Abstract (EN): This paper presents a study on multiband-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) signal transmission over graded-index polymer optical fiber (GI-POF). MB-OFDM UWB signals are generated using a development kit by WisAir (DV9110M). Measurements of packet error rate (PER) and minimum transmitted powers to achieve the maximum allowed PER are carried out for different wireless/optical channel lengths and optical channels using time frequency code (TFC) 5 (3.168 – 3.696 GHz). It is demonstrated that GI-POF is a viable solution for the transport of MB-OFDM UWB signals.
