Nowadays, the RoF technology can utilize to converge the broadcasting and the broadband wireless communications,
because of their huge bandwidth, and protocol transparency. Transmitting RF signals are deteriorated by the nonlinearity
of the RoF link and following RF amplifier. This paper provides analysis method of intermodulation distortion and peak
factor of multicarrier RF signals including IEEE802.11g, ISDB-T and IEEE802.16e-2005 over intensity modulation /
direct detection (IM/DD) RoF link. Experimental evaluation is also presented in terms of the error vector magnitude
(EVM).

As a new application of Radio-on-Fiber, digital divide solution by utilizing CATV network is proposed. We have been
discussed and demonstrated realization and effectively of proposed system by in-door experiment so far, however field
trial is very important for the practical use. Now, the radiation examination is done as an experiment bureau in the
mountainous area in Nara Prefecture aiming evaluating by the real operation, evaluating the correspondence with the link
design theory, and clarifying effectiveness in a real environment of the proposal system. In this paper, the result of the
field trial of the proposal and the SCM transmission is discussed and demonstrated.

Digital broadcasting service and variety of communication services, 4th generation mobile, broadband wireless-LAN etc. are developed recently. Broadband wireless service over fiber technologies may play an essential role for emerging integrated services of broadcasting and communications in the area of entrance network. Low-distortion transmission of broadband radio signals are developed as a collaborative work of Osaka University, Advanced Telecommunication research Institute (ATR) and Osaka Institute of Technology supported by Strategic Information and Communication R&D Promotion Program (SCOPE) of Government.
In optical communication links between GEO satellites, all optical beam control functions required for the transceiver may be realized without using external gimbals. Configuration of such a transceiver internal optical system can be designed considering the satellite dynamics in orbit. This paper presents a design of the transceiver internal optical systems, taking into account the accuracy of satellite station-keeping and attitude control as well as an orbital separation. An experimental optics was constructed on the basis of the results for a bidirectional link between satellites separated by about 60 deg in orbit. The attitude control accuracy of + or - 0.1 deg and the satellite station-keeping of + or - 0.1 deg were assumed. It can be utilized to develop a variety of beam-controlling schemes.

The configuration and specifications of an optical IM/DD modulator/demodulator (modem) developed for optical intersatellite communications are described. The modem's performance was verified for the case of a commercially available high-power laser diode (LD). It was found that the modulator could modulate the high-power LD whose average output was 100 mW, at the bit rate of 360 Mbit/sec. Less than 1.0 dB degradation was measured to obtain the bit error rate of 10 to the -6th at this bit rate.
The required output power of a laser source and suppression of antenna sidelobe level are discussed for an optically controlled array antenna in which microwave amplitude and phase distributions are generated and controlled using optical Fourier transform and heterodyne/homodyne detection. A heterodyne detection model using two laser diodes, the frequency difference of which is set to desired microwave frequency, is compared with an original homodyne detection model, using an external frequency modulator. The heterodyne detection model may be favorable from the viewpoint of available laser diode output power. For example, the required laser output power in the heterodyne detection model can be about 10-15 dB less than that in the homodyne detection model in order to obtain the same C/N0 value of microwave signal. It is also shown that the antenna sidelobe level can be suppressed by about 20 dB without changing beamwidth by using a reference beam with a tapered distribution.
