Design of Point-to-Point Optical Fiber for Digital Video Broadcasting Television in Jakarta

Information technology has been growing along with increasing information needs, including television. In Indonesia, television technology is in shifting to implement the digital system, by single multiplexing, multi multiplexing or hybrid. All of them allow television stations to transmit their broadcast to a central provider that is an authorized multiplexing operator. Based on that background, this paper presents a point-to-point design of optical fiber routes for supporting digital television in Jakarta. The considered paths consist of 20 lines, which is from broadcasters to the central provider (TVRI). The analysis considers parameters of link loss budget and rise-time budget as Quality of Service (QoS) with 70% of the non-return-zero modulation scheme. From our proposed design, the total loss of all routes and rise-time from all paths is under maximum allowable loss, that is 29 dBm, and rise time. Based on the results of these two parameters, this proposed design is reliable to be applied.
