Overview
In this section we develop a simple point-topoint digital transmission link design
considering
Link power budget calculations and
Link rise time calculations
A link should satisfy both these budgets
System Requirements

2. Data Rate for a given BER

Design Considerations
Link Power Budget
There is enough power margin in the system to
meet the given BER
Problem
Problem 2
An optical system has the following characteristics:
LED power (Ps) = 2 mW (3 dBm)
LED to fiber loss (Lsf) = 3 dB
Fiber loss per km (FL) = 0.5 dB/km
Fiber length (L) = 40 km
Connector loss (Lconn) = 1 dB (one connector between two 20-km fiber lengths)
Fiber to detector loss (Lfd) = 3 dB
Receiver sensitivity (Pr) = 36 dBm
Find the loss margin.
Solution:
where Pi is the mean input optional power launched into the fiber, Po is the mean
incident optical power required at the receiver and CL is the total channel loss
When total channel loss is substituted,

Thus the upper limit on Tsyst should be less than 35% of the bit interval
for an RZ pulse format and less than 70% of the bit interval for an NRZ
pulse format.
Problem 1
An LED together with its drive circuit has a rise time of 15ns.Taking a typical LED spectral width
of 40nm, the material dispersion rise time degradation is 21ns over the 6-km link. Assuming the receiver
has a 25-MHZ bandwidth,
1.Find the rise time degradation from the receiver.
2. If the fiber we select has a 400-MHz.km bandwidth-distance product and with q=0.7, find the modal
dispersion-induced fiber rise time.
3.Calculate the total rise time of the link
Problem 2
An optical fiber system is to be designed to operate over an 8 km length without repeaters.
The rise times of the chosen components are:
Source (LED) 8 ns
Fiber: intermodal 5 ns km1
(pulse broadening) intramodal 1 ns km1
Detector (pin photodiode) 6 ns
From system rise time considerations, estimate the maximum bit rate that may be
achieved on the link when using an NRZ format.
Problem 3
An LED together with its drive circuit has a rise time of 0.025ns. Taking a typical LED spectral width
of 40nm, the material dispersion rise time degradation is 21ns over the 6-km link. Assuming the receiver
has a 25-MHZ bandwidth,
1.Find the rise time degradation from the receiver.
2. If the fiber we select has a 400-MHz.km bandwidth-distance product and with q=0.6, find the modal
dispersion-induced fiber rise time.
3.Calculate the total rise time of the link .
From system rise time considerations, estimate the maximum bit rate that may be
achieved on the link when using an RZ format.
