Fiber Optic Communication SDH System Design
This tutorial provides an overview of SDH/SONET, covering basics, HDLC framing, terminologies, rates, and the SONET STS-1 SDH Frame. SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) serve the same purpose: communication over optical. Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and synchronous optical network (SONET) refer to a group of fiber-optic transmission rates that can transport digital signals with different capacities. Its vast capacity needs to be accessed by a protocol that can support high data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s per wavelength or, in the future, 40 Gbit/s. This course will cover the basic concepts and network architectures of SDH and DWDM networks, as.
