Análisis y simulación de un enlace de radio sobre fibra óptica (ROF) a 60GHZ.

Abstract

Radio over fiber links is important for large integrated high-performance networks. They are called integrated networks because what they look for is the convergence of wired networks with wireless networks. RoF technology is seen as the most promising solution to meet the demand for new multimedia services ensuring optimal quality, combining the capacity of optical networks with the scalability and mobility of wireless networks which reduces the cost of access networks. RoF networks will allow high transmission rates combined with high bandwidth to achieve high scalability and the ability to change the radius of coverage according to user needs, these are just some of the advantages of these systems. The project "Analysis and simulation of a radio over fiber link (RoF) at 60 GHz" is a research project that has as main objective to characterize a radio transmission over optical fiber at 60 GHz in both mathematical computing software Matlab as OptSim specialized software, which is a design environment, simulation and performance evaluation of optical communication systems. To meet this objective was first made a study of the state of the art of RoF systems, followed by the study of the techniques and models used to simulate the RoF links, later two mathematical models were implemented on simulators to evaluate the performance presented by these communication systems and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. At the end of this research is pretend to have a simulation model of radio links over optical fiber that will not only serve to teach this subject in the curriculum of students of electrical engineering career, but also a point basis for future research in this field.
