Abstract:

This PHD will investigate the use of polymer fibers in data communication. The research will investigate the electrical material properties of polymers in high frequencies (F-band or higher). This properties includedispersion, attenuation, Temperature dependence... The second focus of this PHD is fiber design. Given a certain BW, fiber length and data rate. Design the optimal combination of plastic coatings and dimentions to get these specs. Finally the data communication itself will be investigated. What is an optimal modulation sceme for the channel given the constaint that it should also be possible to design transmitters and receiversthat can implement the modulation sceme.
