title: Microbending dependence of phase in single-mode fibers.
abstract: The dependence of the radio-frequency phase shift on microbending loss for single-mode fibers has been investigated theoretically. Using representative source and fiber cable parameter values, the frequency stability of a prototype fiber link is found to be about 10(-16) for an averaging time of 10(3) sec.
