Karris covers basic electronic concepts and signals, semiconductor electronics, diodes, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors and PNPN devices, operational amplifiers, integrated circuits, pulse circuits and waveforms generators, frequency characteristics of single-stage and cascaded amplifiers, tuned amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, compensated attenuators, and more. The fiber-based system used light from a weak coherent laser pulse at 1310 nm to transmit key material and attenuators between the transmitter and receiver to simulate fiber losses over long distances. With the Optiplex II from Aurora, broadband networks can be easily expanded by adding optical wavelengths without the need to break physical connections or install optical attenuators to realign the optical carrier power levels," said Ron Wolfe, Senior Product Manager for CATV Products for Aurora Networks. |
