A converged passive optical network architecture supporting standard WiMAX OFDM 
transceivers for transmission to and from remote ONU/BSs has been reported using 
VPI/MATLAB modelling. Significantly, transparent communication of five WiMAX FDM 
subcarriers is performed featuring external versus direct modulation evaluation measurements 
to estimate the maximum number of subcarriers to be supported in a FDM window.
