Simulation of Fiber to the Home at 10 Gbit/s using GE-PON architecture

In this paper, a fiber communication system is employed using Giga Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GE-PON) architecture. In this architecture an optical fiber is employed directly from a Central Office to the home. A 1:8 splitter is used as a PON element which establishes communication between a Central Office to different users. The architecture has been investigated for different lengths from a Central Office to the PON in terms of BER. For 10 Gbit/s system the plots between the BER and transmission distance are plotted and it are seen that as the distance increases beyond the 15 km the BER is increased very sharply. The results in the form of voice and data spectrum for different users of FTTH with GE-PON architecture are shown.
