Abstract:
1. A single wavelength fiber-optic communication system that mixes an Ethernet signal with a radio frequency signal, the system comprising: an Ethernet signal module ( 1 ) for providing an Ethernet signal; a radio frequency signal module ( 21 ) for providing a radio frequency signal; a mixer module ( 2 ) for providing an optical mixed signal by means of mixing the Ethernet signal with the radio signal at a single wavelength; and a receiver module ( 4 ) for transforming the optical mixed signal into both the radio frequency signal and a digital signal that contains the Ethernet signal, wherein the receiver module ( wherein the optic-to-electric receiver ( wherein the Ethernet signal module ( wherein the mixer module ( wherein both the Ethernet signal in the optical form and the radio frequency signal are directly modulated by the Mach-Zehnder electric-to-optic modulator (
