Summary: | Abstract Passive optical network (PON) was designed in this paper. The design aim was to locate faulty line of service professionally without extra effort. In the literature, there were various PON-design methodologies. However, a design with fewer components and less faulty line tracking was a challenge. The suggested approach tried to overcome the leakage in the state-of-the-art, such that, the PON network would be able to serve forty-eight optical network units (ONUs). At the same time, the design has to have the capability to distinguish the dropped line of service straightforwardly. The design in this thesis mainly depends on the fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to create six-groups, in each group, there are eight-branches. Each branch serves as an end-user/customer point. The capacity of fault location was achieved for ONUs distanced/located as far as 20 Km from the central office (CO). There was only one optical spectrum analyser (OSA) inside the CO. This OSA employed to monitor the whole network groups, i.e., forty-eight branches/ONU were screened inside the CO to predict the fault location. The system is built using the OptiSystem software package version 14. |
