Abstract

Advanced cellular networks need high capacity and low latency in fronthaul that can be supported by radio over fiber (RoF) with millimeter waves. However, dispersion is one problem in maintaining transmission quality. This research studies EDFA and FBG components to increase transmission performance in a millimeter wave-RoF system using Optisystem for 5G fronthaul by considering the Q factor and the Bit Error Rate (BER). EDFA improves performance with a 16 Gbps peak bit rate for 1 km, which meets D-RAN fronthaul standards. Improvement increase using FBG for a bit rate of 16 Gbps provided better performances starting from a distance of 4 km, up to 97.99 percent, compared to configurations without FBG. It shows that the dispersion influences the system performance more than the attenuation seen from the BER discrepancy average of 6.6280e-04 when the FBG is added with EDFA. This research indicates two techniques have improved the system's performance.
