Abstract (EN): In this paper, we study the performance of OFDM signals in frequency-interleaved WDM radio-over-fiber (RoF) links with optical channel selection made by a uniform Fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The frequency-interleaved signals, transported over 10 km of standard single mode fiber, were transmitted in optical double-sideband (ODSB) format and filtered in optical single-sideband (OSSB) format. The simulations were being performed using the software VPI and the system performance was evaluated in terms of Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). The EVM is kept below 10% in the 100 and 400 Mbits/s for some optical power values and the system performance is limited by the dispersion in the FBG and nonlinearities in the optical modulator.
