In this thesis, we design and realize the related circuits of fiber-optical communication using by GaAs HBT (Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) from III-V semiconductor process. Moreover, it provides a process for designing and testing. To employ the strong point of HBT which have high frequency, high operation speed and high driving ability. According to these characteristics, we can simulate and complete circuits of 10 Gb/s transmitter and receiver easily. Such as Transimpedance amplifier, limiting amplifier and laser driver.
In high speed transmission, some problems will be discovered and discussed. Therefore, understanding how to structure the measurement system and measure the correct characteristics of optical-electrical device needed.
