Digitalized Radio over Fiber Network-Based Sigma Delta Modulation

ABSTRACT

Digital Radio over Fiber (DRoF) technologies end up being the most often used option for the backbone of Wide Area Networks (WAN). The main goal of this paper is to evaluate a DRoF scheme called Sigma Delta Radio over Fiber (SDRoF). Studies have been done on the suggested system performance metrics, such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). According to the simulation findings, the suggested model can handle 6.144 Gbps data transfer up to 300 km with zero BER and an EVM of about 4.153%. The proposed system model was found to be superior to the most recent peer-reviewed papers.

KEYWORDS:

• Sigma Delta Radio over Fiber
• error vector magnitude
