Abstract:
An aspect of the disclosure provides a system for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal from a source to a destination. Such a system includes an RF signal source configured to produce an RF signal at a transmission frequency. The system further includes an optical transmission path for optically transmitting the RF signal towards the destination. The system also includes a feedback path for transmitting a feedback signal received proximate the destination towards the RF signal source. The feedback path includes a frequency shifter for shifting the frequency of the feedback signal to a feedback frequency different than the transmission frequency.

Claim (Index 3):
A system for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal from a source to a destination comprising:\n an RF signal source configured to produce an RF signal at a transmission frequency; an optical transmission path for optically transmitting the RF signal towards the destination; and a feedback path for transmitting a feedback signal received proximate the destination towards the RF signal source, the feedback path comprising:\n a frequency shifter for shifting the frequency of the feedback signal to a feedback frequency different than the transmission frequency; \n wherein the optical transmission path converts the RF signal into an optical RF signal which is transmitted via an optical waveguide towards the destination and converted to an electrical RF signal at the transmission frequency proximate to the destination; wherein the feedback path further comprises:\n an RF tap for forwarding a portion of the electrical RF signal to the frequency shifter which produces a feedback electrical RF signal, and \n a feedback optical transmission path for converting the feedback electrical RF signal into a feedback optical signal at the feedback frequency which is transmitted towards the RF signal source; \n wherein the frequency shifter is configured such that the feedback frequency is within a feedback frequency range which is less susceptible to impairments introduced during optical transmission than the transmission frequency.
