OPTICAL TRANSMITTER &

RECEIVER FOR OFDM

Group no. 1
 WHAT IS OPTIC FIBRE CABLE(OFC)?

• It is basically a waveguide
• It is a nested cable
• It is highly fragile
• It gives higher data rates upto 4Gbps
• It operates in single & multi modes
• It reduces cross talks & call tapping
 CABLE TYPES

•OFN:  Optical fibre, nonconductive
•OFCG:  Optical fibre, conductive, general use
•OFNG:  Optical fibre, nonconductive, general use
•OFCP:  Optical fibre, conductive, plenum
•OFNP:  Optical fibre, nonconductive, plenum
•OFCR: Optical fibre, conductive, riser
•OFNR:  Optical fibre, nonconductive, riser
•OPGW:  Optical fibre composite overhead ground wire

 ADVANTAGES OF OFC

• High information carrying capacity

• Less attenuation
• Small in diameter, size & light weight
• Low cost as compared to Cu wires
• Greater safety & immune to EMI, RFI, moisture & corrosion
• Flexible & easy to install in tight conducts
•Difficult to tap fibres, so secure
• No cross talk & disturbances
• Enormous potential bandwidth (>THz)
•Electrical isolation
•Low transmission loss (0.2 dB/Km@1.55 μm)
• Ruggedness and flexibility
•System reliability and ease of maintenance (require fewer repeaters)
 Typical modern Multimode Graded-Index fibres have 3 dB/km of
Losses


attenuation loss at 850 nm and 1dB/km at 1300 nm
 Single mode loses 0.4/0.25 dB/km at 1310/1550 nm
 POF (plastic optical fibre) loses much more: 1 dB/m at 650 nm

Improvisation of OFC
communication

•Twists in OFC filter,

polarize or scatter light

•The twisted OFC imparts

“chiral / handedness”

•In these OFCs, some

photons left the core and
entered the cladding which
differ in the chirals
 APPLICATIONS

• Long distance communication backbones

• Inter-exchange junctions
• Video transmission for CATV, Surveillance
• Broadband services
• Computer data communication (LAN,WAN etc.)
• Military applications
• Non-communication applications (sensors etc.)
