Abstract: Dense wavelength division multiplexing is used in various broadband communications. It combines information from distinct sources on an optical fiber, each signal being transmitted simultaneously on its own distinct light wavelength. Radio over fibre is a hybrid system that has both fibre optic link and free space radio path. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of the system using Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier, Single Mode Fibre and Dispersion compensating Fibre. Single beam of light is passed by the SMF and is used for long distance signal transmission. DCF is used to reduce the dispersion in the optical signal. EDFA reduces the degradation of the signal by cancelling the effect of attenuation. It is an optical repeater used to raise the intensity of the optical signal. Mach – Zehnder modulator is used for the modulation. The simulation is carried out by using optisystem software version 15.0. Various parameters like Q-factor, BER pattern, threshold, minimum BER are compared and estimated.
