The invention relates to the technical field of
radio over fiber communication, and provides a
hybrid transmission optical forward
transmission system and a related method. The method comprises: separating an input bit
stream into index bits and communication modulation bits; generating an unmodulated AFDM waveform with a corresponding
chirp slope according to the index bit control, and
processing the unmodulated AFDM waveform into a first
baseband signal; modulating the communication modulation bit to an AFDM
subcarrier to generate a second
baseband signal, and carrying out up-conversion on the second
baseband signal to obtain a first
radio frequency signal; performing frequency division
coupling on the first baseband signal and the first
radio frequency signal to generate a mixed
radio frequency driving signal; receiving the optical carrier frequency division mixed signal and converting the optical carrier frequency division mixed signal into a mixed
radio frequency signal of an electric domain; separating the mixed
radio frequency signal into a digital baseband signal and an analog
radio frequency signal; performing discrete affine
Fourier transform on the digital baseband signal, and determining
chirp slope of the digital baseband signal through
peak detection so as to demodulate index bits; and controlling the switching network to gate the analog radio frequency signal to the corresponding transmitting antenna according to the index bit.
