Abstract
A radio frequency over glass (RFoG) system may be modified to extend a downstream band. A transimpedance amplifier with a downstream path may be used in the RFoG system in combination with an upstream path having greater than 200 MHz radio frequency (RF) bandwidth to provide the greater than 1.2 GHz downstream bandwidth overlapping with the greater than 200 MHz upstream bandwidth. The RFoG system may include a gateway facilitating an optical network unit and modem connection, the gateway having an express upstream port and an express downstream radio frequency (RF) port. The gateway may be configured for processing legacy RFoG signals in an upstream and a downstream direction and for at least one of generating or processing, via the express ports on the modem, RFoG signals in an extended spectrum beyond 42 MHz in the upstream direction and beyond 1000 MHz in the downstream direction.
