Transmission analysis of digital TV signals over a radio-on-FSO channel

Recently, Radio frequency on free-space optical (RoFSO) technology is regarded as a new universal platform for enabling seamless convergence of fiber and FSO communication networks, thus extending broadband connectivity to underserved areas. In this paper, an experimental demonstration of the newly developed advanced RoFSO system capable of transmitting the Japanese integrated services digital broadcasting-terrestrial (ISDB-T) signals over 1km FSO link. Our innovative system combines a new generation full optical FSO system with radio over fiber (RoF) technology. The obtained results can be used for designing, predicting and evaluating the RoFSO system capable of transmitting multiple wireless services over turbulent FSO link.
