Recent work on radio over multimode fiber transmission, for the support of wireless LANs and current cellular systems operating at below 6 GHz, has shown that excellent performance (e.g. spur-free dynamic range well in excess of 100 dB.Hz2/3) can be achieved. However, here it is shown that for multi-system operation, spurious emissions may be more of a restriction than meeting good signal quality requirements (such as low error vector magnitude). Initial results are reported for error vector
