ABSTRACT: Performance of WDM ethernet passive optical network
(EPON) with radio over fiber (RoF) optical link has been analyzed
with the use of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and fiber bragg grating
(FBG) to compensate the dispersion and four wave mixing. With the use of DCF
and FBG, performance of the system is improved by 77.67%. Results are compared
with and without DCF + FBG for different optical power and fiber length. The
BER, Q factor and eye diagrams have been obtained for evaluating the
performance of the system.
