Design and Performance Evaluation of Hybrid WDM/TDM Passive Optical Networks Using Star Topology

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of the hybrid wavelength division multiplexing/time division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM/TDM PON) system using the star topology architecture. We are comparing the proposed hybrid passive optical network for the different data rates and distance by simultaneously varying the number of transmitters at OLT.
