Low-Cost Radio-over-Fiber Network for 2.45GHz In-Building Signal Distribution

A cost effective in-building signal distribution network is proposed. IEEE 802.11g WLAN system is used to illustrate the range extension a multimode Radio-over-Fiber network can provide. The ROF network allows simplified remote distribution units while the base stations are kept in a central office for ease of maintenance and upgrades
