| Abstract | The passive optical networks represent modern and promising solution to meet the increasing demands on the transmission speed in access networks. These optical networks consist only of passive optical components, essential role play mainly the passive optical splitters. Therefore, it is not possible to perform additional adjustments with the optical signal, such as its amplifying, dropping, routing, etc. It is necessary in early stage of planning the optical network to comply with its parameters for its proper operation, especially the values of total attenuation, optical return loss, delay, etc. It is therefore necessary to accomplish the detailed analysis and the calculation of total attenuation characteristics of proposed optical network. The program for the purposes of rapid calculation of the passive optical network attenuation was designed. It supports various network topologies and it enables to enter initial parameters of optical network. The outputs in the tabular form also include the assessment of the suitability of proposed optical network for the different variants of passive optical networks. |
