Fiber Backbone- Multi-channel Am Video Trunking (1989)
By James A. Chiddix, American Television and Communications Corporation
Abstract - This presentation updates a scenario for the evolutionary integration of optical fiber transmission technology into existing cable television networks first presented at the NCTA transactions in 1988. The resulting "fiber backbone" yields a hybrid fiber/coaxial network with significantly better reliability and transmission quality than present systems. System and electro-optical component advances in the last year are reviewed, and the merits of various modulation techniques are examined. The fiber backbone approach emphasizes continuing the broadband delivery of a large number of video signals to the consumer.
