Inhaltsangabe

Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology provides an analytical methodology to the estimation of bit error rate of optical digital signals. This presents an extremely important subject in the design of optical communications systems and networks, yet previous to the publication of this book the topic had not been covered holistically.

The text lays out an easy-to-understand analytical approach to a highly important and complex subject: bit error rate (BER) estimation of a transmitted signal with a focus on optical transmission. It includes coverage of such important topics as impairments on DWDM optical signals, causes of signal distortion, and identification and estimation of the signal quality by statistical estimation of the bit error rate. The book includes numerous illustrations and examples to make a difficult topic easy to understand. This edition includes a CD-ROM with run-time simulations from a vendor that provides commercial software for the industry.

A comprehensive, analytical approach to bit error rate estimation of transmitted signals

Few subjects are more crucial to the quality of service of DWDM optical communications systems and networks than bit error rate (BER) estimation. One of the world’s leading authorities on DWDM, Stamatios Kartalopoulos, offers this comprehensive treatment of an easy-to-follow approach to BER estimation.

Optical Bit Error Rate is an authoritative guide that describes the sources effecting the quality of optical signals. It lays the theoretical foundation on which signal quality and optical channel performance are estimated, monitored, and detected, and presents a cost-effective method for the automatic estimation of BER, Q-factor, and SNR, using integrated circuitry at the receiver. Among the key issues covered in this informative and thought-provoking reference are:

• Noise sources in the optical transmission medium
• Optical transmitter and receiver noise
• The eye diagram
• Errored bits and the bit error rate
• Error detection and correction methodology
• BER statistical measurements

Complete with a companion CD-ROM, prepared by RSoft, using their latest simulation software OptSim&;, and containing ten real-life exercises that cover a wide spectrum of link-layer problems including optical amplifiers, Optical Bit Error Rate is the definitive guide for communications engineers looking for detailed information on this critically important topic.
