EXERCISES
12.1 One digital voice channel takes up 64 kb/s. How many voice channels
can an OC-192 (9.953.28 Gb/s) system deliver?
12.2 Decibel (dB) is commonly used in communications. It can represent
absolute signal power, defined as P (dBm) = 10 log (P(mW)), and
relative level, denned as AP (dB) = 10 Log (PI (mW)/P2 (mW)). 0 dBm
represents 1 mW and 3 dB represents two times. An optical amplifier
has —5 dBm total input from an 80-channel DWDM signal. Suppose
all channels have the same power. What is the input power to the
amplifier for each channel?
12.3 Noise power in a fiber-optic communication system depends linearly on
the measurement bandwidth. The OC-192 receiver requires that the
incoming signal has a minimum optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of
25 dB, for 0.1-nm bandwidth. What is the requirement of OSNR for
0.5-nm bandwidth?
12.4 In DWDM systems, one method is to use an optical bandpass filter
(BPF) to pick out a single channel from a composite DWDM signal,
and feed it to the receiver. Since the optical receiver reacts to a wide
spectrum of light, it falls on the optical BPF to suppress out-of-band
noises before they flood the receiver. If the receiver requires that the
