Performance Investigation of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Ingress Network Based on GPON with Optisystem

Abstract

Nowadays in our day to day life very high-speed data rate is very exigent. It can be increased according to the users of Internet with the applications like smart phone, video surveillance, live broadcasting of news, video conference, etc. Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called “fiber to the premises” (FTTP), is the installation of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide unprecedented high-speed Internet access. FTTH dramatically increases the connection speeds available to computer users compared with other technologies. This paper investigates the performance of the FTTH, and the performance is analyzed by using the optisystem software. The proposed architecture minimizes the Bit error rate (BER) and increases the Q-factor. The minimum BER attained for upstream configuration with a distance of 15 km is 1.01489e⁻⁰⁷³ and for downstream configuration is 1.24672e⁻⁰²⁶. Maximum Q-factor for upstream configuration at a length 15 km is 18.1225 and for downstream configuration is 10.6166. The Q-factor for both the cases meets the standards because both the configuration values are above 6. The standard sensitivity of this configuration is −28 dBm, and the calculation values using optisystem is −26.205 dBm. So, the proposed system is feasible.
