An experimental all-GaAs 10 Gbit/s synchronous transmission system for optical fibers

摘要

An experimental 10 Gbit/s system, based on synchronous 155.52 Mbit/s channels was implemented with the aid of monolithic integrated GaAs circuits and a thorough going applied hybrid thinfilm technology. The combination of digital and microwave circuits proved to be necessary and successful. The system can be used both for measuring and testing purposes as well as for an experimental insertion to the existing network of Deutsche Bundespost Telekom.
