This module is devoted to the technology underlying optical fibre communication systems. It covers the fundamental properties of optical fibres and key components, and the principles of operation of systems including WDM based high capacity transport networks. The network architecture designs and performance metrics are examined. Modern topics are introduced such as advanced modulation formats, coherent communications, spectrum efficiency and Shannon limit capacity.
To develop further methods of representing and analyzing signals and dynamic systems, to extend these concepts to sampled-data systems, to introduce concepts in digital signal processing and to use computer-aided methods for modelling and analysis.
This module presents the fundamentals of optics and elements of modern optical networks. Basics of installation, testing and maintenance fibre optic networks will be covered. Best practices from field are presented.
