Nonlinear effects in optical-wireless OFDM signal transmission

This paper is concerned with the analysis of nonlinear effects in fiber-radio systems and wireless local area networks. Using the OFDM technique, the crucial parameters of the transmission are the nonlinearities and the phase-noise of microwave and optical oscillators. A summary of the distorting effects and possible solutions are also presented.
