  • Chapter
  • First Online:
High-Speed Digital System Design

Abstract

This chapter presents the results of the analysis of the basic components of up-to-date high-speed telecommunication systems. Figuratively speaking, here is a detailed description of the main building blocks of which the architecture of up-to-date telecommunication systems is being built: waveguides, adapters, attenuators, filters, tappers, dividers and power combiners, encoders, coaxial communication lines, etc.
