	<span lang=\"EN-US\">The combination of radio over fiber (RoF) and orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques has resulted in a
high-data-rate at lower cost in the last mile of wireless networks. This paper
investigates the use of the OFDM as a modulation technique for radio over fiber
(RoF) in passive optical network (PON). A laser source of 1550 nm wavelength
was used with <st1:chmetcnv unitname=\"km\" sourcevalue=\"100\" hasspace=\"True\" negative=\"False\" numbertype=\"1\" tcsc=\"0\" w:st=\"on\">100 km</st1:chmetcnv>, <st1:chmetcnv unitname=\"km\" sourcevalue=\"140\" hasspace=\"True\" negative=\"False\" numbertype=\"1\" tcsc=\"0\" w:st=\"on\">140 km</st1:chmetcnv>
and <st1:chmetcnv unitname=\"km\" sourcevalue=\"288\" hasspace=\"True\" negative=\"False\" numbertype=\"1\" tcsc=\"0\" w:st=\"on\">288 km</st1:chmetcnv> single
mode fiber. In the OFDM-PON a passive optical splitter of ratio 1:2 is used to
connect two optical network units (ONUs). A 10 Gbits/sec transmission bit rate
is used to simulate the RoF-OFDM-PON system. The proposed system can provide a
flexible, cost effective and significant high data rate.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <o:p></o:p></span>
