This guide presents standard fibre optic design practices that can be used to develop telecommunications networks today and in the future. Coverage of the topic ranges from the presentation of basic performance relationships associated with fibre technology to the methodology for transmission systems design, regardless of the currency of the component design. Presenting a design methodology that was developed with the communication systems engineer in mind, the book begins with a general overview of the technology and basic methodology used to design fibre into networks. It then discusses the application of the technology and the standards required and familiarizes readers with fibre optic components and their key performance parameters. It also deals with the signal-to-noise theory and relationships pertinent to the fibre optic system and explores signal modulation, encoding and multiplexing.
