Performance Analysis of an FTTH Transmission with Geographic Information System

Abstract

In fiber optic technology, the long haul communication systems allows a long transmission distance with a high power input. However, Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is a new proven technology, with the rapid development and the widespread deployment of FTTH networks, it's become increasingly susceptible to various defects and disturbances, which the disturbances can occur during the propagation process, these disturbances can be a linear effects such as dispersion and attenuation, or a nonlinear effects. Therefore, the supervision and analysis the performance of fiber optic networks becomes most important to guarantee the proper functioning of network transmission. In this paper, we will present a new simulator for fiber optics which detect and localize fiber defects and anomalies with Geographic Information System (GIS), and analysis the performance of optical system using bit error rate (BER) analyzer. Further analysis of the Matlab results is presented in this paper.
