Synopsis

Unlike books that focus on the devices used in links, such as lasers and photodiodes, among others, this text focuses on the next level. It covers the collection of devices that form a link, how the individual device performance affects the link performance, or the reverse. Analog links are used for the distribution of cable TV signals, and in conveying the signals to and from antennas (so called antenna remoting). The design of analog links differs significantly from digital links which are primarily used in telecommunications.

About this title

Book Description:

Analog links are used for the distribution of cable TV signals, and in conveying the signals to and from antennas (so called antenna remoting). The design of analog links differs significantly from digital links which are primarily used in telecommunications. Unlike books that focus on the devices used in links, such as lasers, photodiodes, etc. this book focuses at the next layer up: on the collection of devices that form a link, on how the individual device performance effects the link performance--and vice versa.

About the Author:

Charles H. Cox III ScD is one of the pioneers of the field that is now generally referred to as analog or RF photonics. In recognition of this work he was elected a Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to the analysis, design and implementation of analog optical links. Dr Cox is President and CEO of Photonic Systems Inc., which he founded in 1998. He holds six US patents, has given 45 invited talks on photonics and has published over 70 papers on his research in the field of phototonics.
