Abstract — The radio-over-fiber (RoF) system is one of the potential schemes for the future broadband wireless communication
systems such as mobile communications, hotspots and suburban areas. In this paper, we present 16 channels of RF carrier
modulation of the Sub Carrier Multiplexing (SCM), which then integrated, with Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) for the
Radio over Fibre Link. The integration of the two systems is responding to the demands for high data rate applications and
reasonable mobility for broadband communication. The work also investigates the performance of EDFA for the optical fiber
length up to 100 km. The EDFA introduced as the optical amplifier in the designed system model to encounter the effects of
attenuation, distortion and Rayleigh scattering. The deploying of RF carrier performs by double side band and single side band of
the SCM for bandwidth utilization shown to be much better than conventional optical WDM. However, by applying EDFA with the
length varies from 0m – 5m, the performance show that total power transmission has magnifying the optical signal significantly.
The simulation result has shown that pre-amplifier EDFA in 100km of SCM/WDM RoF system significantly boost the
performance of optical signal strength over the link. The power received increased up to an extent of 50%. The Q-Factor and BER
significantly increased.
