Optical Fiber Communication Block Diagram

The optical fiber consists of three main elements:

Transmitter: An electric signal is applied to the optical transmitter. The optical transmitter consists of driver circuit, light source and fiber flylead.
- Driver circuit drives the light source.
- Light source converts electrical signal to optical signal.
- Fiber flylead is used to connect optical signal to optical fiber.
Transmission channel: It consists of a cable that provides mechanical and environmental protection to the optical fibers contained inside. Each optical fiber acts as an individual channel.
- Optical splice is used to permanently join two individual optical fibers.
- Optical connector is for temporary non-fixed joints between two individual optical fibers.
- Optical coupler or splitter provides signal to other devices.
- Repeater converts the optical signal into electrical signal using optical receiver and passes it to electronic circuit where it is reshaped and amplified as it gets attenuated and distorted with increasing distance because of scattering, absorption and dispersion in waveguides, and this signal is then again converted into optical signal by the optical transmitter.
Receiver: Optical signal is applied to the optical receiver. It consists of photo detector, amplifier and signal restorer.
- Photo detector converts the optical signal to electrical signal.
- Signal restorers and amplifiers are used to improve signal to noise ratio of the signal as there are chances of noise to be introduced in the signal due to the use of photo detectors.

For short distance communication only main elements are required.

Source- LED

Fiber- Multimode step index fiber

Detector- PIN detector
For long distance communication along with the main elements there is need for couplers, beam splitters, repeaters, optical amplifiers.

Source- LASER diode

Fiber- single mode fiber

Detector- Avalanche photo diode (APD)

Tutorial on EasyEDA desktop software for PCB and schematic design

In this article, I am going to write a tutorial on how to use EasyEDA desktop application for creating a schematic and for PCB design. One of best advantage of this software is that you can create design offline and can automatically synchronize your design with your online EasyEDA account. It can be used for circuits simulation, PCB deign and electronics circuits design. You can download EasyEDA desktop application by clicking on following link and it will work on windows 7 or its greater version. They are also releasing soon offline application OSX and Linux users. So keep visiting their website for more information. https://easyeda.com/page/download So let’s start and see how to design a schematic and PCB using EasyEDA offline desktop application. So first of all lets see how to create a schema...

What is Solar System Components & Installation Guide

Hello Dear Reader, Here in this post, I will give an idea about installation cost analysis of Solar PV System. I hope you read this post regarding the calculation of solar PV system so in this post I have given an approximate cost analysis of the different solar system installations. What is Solar System Components Solar systems are made up of solar panels (modules), a mounting system, and a solar inverter with computerised controller. Solar panels produce DC electricity from sunlight. Then the inverter converts the generated electricity into AC, so that it can be used in the household. The computerised controller manages the solar system and ensures optimal performance. If you want a battery backup system or an off-the-grid solar system, a battery is required. What is a Solar Energy System? Solar Energy System consists of 4 main components that decide the working of a solar energy system. Solar Panel Solar Inverter Solar Battery Panel Stand, and Solar Panel Installation...

CMOS OPAMP Design Using LTspice

Hello Dear Reader, Here in this post, I will give an idea about how CMOS OPAMP designing using 180nm technology node and using LTspice. from that opamp I have design switched capacitor integrator. Design Specifications: Here Design specification may be changed according to the application here my target is to design an active lowpass filter so I have chosen an opamp integrator so in the below I have explained how to design an opamp as well as an integrator in a 180nm technology node in LTspice. So let's start design First, we need a technology parameter file so that the file we can insert in the LTspice, in my example it is 180nm so mostly it is available from the http://ptm.asu.edu/latest.html and you make one text file using notepad or whatever is fit on your own. Then go to the LTspice and new schematic and then you see .op on the right most upper side click on it and give your text file path after .include as shown in the below images. Now first of all...
