Abstract :
This paper reports the design and performance of a multi-channel FM-SCM video distribution system that can be placed into practical use. Fifty FM video channels can be delivered to more than 10 000 customers through three-cascaded erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, and wideband/low-noise analog SCM links. As the outdoor plant is completely passive, reliability and easy maintenance can be expected. An evaluation of fabricated equipment shows good transmission quality and stable operation
