← TechnologyWhich limitation appears when exceeding the Nyquist rate in Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) optical fiber communication?
A)Increased thermal noise
B)Intersymbol interference emerges✓
C)Reduced signal attenuation
D)Chromatic dispersion decreases
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the Nyquist rate in TDM causes intersymbol interference because the *sampling theorem* prevents accurate reconstruction of separated signals presented at too great a rate in each time slot. Therefore, symbols overlap, rather than remaining discrete; differently, thermal noise increases with higher optical power.
