Radio over Fiber is an integration of microwave and optical fiber technologies
having numerous benefits. RoF technology can give a scope of advantages including
the capacity for backing multiple radio services and standards. In
coming future, there is need of integrated wireless service with high speed satellite
broadband and multifunctional indoor/outdoor antennas. Radio over
fiber is one of the most favorite candidates to meet all these requirements of
future multifunctional integrated wireless communication. Due to planer profile,
small size and low cost patch antennas are most favorite to use for multi-
frequency applications. In this paper, we present system level design for future
multifunctional radio over fiber network. Under FTTH (Fiber To The
Home) technology, it will be possible to use multi-frequency applications on
single fiber medium. Firstly, we designed S band circular patch antenna (2.5
GHz) and Ka band (29 GHz) horn antenna. Circular patch antenna performance
is estimated with different substrate height. After getting S parameters
and far-field results, we did modeling of Radio over Fiber system over (10
Km) with same parameters from antenna results.
