An integrated transmission quality perception method for radio over fiber link based on matched filtering

Delay jitter and dispersion are two important factors that impact the quality of radio over fiber transmission. In this paper, a simultaneous perception method for these two factors based on matched filtering is proposed. The proposed method effectively combines the precision of RF matched filtering process with the broadband advantages of microwave photonics technology, which can enable an accurate perception of both. The effectiveness of the proposed perception method is verified through experiments.
