Abstract

The use of microwave subcarriers is proposed for providing wideband services in optical subscriber networks. Optical communication system design principles for such systems are reviewed with attention focused on the transmission of multiple video channels to the subscriber. Systems that carry 60 FM channels multiplexed on carriers in the 2.7-5.2-GHz band and 20 frequency-shift-keyed (FSK) 100-Mb/s digital video channels in the 2-6-GHz band are discussed. A hybrid system which carries a 100-Mb/s baseband signal plus 60 FM video channels is also described.<>
