Abstract
A single wavelength fiber-optic communication system that mixes an Ethernet signal with a radio frequency signal is disclosed. The system includes an Ethernet signal module, a radio frequency signal module, a mixer module and a receiver module. The Ethernet signal module provides an Ethernet signal. The radio frequency signal module provides a radio frequency signal. The mixer module provides an optical mixed signal by means of mixing the Ethernet signal with the radio signal at a single wavelength. The receiver module transforms the optical mixed signal into the radio frequency signal and a digital signal that contains the Ethernet signal.
