Passive-Compensation-Based Stable RF Phase Dissemination for Multiaccess Trunk Fiber Link With Anti-GVD and Anti-Backscattering Function by Yajie Cui, Tianwei Jiang, Song Yu, Ruihuan Wu, Wanyi Gu

“…After converting the frequency of the precompensated signal to the same frequency as the backward probe signal, the phase drifts can be eliminated automatically by frequency mixing at an arbitrary receiving node. Signals with different radio frequencies at the same wavelength are employed in the forward and backward transmissions to efficiently suppress the effect of the GVD and Rayleigh backscattering at the same time. …”
