Radio over Free Space Optics (RoFSO) and Radio over Fiber (RoF) are recent technologies in optical communication systems. Both these technologies require some form of external optical modulator in the transmitter side. The commonly used optical modulators are Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and Electro...
