Abstract: | An analysis of tuned optical-receiver noise performance for microwave subcarrier multiplexed lightwave systems is presented. The effect of correlation between the gate and the drain HEMT noise sources and the design of tuning networks to obtain partial noise cancellation were investigated. Anoptimization algorithm is used to determine the tuning elements values for minimizing noise of 16 dB for a 60-video-channel subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) system, and 12 dB for a 120-channel system, which allows a significant increase in passive optical network distribution capacity. Design results for tuned front-end receivers encompassing the effects of p-i-n, HEMT, and SCM band parameters are presented |
