The Emona Fiber Optics board is a comprehensive single-board solution for the ADS Max platform, covering fundamental digital communications, optics fundamentals such as electrical/optical and optical/electrical interface, optical signal combining and filtering. It delivers an immersive learning experience in modern fiber optic technologies, implementing eye-safe LED sources.
The Emona’s Fiber Optics board (FOTEx) board delivers a complete educational experience in fiber optics, designed specifically for the ADS Max platform. This single-board trainer allows students to conduct practical experiments on core optical communications topics, including pulse code modulation (PCM), time division multiplexing (TDM), bi-directional communications along a single fiber and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).
Using Emona’s TIMS™ modelling approach, students interactively build up electrical and optical systems using electrical and optical patching leads to explore fiber optics fundamentals such as electrical-to-optical signal conversion, optical losses, polarization effects, and bending losses.
Students use a hands-on learning methodology to bring to life theoretical concepts with real world signals that relate directly to the theory. All inputs and output are physically and electrically robust and designed for everyday student use and all experiment are fully documented with step by step guidelines and outcomes.
As well, being an open ended architecture allows professors to develop their own teaching materials using the elements provided by the board.
