This paper describes the outline of recent standardization activities for Radio on Fiber (RoF) transmitter by IEC TC103/WG5. RoF transmitter consists of optical fibers, electrical to optical (E/O) converter, and optical to electrical (O/E) converter. IEC TC103/WG5 is working on standardization on measurement method of E/O and O/E devices, and technical specification of RoF transmitter. This paper overviews those standardization activities which are being developed by TC103/WG5 as well as the National Committee of WG5.
