Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Telecommunications Engineering (cod. 9205)
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows the structure and the main components of a fiber optic system. He is capable of designing Fiber-To-The-Home Systems taking advantage of an appropriate simulation software. He knows how some basic parameters of Radio-over-Fiber systems are measured.
Course contents
Operations performed by the main optical devices and components.
Engineering aspects and fundamental guidelines for the design of Optical Fiber Systems.
Optical Fiber Transmission of digital and radiofrequency signals. Basic structure of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) networks and of Radio Over Fiber (RoF) systems.
Computer design of basic Optical Fiber Transmission Systems.
Readings/Bibliography
G. Keiser, Optical Fiber Communications, Mc Graw Hill
D. M. Pozar, Microwave Engineering, Ed. John Wiley & Sons, New York
Teaching methods
About half of the course will be taught through classical frontal lectures. The other half of the course will consist in laboratory activities.
Assessment methods
The exam consists of two parts wich take place one immediately after the other:
- a computer exercise, carried out alongside the examiner, which tests the student's familiarity with Fiber-To-The-Home Optical Network Design.
- an oral interview which tests the assimilation of the theoretical concepts on which the contents of the Course are based
Teaching tools
Software "Quantum GIS" for the design of Fiber To The Home Systems.
