摘要

This chapter presents the design and simulation of photonic RF transceivers for RoF systems, a key enabler of next-generation wireless communication networks such as 5G, 6G, and beyond which can transmit and receive RF signals remotely from the CO. Exploiting the benefits of photonic integration technologies, these transceivers offer significant advantages in terms of bandwidth scalability, tunability, latency reduction, and centralized control. The chapter elaborates on a photonics-enabled fiber-wireless (Fi-Wi) network architecture that links centralized baseband units to distributed RAUs via optical fiber. Practical simulation setups and performance evaluations are demonstrated using OptiSystem®, highlighting the benefits of optical modulation and photonic transceiver integration for efficient MMW signal generation, distribution, and reception.
