ABSTRACT - Fiber based wireless access systems support high-speed multimedia in real-time by
combining the capacity of optical fiber with the flexibility of wireless networks. For example, single sub-
carrier multiplexed radio-over-fiber (ROF) link can support wireless LAN, cellular radio, and CATV
simultaneously. We investigate various issues in this scenario in order to provide a cost-effective, high
performance solution for high-speed fiber based wireless access. We devised a system identification
technique for a concatenated fiber-wireless channel (for single and multiuser), and have proposed various
compensation schemes to equalize the time varying linear plus static nonlinear channel. We have also done
various experimental studies on the performance of an ROF link.
