In this article, we discuss the role that Chromatic Dispersion (CD) plays when simulating the optical and latency performance of fiber spans during RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) testing procedures, along with introducing valuable strategies for effectively mitigating its detrimental impacts.

Radio Frequency over Fiber (RFoF) is a critical component in industries such as aerospace, radar, broadcasting, satellite and GPS communications, along with weight-sensitive environments such as the space or undersea industries. With RF over fiber, radio communication is consistent and reliable.

Wireless technology and fiber optic communications have revolutionized everyday life. In her article, Radio Meets Fiber Optics: RF Over Fiber, Marie Christiano states that “using radio frequency (RF) signals, wireless has given us military radar, avionics, cellular and satellite communications; our world is safer and more interesting thanks to all the benefits provided by wireless breakthroughs. We no longer need to be ‘homebased’ for an expected call or to catch a podcast; our banking, fitness routines, transportation, communications and home security can all be scheduled and controlled from our mobiles.”
