Fig. 1. Schematic architecture of the proposed RoF link based on pre-coding-assisted power detection scheme. LD, laser diode; PC, polarization controller; OCS, optical carrier suppression; Mod, modulation; SSMF, standard single mode fiber; OS, optical splitter; LO, local oscillator; PD, photodetector; BPF, bandpass filter; ADC, analog-digital converter; DSP, digital signal processing. The later experimental setup has been simplified by omitting the wireless transmission link, whilst the BPF and power detection are conducted in digital domain.
