@article{Abdulwahab_eldaw_2021, title={Performance Evaluation of Symmetric and Asymmetric XG Passive Optical Networks}, volume={4}, url={https://ijeeas.utem.edu.my/ijeeas/article/view/6035}, abstractNote={<p><em>The passive optical network refers to the optical network that configured without </em><em>using any electrical components. XG-Passive optical Network (PON) is the first generation of the </em><em>future optical network which is widely demanded for transmitting massive information. The paper </em><em>aims to study the performance of XG-PON using different types of fiber optics and also to evaluate </em><em>the performance of symmetric and asymmetric XG-PON. In this paper two model designs of XGPON are shown. The first model uses a single direction fiber and the other uses a bidirectional </em><em>optic fiber. The two models are used to evaluate the performance of XG-PON for both single </em><em>direction optical line and bidirectional optical line. The paper discusses the basic structure and </em><em>performance of symmetric and asymmetric XG-PON. The performance evaluations scope includes </em><em>the measuring values of the bit error rate BER and the quality factor. The obtained results reveal </em><em>that when using the same parameters, the resulted bit error rate of the bidirectional design is </em><em>(1.2087×10-13). The obtained results show that the bidirectional design reflects better </em><em>performance than single directional design and also proves that asymmetric XG-PON </em><em>performance is better than the symmetric one.</em></p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Electrical Engineering and Applied Sciences (IJEEAS)}, author={Abdulwahab, Mortada Mohammed and eldaw, mogahid}, year={2021}, month={Apr.} }
