Here's your complete engineering guide to the emerging technoloiges now being considered for use in tomorrow's fiber subscriber loop systems. The text gives you a detailed rundown on what the technologies are and describes how they work, and then shows how you can apply them to increase system performance, cut design time, and lower costs. This book is augmented by 320 equations, 269 references, 163 figures, and 21 quick-reference tables.
