Abstract:
The waveguide which is considered recently for transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals from one node to another node is the optic fiber technology. The reliance on fast transmission of information can be achieved with the implementation of fiber optic cable as a waveguide in a communication channel. Basically, optic fiber transmits information with the aid of light called laser at majorly two categories of wavelengths which are 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Propagation of signal over a long stretch of fiber is affected by attenuation due to scattering, fiber bend due to impurities and absorption between the core and the cladding when signal travels along the channel, but these loses are minimal between acceptable value. Optical fiber sensors called photodetector are used to detect the information at the receiving end with minimal losses along the fiber channel. Results obtained demonstrate that there are minimal losses in a fiber cable-based signal transmission.
