Performance improvement of FTTH architecture with OCDMA technique

Abstract

In proposed simulation model, Fiber to the home (FTTH) architecture with a filter called fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based the optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) technique used to provide access to number of users to share all the bandwidth simultaneously. FTTH provides higher bandwidth than the traditional existing technology of broadband, having the capability of providing all the servixces of communication like data services, voice services and video services. The traditional metallic cables are replaced with optical fibers in Fiber to the Home to end line consumers. OCDMA provides high reliable communication. The performance improvement of FTTH architecture is done through OCDMA technique. In paper at very first, FTTH, the system with OCDMA is explained after that the architecture of FTTH using OCDMA technique, its principle explained. The proper coordination of time plays an important role in OCDMA, otherwise there is more chances of overlapping of signals and noise which may some time lead to crosstalk. There is a use of FBG as an encoder and decoder because of its low cost and the investigation is done on eye opening, BER, Q factor. The proposed model provides high Q-factor and minimum BER which is required for demands of the future communication services.
