Abstract

A comparison between the RF-over-fiber and the RF-over-coax technologies is presented. It is shown that while in relatively short delay lines the coax technology will do, for delay lines longer than a certain distance the fiber technology has a clear advantages: Beyond several microseconds it is better in terms of volume, Noise Figure and cost.
