber. A new figure of merit namely distortion factor is defined.

We for the first time propose the highly efficient method of RF and optical signal mixing based on two different architectures: the parallel-RF/serial-optics architecture characterized by all-optical mixing for sub-carrier multiplexing, and the parallel-RF/parallel-optics architecture based on the array of 12x10 GHz components with directly modulated VCSELs and 12 multimode optical fibers. The main advantages of the both architectures are simplicity and low-cost implementation. We have carried out numerical simulations of ultra-wideband signals propagation in the proposed systems and proved the high efficiency and feasibility of the proposed method.

The influence of the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) bias and driving voltages on the transmission performance of multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultrawideband radio signals is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Particularly, the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) required to achieve a given bit error probability is evaluated for a bias voltage close to the minimum power transmission of the MZM characteristic. In addition, the required OSNR obtained for that bias voltage is compared with the OSNR required when the MZM is biased at the quadrature point. The analysis is performed for different fiber lengths indicated for long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs). It is shown that lower OSNR is required when the modulator is biased at the quasi-minimum point than when it is biased at the quadrature point, for all the fiber reaches analyzed. This is due to the compromise between additional distortion induced by the modulator and lower carrier-to-signal-power ratio when the quasi-minimum bias point is employed. In addition, it is also shown that, as for the quadrature bias point, similar optimum driving voltages are obtained for the different LR-PONs reaches analyzed, when the quasi-minimum bias point is employed.

The simultaneous distribution of nine double sideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband signals along fiber lengths indicated for long-reach passive optical networks is demonstrated experimentally. This is an efficient solution and an alternative to single sideband and chirped modulator approaches proposed to mitigate the dispersion-induced power fading.

Recently there is increasing interest in using optical fiber links to distribute impulse radio-ultrawideband (IR-UWB) signals in order to increase the coverage area. This paper investigates the transmission performance of these signals over existing fiber links and addresses the possibility of increasing the coverage area beyond 30 km.The transmission link consists of a single- mode fiber, dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and, optical amplifiers. Simulation results are presented using Optisystem (version 13.0) software package for both Gaussian monocycle and 5th-order derivative Gaussian systems, each operating with ON-OFF keying (OOK) and biphase modulation (BPM) formats. The results reveal that extending the coverage area for 625 Mb/s UWB signal toward 100 km is possible for the UWB signals and modulation formats adopted in this study.
