Abstract

The work reported deals with the demonstration of the use of high modal bandwidth OM4 multimode fibre as multi-purpose transmission media for short-range indoor or outdoor applications taking advantage of the wavelength division multiplexing concept. Simultaneous transmission of a digital 10GbE signal and a radio-frequency multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wide band (band group 5) signal at 480 Mbits has been successfully achieved over 1.1 km fibre length without any error and with relative constellation error (RCE) less than 5.5% rms, respectively. Concerning the radio signal, an additional 1 m-long wireless path has also been demonstrated that led to an overall RCE value of 7.2%.
