内容説明

This book is based on a highly successful series of seminars which the author has been giving in the UK. It covers the procedures for selecting and implementing fibre-optic systems, and through this approach also serves as a more general introduction to the topic of fibre-optic communications systems. All the latest developments in this fast-growing, important field are covered, and developments which are likely in the future are discussed. The various components of fibre-optic systems are considered, as are the factors to be taken into account when a particular system is chosen. Applications are discussed in some detail, and include: local and wide area networks, cable television, and long-distance communications. Monitoring and measurement techniques are also covered. The author's knowledge of the subject is considerable, and he is now working for a leading European analyst for the fibre-optics and microwave markets. The volume will appeal to engineers, telecommunications systems managers, information systems managers, data communications systems designers, applications planners, network designers, product planners, design, research and development managers.
