Design of Optical Access Systems using Computer Modeling

Abstract


We present numerical techniques that allow efficient modeling of the transport of broadband services over fiber-optic links in access networks using various technologies. Application examples of Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC), Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) systems and 10-Gb/s Ethernet transport over multimode fiber are provided to demonstrate the value of simulation during the R&D and deployment phases of product introduction.
