title: Direct CATV modulation and phase remodulated radio-over-fiber transport system.
abstract: A novel transport system, with directly modulating community antenna television (CATV) signal downstream and phase-remodulating radio-over-fiber (ROF) signal upstream, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By modulating multi-carriers CATV signal in amplitude domain and ROF signal in phase domain, a single optical wavelength is able to serve these two applications simultaneous. To be the first system of communicating CATV signal downstream and phase remodulating radio signal upstream, the performances of transmitting CATV and radio signals over 20 km single-mode fiber (SMF) were experimentally verified. Good performances of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), composite second-order (CSO), and composite triple beat (CTB) were obtained for CATV applications as well as high extinction ration (ER) and low bit error rate (BER) values were measured for ROF transmission.
