“Real world” FTTH optical-to-radio interface performance for bi-directional multi-format OFDM wireless signal transmission

The optical-to-radio and radio-to-optical interfaces in fiber-to-the-home access networks were evaluated for LTE, WiMAX and UWB simultaneous distribution. Successful bidirectional transmission was achieved after 20.2 km standard single mode fiber and 3 m radio propagation.
