Milimeter wave carrier generation using stimulated brillouin scattering in optical fiber

Radio Over fiber (RoF) applies the concept when radio signals are transmitted over optical fiber from central station (CS) to several remote base stations (BS). These such system are applied in a number of applications such as in Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to increase the coverage area of RF s...
