The association of Web technology with instrument automation and control by computer has made possible the development of the so called Remote Laboratories or WebLabs - distributed environments that allow to access and control experiments remotely through a network or the Internet in real time and with the sensation of presence. In this work, a WebLab was developed for the study and caracterization of a WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) system, aiming to support and complement activities in faceto-face and distance courses on Optical Communications. Drivers and graphic user interfaces (GUI s) were developed with the software LabVIEW for control and data acquisition of instruments used in a remote experiment to measure the basic features of a WDM system. An application was also developed with the software VPI for the numerical simulation of Bit Error Rate (BER) measurements. This work is part of the activities related to the participation of the Mackenzie Photonics Laboratory in the KyaTera Project of FAPESP s TIDIA Program. / O advento da Internet e o desenvolvimento das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC s) geraram novos espaços para a comunicação e colaboração entre grupos de pessoas localizadas em regiões geograficamente distintas. A associação da tecnologiaWeb com a automação e controle de instrumentos por computador tornou possível o desenvolvimento dos chamados Laboratórios Remotos ou WebLabs - ambientes distribuídos que permitem o acesso e controle remoto de experimentos através de uma rede de comunicação ou da Internet em tempo real e com sensação de presença. Neste trabalho, foi desenvolvido um WebLab para estudo e caracterização de um sistema WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing), destinado a apoiar e complementar atividades em cursos de Comunicações Ópticas presenciais e a distância. Foram desenvolvidos drivers e interfaces gráficas de usuário (GUI s) com o software LabVIEW para o controle e aquisição de dados dos instrumentos utilizados em um experimento remoto de medida das características básicas de um sistema WDM. Também foi desenvolvido um aplicativo com o software VPI que permite simular a medida da Taxa de Erro de Bit (BER) do sistema.

The diploma thesis Simulation of Multipath Propagation of Multistate Modulations is focused on the development of an appropriate algorithm in MATLAB environment, which is capable to simulate the impact of the multipath propagation on received signal (error rate) on the basis of given parameters of the transmission channels. Mechanisms and characteristics of the wave propagation in communication environment, types of digital modulations and their most important parameters are described in the first part of this thesis. The second part is focused on the simulation itself. Created GUI (Graphical User Interface) is able to display constellation diagrams of transmitted and received signals, as well as their bit error rate. It is also possible to compare these data with the data of signal, which is passed by a non-fading channel.

In last years phenomena of wireless communication technologies became a primary interest of big development laboratories whole world. Domain of point to point links which are realized by laser technology with narrow beam divergence and very sensitive photo-detectors is ordinarily used these days. This trend of using light waves as carrier medium turned interests of scientist to the sphere of wide area networks which is domain of wi-fi radio technologies. One of new trends in this sphere is also in-door free space optics. With expansion which leads to using LED's in everyday applications and with technological progress of last years, also grows tendency of most effective utilization of LED systems. The result of this effort is thought which considerate LED as source of artificial lighting and source of carrier medium for modulated signal. This kind of device must fulfill hygienic standards for illumination and also must be able to work with high frequency by which is signal modulated. These systems can provide links with sufficient capacity in order of hundred megabits.
