Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyze, at the simulation level, the effect of the M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM) technique, in the downlink, for a converged Radio over Fiber (RoF) network infrastructure, implementing the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique and the Passive Optical Network architecture, with 10 Gbps capacity (XG-PON). The evaluation of the effect of the M-QAM modulation technique was done through a pre-established simulation methodology and using the optsim software for the network model and tests. In the results of the research, the increase of the order of M-QAM modulation for a converged OFDM-RoF network infrastructure allows to represent more bits per symbol, however, it requires a higher transmission power. The conclusion derives in the possibility of developing a robust converged OFDM-RoF network infrastructure of XG-PON type, implementing the M-QAM technique, since it efficiently uses the available bandwidth.
