Radio over Fiber system applied to IEEE 802.15.4 standard

We have experimentally applied the Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology to a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrate a successful implementation of a RoF technology operating at 2.4 GHz band over at least 160 km of a geographically-distributed optical network.
