5.8 Design Link Badget
Example 1:
1:
A fiber of 50 km length has Pin = 10 mW and Pout
= 1mW.
Find the
the loss in dB/km
Solution :
From equation
LossdB or LdB = 10 log (Pout /pin)
Pin)
LdB = 10 log (1mW /10mw)
10mW)
LdB = - 10 dB (The negative sign indicates a loss )
So, the loss per unit length of fiber dB/km:
dB/km:
L (dB/km) = (-10dB / 50 km)
50 km)
= - 0.2 dB/km
• Attenuation - measure of the loss of signal strenght/ light power
Dispersion - limit the Bw of the data that can transmitted
over the fiber
