Fiber optic transceivers are transmitter/receiver modules that are pre-packaged in a standardized form. They offer convenience and the low cost of mass production.
Transceiver design issues include the following:
- Low cost.
- High data-rate.
- Mechanical compatibility of connector interfaces.
- Cross-talk between transmitter and receiver electronics.
- Electronic noise (EMI) issues, both with respect to emissions and susceptibility.
- Ease of manufacture (i.e. manufacturability).
- Minimal footprint.
