02 Single-Wavelength - Performance - Calculator - Microsoft Excel File

This document describes a calculator for evaluating the performance of single-wavelength analog fiber distribution networks. The calculator takes into account factors like transmitter relative intensity noise, fiber loss, dispersion, received power level, and amplifier noise figure to determine the overall link carrier-to-noise ratio and composite second order distortion for a 10km fiber link with up to two erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. Input parameters and calculated results are shown for sample link parameters.
