Driven by the demand of low-cost base stations deployment and enhanced micro-cellular coverage and capacity, Radio-over-fiber (RoF) has attracted much research attention as a convenient way to distribute RF signals to base stations and to subscribers. In RoF systems, a highly-linear optical transmitter is necessary to achieve the required signal dynamic range. Fully-integrated design techniques are required to address linearity improvements for RoF transceivers. Nonlinearities in wireless communications are responsible for a phenomena that degrades systems performance and must be minimized. A...
