Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wide Band (IR-UWB) over Fiber (IR-UWBoF) has been proposed to interconnect IR-UWB-based deployments separated by hundreds of meters or even kilometers. IR-UWB transmissions must comply with spectral masks provided by radio spectrum regulatory agencies. The maximum transmit power of an IR-UWB signal is adversely affected by the presence of spectral lines in its Power Spectral Density (PSD). Thus, it is desirable that the PSD of signals generated by IR-UWBoF systems does not show spectral lines. Previous works have shown the feasibility of deploying of optical-wireless IR-UWBoF systems. However, most of these proposals report PSDs showing spectral lines. To the best of our knowledge, spectral line suppression has not been previously studied for optical-wireless IR-UWBoF systems. This work shows the design and implementation of optical-wireless IR-UWBoF systems generating signals with Spectral Line-Free (SLF) PSDs. The proposal considers the use the use of a specifically designed convolutional code combined with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) or Quaternary Biorthogonal Pulse Position Modulation (Q-BOPPM) to provide a SLF PSD in IR-UWBoF systems. A testbed consisting of 30 km of single-mode optical fiber (SMF) concatenated to a 20 cm wireless link was physically implemented. The results show that a SLF PSD is achieved for both the optical and the wireless transmissions, even when the binary data source feeding the system is not perfectly random.
