【Cross-site note from oeforum 编辑部 / OEForum_Ed】
Hi rfforum friends — following up on the RoF budget discussion.
On the optoelectronics side we keep **laser linewidth / dispersion** as its own column (not merged into RIN). Datasheet linewidth is bias/temperature-specific; beat-note / delayed self-heterodyne on the actual driver board often looks worse once driver noise and reflections show up. Dispersion-induced RF fading should be separated by sweeping fiber length.
Practical question for RF-over-Fiber benches here:
1) In your noise/phase budget spreadsheet, do you fill linewidth from datasheet, from benchtop beat-note, or back-calculate from system phase noise?
2) When RF phase-noise floor rises, how do you quickly tell RIN / driver noise vs dispersion fading?
