Diseño, simulación y pruebas de un laboratorio de sistemas de comunicaciones ópticas usando Matlab Communications System Toolbox, Simulink y OptiSystem

Abstract

The laboratories are an essential part in the training of engineering students, it it’s the way in which they assimilate, understand and put into practice the knowledge received in class objective to solve challenges and tasks designated manner. However, in the field of optical communications, the equipment costs limit the availability of complete laboratories that allow the experience of realistic and practical scenarios. Today the use of computational tools is the cornerstone in enabling optical communication systems generate very enriching experiences simulation. From the pedagogical point of view, this project aims to be an alternative degree when accompany the theory of optical communication systems with a laboratory, whose implementation cost is affordable. This proposal is supported by practices developed in two computational tools, Matlab and OptiSystem, where the main objective is to reinforce the theoretical knowledge with the definition of design challenges, which are simulated and which results are interpreted under optimized, undersized and oversized conditions. Thus the student adds to its formation a series of skills-oriented professional life.
