SIP397-3P
Central Office

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The Central Office Panel, SIP397-3P, is part of the Digital Communications Course.  The panel can also be used as an interface between a subscriber's telephone and the Microwave Communications System, SIP365BC.  When interfaced with the microwave system, the panel provides an electrical interface with the telephone, converts the analog voice signal into a digital stream of 8-bit words, converts the digital words into an optical transmission, decodes the optically received signal and provides a replica of the original signal.

A time slot assignment circuit (TSAC) selects the appropriate channel for transmission and reception.  The system operates over the voice channel bandpass of 300 Hz-3400Hz.  The low power optical driver, designed for use within 1mm fiber optic cable, can drive cable lengths of at least 4-5 meters.  Since the cable produces phase shift, an adjustable phase shift network is included on the panel.

Course Time: 55 Hours
