This workshop is an introduction to the basic concepts and principles of fiber optics as used in telecommunications. A brief introduction to optics will be followed by the fundamentals of optical fiber properties, construction, and connectorization, including couplers and modulation schemes. After a discussion of fiber optic sources and detectors, practical transmitters and receivers will be investigated. The workshop will culminate with the study of fiber optic communications systems design and testing. Demonstrations and experiments will be included to reinforce material presented in the classroom.
This workshop will introduce the participants to the fundamentals of basic telecommunications. This short course will provide a broad overview of the field of telecommunications. Topic coverage includes: A brief history of telecommunications and regulation, the basic telecommunications system components, an introduction to the concepts of signals, bandwidth, frequency spectra, modulation, and noise, basic analog electronic modulation schemes, an introduction to pulse and digital modulation, and an overview of the three major transmission media: wireline, wireless, and fiber. There will be extensive use of multimedia and software simulation to demonstrate basic concepts. The participants will have some laboratory time to use typical telecommunications test and measurement equipment and to experiment with various software simulation packages.
This workshop is an introduction to the basic concepts of telecommunications. A brief history of the telecommunications industry will be followed by a description of present public and private telecommunications networks. First half workshop coverage includes basic electronics fundamentals, the telephone set, the local loop, telecommunications transmission media, switching systems and signaling. The second half will cover data transmission on the existing voice network along with xDSL and cable modem.
