COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completing this Fiber Optic Communications Systems Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:
- What are the basic elements in analog and digital fiber optic communication systems including fiber-optic components and basic coding schemes?
- How fiber properties such as loss, dispersion, and non-linearity impact system performance.
- How systems are compensated for loss, dispersion, and non-linearity.
- How a fiber-optic amplifier works and its impact on system performance.
- How to maximize fiber bandwidth through wavelength division multiplexing.
- How is the fiber-optic link budget calculated?
- What are the typical characteristics of real fiber-optic systems including CATV, gigabit Ethernet, POF data links, RF-antenna remoting systems, and long-haul telecommunication links?
- How to perform cost analysis and system design? From this course, you will obtain the knowledge needed to perform basic fiber-optic communication systems engineering calculations, identify system tradeoffs, and apply this knowledge to modern fiber-optic systems. This will enable you to evaluate real systems, communicate effectively with colleagues, and understand the most recent literature in the field of fiber-optic communications.
