A Broad Range of Circuits in MESFET, HFET, BJT, HBT, BiCMOS, and CMOS Technologies is Covered in the Report Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35205) has announced the addition of Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Starting in the 1970s In the late 1970s and early 1980s, telephone companies began to use fibers extensively to rebuild their communications infrastructure. According to KMI Corporation, specialists in fiber optic market research, by the end of 1990 there were approximately eight million miles of fiber laid in the U.S. (this is miles of fiber, not miles of cable which can contain many fibers). By the end of 2000, there were 80 million miles in the U.S. Communication to their offering. An expert guide to the new and emerging field of broadband circuits for optical fiber communication. This exciting publication makes it easy for readers to enter into and deepen their knowledge of the new and emerging field of broadband circuits for optical fiber communication. The authors selection and organization of material have been developed, tested, and refined from his many industry courses and seminars. Five types of broadband circuits are discussed in detail: - Transimpedance amplifiers - Limiting amplifiers - Automatic gain control (AGC) amplifiers - Lasers drivers - Modulator drivers. Essential background on optical fiber, photodetectors A device that senses the light pulses in an optical fiber and converts them into electrical pulses. It uses the principle of photoconductivity, which is exhibited in certain materials that change their electrical conductivity when exposed to light. See photoelectric., lasers, modulators, and receiver theory is presented to help readers understand the system environment in which these broadband circuits operate. For each circuit type, the main specifications and their impact on system performance are explained and illustrated with numerical values. Next, the circuit concepts are discussed and illustrated with practical implementations. A broad range of circuits in MESFET MESFET - Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, HFET HFET - Heilmann-Feynman Electrostatic Theorem HFET - Heterostructure Field-Effect Transistor HFET - Highway Fuel Economy Test HFET - Human Factors Engineering Testing, BJT See bipolar., HBT, BiCMOS, and CMOS technologies is covered. Emphasis is on circuits for digital, continuous-mode transmission in the 2.5 to 40 Gb/s range, typically used in SONET, SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Burst-mode circuits for passive optical networks (PON) and analog circuits for hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) cable-TV applications also are discussed. Learning aids are provided throughout the text to help readers grasp and apply difficult concepts and techniques, including: - Chapter summaries that highlight the key points - Problem-and-answer sections to help readers apply their new knowledge - Research directions that point to exciting new technological breakthroughs on the horizon - Product examples that show the performance of actual broadband circuits - Appendices that cover eye diagrams, differential circuits, S parameters, transistors, and technologies - A bibliography that leads readers to more complete and in-depth treatment of specialized topics This is a superior learning tool for upper-level undergraduates and graduate-level students in circuit design and optical fiber communication. Unlike other texts that concentrate on analog circuits in general or mostly on optics, this text provides balanced coverage of electronic, optic, and system issues. Professionals in the fiber optic industry will find it an excellent reference, incorporating the latest technology and discoveries in the industry. Contents are as follows:- Preface 1.
