Wired Communication
Wired Communication
"Over the
wire" means transmitting the signals onto the physical medium. Increasingly, the wire is
no longer metal, but glass.
Wired Communication
Introduction
Although the trend moves towards an increased use of wireless communication systems,
wired systems are still as relevant as they have been. Some examples of wired systems
are cable TV, ADSL (broadband) and fixed telephony (PSTN - Public Switched
Telephone Network).
Our Research
Our focus areas in wired communications are directed towards data transfer on powerline
cables and on twisted pair cables. Powerline communication projects are normally
associated with development of modems for data transfer to offshore subsea installations.
Our research in the field of twisted pair cables is mainly within modelling and simulation
of various xDSL technologies.
Common wired media are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, shielded twisted pair and
optical fiber cable.
