Abstract

In this work, an alternative technology to extend wireless coverage beyond the conventional methods of providing radio propagation coverage is presented. The use of a radiating cable is proposed for difficult-to-reach areas. In this regard, an indoor radiating cable is successfully employed for the distribution of an analog electric signal in a fiber-radio scheme using a microwave photonic filter. A filtered microwave band-pass window located at 2.24 GHz is used as an electrical carrier to transmit an analog TV-signal of 67.25 MHz over an optical link of 25.28 km. Measurements are carried out in an indoor environment. Experimental results demonstrate that the recovered signal is of good quality in each measurement location, exhibiting on average a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of around 31.60 dB.

Keywords: indoor propagation; microwave photonic filter; microwave signal; radiating cable
