Abstract

This research work provides an insight on a radio over fiber (RoF) based passive optical network (RoF-PON) utilizing two diverse electrical phase shifts with optical single sideband modulation (OSSB) by exploiting Mach Zender modulator. The influence of chromatic dispersion (CD) in PONs employing single mode fiber (SMF) is a noteworthy issue and should be limited. The two techniques of OSSB modulation, in view of the two distinct angles of the hybrid coupler are employed for the design and implementation of RoF-PON. The RF signal is partitioned into two ways equally before applying it to the dual drive Mach Zender modulator input, utilizing an electrical hybrid coupler that imparts two discrete phase shifts of 90° and 120° to generate two OSSB signals individually. By utilizing traditional OSSB technique having 90° phase shift, either of the first-order sideband (lower or upper first order) suppression occurs yet second-order harmonics are still existent in the system. As opposed to this, the OSSB technique using 120° phase shift causes the suppression of either lower first order and higher second order sideband or vice versa. When contrasted to the PON based on traditional technique (90° phase shift technique), the suppression of second order sideband in PON using 120° technique lessens the system CD. Hence the PON based on 120° phase shift technique has enhanced functionality in terms of system BER, received power and power losses as compared to that with traditional OSSB technique.
