Optical broadband infrastructures for wired and wireless area networks

这个为期三年的战略项目涉及设计和开发光纤馈送60ghz和超宽带（UWB）无线接入技术，这些技术集成到有线数字相干光纤到户（FTTH）网络中。将研究FTTH光网络拓扑结构，包括点对点和点对多点架构。将演示用于融合FTTH/UWB和FTTH/60 ghz网络的全双工点对点和点对多点架构。为了提高系统的性能和降低系统的总成本，将制作基于等效啁啾技术的半导体激光阵列。将研究空中接口设计，以提高传输性能和所有链路预算。从这个项目中产生的新知识以及与这项工作的不同阶段有关的高素质人员的培训肯定会有助于提高加拿大的全球竞争力，特别是在高技术部门。

This three-year Strategic Project is concerned with the design and development of fiber-fed 60-GHz and ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless access techniques that are integrated into the wired digital coherent fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks. FTTH optical network topologies will be investigated, including point-to-point and point-to-multipoint architectures. A full duplex point to point and point to multipoint architecture for converged FTTH/UWB and FTTH/60-GHz networks will be demonstrated. Semiconductor laser arrays based on an equivalent chirp technology will be fabricated to improve the performance and reduce the total cost of the system. Air interface design will be studied to improve transmission performance and over all link budget. The new knowledge generated from this project and the training of highly qualified personnel associated to the different stages of this work will certainly contribute to enhance Canada's global competitiveness, especially in high-technology sectors.
