This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a 16-channel Wavelength Division Multiplexed Radio-over-Fibre (WDM-RoF) system for long-haul 5G communication networks. The proposed architecture integrates Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) and an Optical Phase Conjugator (OPC) to enhance signal quality. The FBGs provide precise wavelength filtering and dispersion management, while the OPC effectively compensates nonlinear distortions, improving spectral efficiency and transmission reach. The system is designed to operate at a carrier frequency of 50 GHz with a data rate of 10 Gbps per channel and a channel spacing of 0.5 nm, achieving reliable transmission over 340 km of standard single-mode fiber. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed 16-channel WDM-RoF model exhibits superior performance compared to conventional configurations, offering enhanced signal integrity, reduced dispersion effects, and improved scalability for high-capacity long-haul communication.
