Radio over fiber for mobile communications

Radio over fiber is becoming an increasingly important technology for the in-building wireless market. The dynamic range requirements and optimum choice of laser are identified for this application. Furthermore, a novel architecture based on switched radio over fiber is proposed, which gives important benefits in terms of design, installation and operation of the systems used.
