Coaxial cables in communication networks
Hotárek, Lukáš ; Křepelka, Václav (referee) ; Filka, Miloslav (advisor)
The semestral thesis is focused on coaxial cables, its development and current utilization. In the prologue of this paper, the history and origin of the cable is described with mentioning important dates and events in its development. Since the coaxial cable is type of metallic cable, part of the paper deals with the theory, parameters and characteristics of metallic cables. The theory of all basic types of metallic cables is described, that implies twisted pair, structured cabling and coaxial cable, to which is dedicated most space. The next chapter presents brief description, basic division and utilization of fiber optic to enable comparison with coaxial cable. It presents main advantages and disadvantages as well as reasoning for prevalence of use of optic fibers. The current use of coaxial cable is presented. Aside from cable television, computer and telephone networks, the coaxial cables are also used as feeder lines for transmitting and receiving aerials and as television aerial lead. Due to great possibility of utilization of coaxial cables exists a broad spectrum of cables with different parameters and properties. Therefore a separate chapter focuses on particular types of cabling, describes its significant parameters and practical utilization. The last part of the paper presents parameters of coaxial cables that can be verified and that bear great importance in praxis. The methods of proper measurement are mentioned. Aforesaid parameters include impedance, cable loss and distance-to-fault. Described are also modern analyzers that are most commonly used for measuring said parameters of coaxial cables and aerials.
