An Overview of Radio over Fiber (RoF) Technology

The technology where a Radio Frequency (RF) signal is transmitted through a fiber optic network after the light signal is modulated by RF signal is known as Radio over Fiber or RoF. RoF can utilize a large bandwidth so it can support more users compared to regular wireless technology. The RoF technology is an integration of RF signal and fiber optic link, so with the help of this we can send our wireless signal in outdoor ranges. RoF is a promising cost effective and exceedingly flexible way to solve, high and rapidly increasing consumer and commercial demand for more communication capacity and internet services which needs bandwidth.
