Avaliação de Modos Guiados em Par Trançado para Transmissão em Terabit/s

The exploration of higher order or guided modes in twisted pair cables, as an alternative to the currently used transmission line mode, was recently proposed with the objective of reaching rates at Tbit/s levels. In this context, this paper evaluates from numerical simulations the use of twisted pair's guided modes. The results are evaluated in terms of attenuation and transmission rate of the system, considering a twisted pair per user transmitting four guided modes. It is shown that for some situations it is possible to reach rates above 1 Tbit/s in just over 10 meters.
