EFFECT OF DYNAMIC STIMULATED BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING ON MILLIMETER-WAVE FIBER RADIO-COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

The effect of dynamic stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) on millime ter-wave fiber radio communication systems has been studied and compar ed with results by steady-state analysis (SSA). More information is pr ovided by the dynamic SBS analysis as the probability density function s (pdf's) of both SBS power and received signal can be calculated appr oximately. The worst-case power by SSA overestimates the effect of SBS greatly while the average power by SSA underestimates it. The dynamic SBS analysis, therefore, should be used for estimating the effect of SBS on millimeter-wa ve fiber radio communication systems, especially for low bit rate and short length ones.
