Digital and Analog Fiber Optic Communication for CATV and FTTx Applications (Hardcover)

The digital age has driven the need to combine radio-frequency engineering experience with overall high-speed digital design, as well as the need for an overall understanding of system performance. In some advanced designs, both analog and digital disciplines have to exist and operate in the same space, and with the correct design, high performance is possible.

This book is intended to provide a step-by-step guide to all aspects and tradeoffs from theory to application for fiber-optics transceiver electronics. Presenting a thorough compendium of information in a structured way, this book enables the engineer to develop a methodical design approach, a deep understanding of specifications parameters and the reasons behind them, as well as their effects and consequences on system performance, which are essential for proper component design. Further, a fundamental understanding of RF, digital circuit design, and linear and nonlinear phenomena is important in order to achieve the desired performance levels. Becoming familiar with solid-state devices and passives used to build optical receivers and transmitters is also important so one can effectively overcome design limitations.

The book is organized into six main sections covering the following subjects:

• System Overview
• Semiconductors and Passives
• RF and Control Concepts
• Introduction to CATV MODEM and Transmitters
• Digital Transceiver Performance
• Integration and Testing

數位時代推動了將射頻工程經驗與整體高速數位設計相結合的需求，同時也需要對系統性能有整體的理解。在一些先進的設計中，模擬和數位學科必須存在並在同一空間中運作，並且通過正確的設計，可以實現高性能。

本書旨在提供一個從理論到應用的全方位指南，涵蓋光纖收發器電子學的所有方面和權衡。通過以結構化的方式呈現豐富的信息，本書使工程師能夠發展出一種有系統的設計方法，深入理解規格參數及其背後的原因，以及它們對系統性能的影響和後果，這對於正確的元件設計至關重要。此外，為了達到所需的性能水平，還需要對射頻、數位電路設計以及線性和非線性現象有基本的理解。熟悉用於構建光學接收器和發射器的固態器件和被動元件也很重要，以便有效地克服設計限制。

本書分為六個主要部分，涵蓋以下主題：
- 系統概述
- 半導體和被動元件
- 射頻和控制概念
- CATV MODEM和發射器介紹
- 數位收發器性能
- 整合和測試
