Theoretical and experimental radio over fiber (RoF) system performance is studied in the presence of fiber dispersion and directly modulated DFB laser chirp. The measurements determine the distortion terms of the links with G‐652 fibers. Agreement with the computed values validates the model, used presently in RoF link design for wireless‐signal distribution. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
