<p>This paper presents a study of a 32×10 Gbps Radio over Fiber and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (RoF-WDM) full-duplex system that uses Phase Modulators and a Dual-Port Mach-Zehnder Modulator (PMs-DPMZM) for bidirectional data transfer. The system employs Millimeter-Wave (MMW) signaling over optical fiber and focuses on selecting a technology that provides high transmission capacity per wavelength, improved spectral efficiency, and resistance against optical transmission impairments. The proposed method was validated using simulation results to confirm the efficiency of the proposed system in generating a 40 GHz signal and efficiently detecting and modulating the RF signals. The results demonstrate that the system exhibits strong resistance against dispersion, non-linear effects, and noise, delivering satisfactory performance for distances of up to 220 km. By analyzing the input power, the paper establishes a relationship between input power and signal quality, revealing that an optimal power of 0 dBm leads to an improved Quality Factor (QF) and reduced transmission errors. Furthermore, the evaluation of received optical power indicates the power level required to maintain an acceptable error rate, approximately -20.9690 dBm for downstream data transfer and -20.7245 dBm for upstream data transfer at the BER limit. The simulation performance also demonstrates the transmission efficiency achieved through a high Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) coefficient of up to 0.8. The analytical calculations conducted in this work provide valuable insights for optimizing and enhancing the performance of RoF-WDM networks.</p>
