1. For a 10 Gbit/s NRZ signal , calculate the maximum uncompensated fiber
length limit due to dispersion , assume line width =0.1 nm.
2. Assume a launch power of 0 dBm per channel. What is total power in dBm
for 60 channels.
3. Draw the constellation diagram for 16 QAM signal . How many bits per
symbol
4. Explain in words why 40 Gbit/s DQPSK is more resilient to dispersion than
40 Gbit/s NRZ 40 Gbit/s NRZ
5. Assume a ideal rectangular pulse of width =0.5 * bit period ( T=100ps)
Extinction ratio is 10 dB. ( ratio of 1 to 0 power) . Draw eye diagram for
clean signal and one with 20 ps PMD.
6. Estimate using Shannons law the max capacity in 30 nm bandwidth
assuming 20 dB SNR
7. Show for meshed architecture minimum number of wavelengths is
