Abstract

An experimental 20 Gbit/s system, founded on synchronous 155.52 Mbit/s channels was implemented with the aid of monolithic integrated silicon circuits and a thorough going applied hybrid thin-film technology. The combination of digital and microwave circuits proved to be necessary and successful. The system can be used both for measuring and testing purposes as well as for an experimental insertion into the existing network of Deutsche Bundespost Telekom
