Digital Optical RF Transport: Indoor Wireless Applications
Overview For indoor wireless applications, current methods of RF extension, such as twisted pair, coax and microwave are less than optimal. Signals sent over twisted pair can only travel short distances and are often of poor quality, carrying added noise with the signal. While coaxial cable can be used for short distances, there is a high degree of loss due to attenuation. The use of fiber cable offers a better solution for extending RF signals. But all analog systems lose dynamic range each time the signal is split or combined. Indoor coverage solutions have been developed which digitally transport RF signals over fiber. Through this technology, signals are replicated at full dynamic range, regardless of the fiber length or number of splits. This method of transport offers even more versatility to maximize indoor wireless system capacity and helps prepare networks for the next generation of high data services.
