Multiplexer at 5 Gbit/s for fibre-optical communication systems
Abstract
A 5-Gbit/s multiplexer using a step-recovery diode, microstrip transmission delay lines, and fast p-i-n diode switches has been investigated. The signal/distortion ratio is 12 dB, where most of the distortion is due to an imperfect input signal. The overall multiplexer seems to be simple enough to be adopted in high-capacity optical-fiber communication systems.
