Abstract
This article compares the performance of standard single mode fiber (SMF) with 62.5/125 ΞΌm multimode fiber (MMF) for radioβoverβfiber links using 850 nm multimode vertical cavity surface emitting lasers. The results show SMF links suffer from a coupling loss of 15.3 dB which is compensated by the low loss of SMF compared to MMF in the 2.4β5 GHz radio band. Standard SMF is not single moded at 850 nm and mode filters are employed to obtain a smooth modulation response. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this article the problem of realizing and implementing multi-gigabit posta!etection filters is addressed. The realization strategy is based upon taking the time-domain specification of the recewed pulse shape and realizing a filter matched to it. The received pulse shape was obtained by modeling
