This paper presents a remote beamforming scheme with fixed wavelength allocation for radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems employing single-mode fiber (SMF). In the proposed scheme, wavelengths with equal narrow spacing are fixedly assigned to each antenna element to equalize the time delay differences bet...
