Abstract
Searching for solutions to cope with the increasing demand of bandwidth in communications networks, the approach of sending Radio Frequency (RF) signals through optical fiber has raised as a potential solution to this issue. Such architecture is known as radio over fiber system (RoF). In order to enhance these kinds of systems, it is necessary to improve the optical reception to efficiently detect both signals (baseband and RF). This paper presents the summarized results of the comparative study of three optical filtering schemes: Fabry-Perot filter, Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) and Sagnac interferometer through the analysis of the Bit Error Rate (BER) obtained by simulations.
