Abstract—RoF is a transmission technique which uses fiber
instead of atmosphere to transmit broadband signal. WiMAX is a
broadband wireless access technique based on IEEE802.16 which
provides user with low-cost, mobile and wireless broadband data
services. In this paper, the features and application modes of
WiMAX System are introduced. Then, the design of RoF based
WiMAX system is given. After that, RoF’s applications in
WiMAX system are illustrated. Finally, the advantages and
prospect of RoF based WiMAX system are summrized.
