Abstract:
Multiplexing is an essential part in a communication system. It is widely employed due to increase transmission capacity and to reduce system costs. There are three basic types of multiplexing technique in communication systems; time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency or wavelength division multiplexing (FDM) or (WDM), and code division multiplexing (CDM). In this paper, wavelength division multiplexed optical communication system is designed based on different duty cycle. The design is proposed for 10- users and data rate is 2×100 transmitted up to 78 km using SSMF.
