Origin of link gain fluctuations in analog radio over single-mode fiber systems
Abstract
In analog Radio over Fiber systems based on single mode fibers, the possible presence of unexpected fluctuating behaviors of the received radiofrequency signal in front of monotonic environmental temperature variations, is analyzed experimentally and simulated theoretically. The possibility to understand all the aspects of this behavior allows to keep it in the right account, particularly when these systems have to be realized with stringent requirements in terms of cost and performance.
