Radio over Fiber

Radio over Fiber

Radio over Fiber (ROF) is a technology where light is modulated in radio frequency (RF) and transmitted over optical fiber to facilitate wireless access. Although RF transmission over fiber is used for multiple purposes, such as in cable television (CATV) networks and in satellite base stations, the term ROF is usually applied when this is done for wireless access.
