In this work, a review of two Radio over Fiber strategies is presented. Both have excellent performance and even offer the possibility to extend wireless area coverage where mobile networks do not reach or the 802.11 network presents issues. Radio Frequency over Fiber (RFoF) and intermediate Frequency over Fiber (IFoF) are two transmission strategies compatible with the required new broadband services and both play a key role in the design of the next generation integrated optical–wireless networks, such as 5G and Satcom networks, including on RAU (Remote Antenna Unit) new functionalities to improve their physical dimensions, employing a microelectronic layout over nanometric technologies. 000097156 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PRE2018-083578$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/TEC2017-85867-R 000097156 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000097156 590__ $$a2.397$$b2020 000097156 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS$$b93 / 162 = 0.574$$c2020$$dQ3$$eT2 000097156 591__ $$aPHYSICS, APPLIED$$b88 / 160 = 0.55$$c2020$$dQ3$$eT2 000097156 591__ $$aENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC$$b145 / 273 = 0.531$$c2020$$dQ3$$eT2 000097156 592__ $$a0.36$$b2020 000097156 593__ $$aComputer Networks and Communications$$c2020$$dQ2 000097156 593__ $$aControl and Systems Engineering$$c2020$$dQ2 000097156 593__ $$aSignal Processing$$c2020$$dQ2 000097156 593__ $$aHardware and Architecture$$c2020$$dQ2 000097156 593__ $$aElectrical and Electronic Engineering$$c2020$$dQ2 000097156 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000097156 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2796-7022$$aRoyo, G.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000097156 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3629-0540$$aAznar, F. 000097156 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2874-6368$$aAldea, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000097156 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0182-7723$$aCelma, S.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000097156 7102_ $$15008$$2250$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
