A transform domain processing based channel estimation method for OFDM radio-over-fiber systems

We experimentally demonstrate an 8 × 4.65 Gb/s OFDM RoF system with TDP-based channel estimation over 40 km fiber link and 60 GHz wireless link. Compared with TDA-based method, the overhead can be reduced and 1.8 dB improvement is obtained at BER of 3.8 × 10-3.
