HFTA-04.0: Optical/Electrical Conversion in SDH/SONET Fiber Optic Systems This article explains the basic functions and design challenges of the optical to electrical and electrical to optical signal conversion in SDH/SONET fiber optic receivers and transmitters. A complete chip set solution to develop the electronic part of OC 12/STM 4 receivers and transmitters is presented.
The advent of cheaper and more powerful personal computers has not only expanded the user base; it is also creating a demand for greater transmission capacity among the telecom networks by adding an increasing volume of internet and videophone connections to the traditional phone and fax services.
