Projeto e análise de uma rede GPON.

Abstract

This term paper seeks to study since the fundamental principles of an optical communication system to the design of a fully optical network in the Gigabit Passive Optical Network topology. The theoretical basis begins with the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave proven by James Clerk Maxwell. After, the basic laws demonstrate how light is guided by long distances on an optical fiber. Then, there is an exposition of the main characteristics of optical fibers, since fiber types to losses and attenuations linked to them. In the foregoing, the particularities of the Passive Optical Network (PON), analyzing the main indicators for the future design of a PON network and demonstrates its main components that will be used in the project. And finally, the practical project of a fully optical network in a small city in the inner of Ceará.
