Communication system using optical fibers
A divider/combiner unit combines RF signals, then converts the combined signal into an optical signal and sends it over an optical fiber. N radio access units each convert the optical signal received from the optical fiber into an RF signal and transmits it from an antenna, and each radio access unit converts an RF signal received by the antenna into an optical signal and sends it over an optical fiber to the divider/combiner unit. The divider/combiner unit converts the received optical signal into RF signals and outputs them. This system is operated as plurality of communication systems in common to them in correspondence to a plurality of input/output terminals of the divider/combiner unit.
