Abstract

The transmission performance of single sideband (SSB) radio over fiber (RoF) system is evaluated through tuning the modulation index of Mach-Zehnder modulator, two different data modulation schemes and the influence of fiber dispersion are considered. The quantitative simulation results validate that there exist an optimum modulation index, and the system performance could be improved if the data signal is modulated on only optical carrier or sidebands.
