Generation and distribution of ROF signals

Abstract

The work presented in this dissertation focused on the study of techniques for the generation and distribution of radio signals over fiber (RoF). Initially the various components associated to the optical channel were studied, to conclude how each of them affects the propagated RoF signals, and what are the key limitations associated. Following this initial study, experimental work was carried out, the transmission of radio signals (3G) on a single-channel optical system was studied, to observe and verify the limiting phenomena identified earlier. The next step was the generation of radio signals by frequency multiplication in the optical domain, with reduced cost and complexity, by using a Mach-Zehnder modulator in non-linear regime, considering different modulation formats. Several simulations were performed, focusing on optimizing topologies and parameters associated to the different components involved, especially in the transmitter and receiver. The performed work was the basis to the concepts presented in Chapter 5, in which a distribution scenario involving a passive optical network with multi-channel OFDM signals, compatible with UWB, generated by frequency multiplication in the optical domain was simulated and optimized.

O trabalho apresentado nesta dissertação incidiu no estudo de técnicas de geração e distribuição de sinais rádio sobre fibra (RoF). Numa primeira fase estudaram-se os vários componentes associados ao canal óptico, para se perceber de que forma cada um deles afecta os sinais RoF que se propagam, e quais serão as principais limitações associadas. No seguimento desse estudo inicial, efectuou-se trabalho experimental, de transmissão de sinais rádio (3G) sobre um sistema óptico mono-canal, para se observar e verificar os fenómenos limitativos identificados anteriormente. Posteriormente, foi abordada a geração de sinais rádio por multiplicação de frequência no domínio óptico, com reduzido custo e complexidade, utilizando um modulador Mach-Zhender em regime não-linear, considerando diferentes formatos de modulação. As simulações efectuadas incidiram na optimização das topologias e parâmetros associados aos diferentes componentes envolvidos, em particular na emissão e recepção. Este trabalho serviu de base ao apresentado no capítulo 5, em que se simulou e optimizou um cenário de distribuição em rede óptica passiva multi-canal, de sinais OFDM, compatíveis com UWB, gerados por multiplicação de frequência no domínio óptico.
