Abstract

Radio over Fiber (also referred as Radio on the Fiber, Hybrid Fiber Radio and Fiber Radio Access) is a desegregated technology that merges wireless system with optical fiber for the imminent distribution of broadband services. RoF significant feature is to transmit radio frequency signals (20 Hz–300 GHz) over optical fiber to fulfill the demand of large data traffic by using the merits of optical fiber which gives large bandwidth (50 THz), less attenuation (0.2 dB/km), and low electromagnetic interference. In the present work, various issues and challenges related to RoF system architecture concerned with the efficient utilization of centralized control capability have been compared along with the current state of art of RoF system.
