This study proposes a broadband RF optical transceiver applied to Radio over Fiber (RoF) system
which has low noise
wide band and high linearity. The structures of transmitter module and receiver module are reported respectively
including the RF amplifying circuit
the laser driving circuit and the power management module. The electrical signal reflection loss S11 of the module is controlled below -10 dB in the DC-10 GHz bandwidth
the gain is kept about 9 dB in DC-8 GHz bandwidth
the OIP3 can reach more than 28 dBm
and the clear constellation diagram of the photoelectric system is obtained. As the key part of RoF system
RF optical transceiver has broad application prospects.
