Understanding noise in SIS receivers

A simple laboratory test receiver has been built and used to examine some interesting aspects of heterodyne mixing with superconductor-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions. Experiments made over the frequency range 220 GHz–490 GHz using junctions of both the Pb/Bi/In-type and the Pb/In/Au-type indicate that, in the majority of cases, a receiver may be characterized through a few simple measurements made external to it's dewar. We also show that, at high local oscillator drive levels, excess mixer noise may be generated which may be removed by the application of a magnetic field. This is of particular relevance to high frequency mixing where Josephson interference may be strong. Finally, it is observed that even in the presence of severe interference a stable bias point, free from excess mixer noise, is often possible.     

Intensity noise in ASK coherent lightwave receivers

The effect of local oscillator intensity noise on the performance of two and three-branch ASK homodyne receivers and single-branch ASK heterodyne receivers is investigated and an optimum local oscillator power is found. At optimum local oscillator power, both the three-branch and heterodyne receivers are found to have a somewhat better sensitivity than the two-branch receiver. If the local oscillator power is high than the optimum value, the three-branch receiver is significantly less sensitive to intensity noise than the other two receivers

Quantum noise and excess noise in optical homodyne and heterodyne receivers

A parallel development of the semiclassical and quantum statistics of multispatiotemporal mode direct, homodyne, and heterodyne detection using an ideal (except for its subunity quantum efficiency) photon detector is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the latter two coherent detection Configurations. The primary intent is to delineate the semiclassical theory's regime of validity and to show, within this regime of validity, how the quantum theory's signal quantum noise, local oscillator quantum noise, the quantum noise incurred because of subunity detector quantum efficiency, plus (for heterodyning only) image band quantum noise produce the quantitative equivalent of the semiclassical theory's local oscillator shot noise. The effects of classical fluctuations on the local oscillator, and the recently suggested dual-detector arrangement for suppressing these fluctuations, are treated. It is Shown that previous studies of this arrangement have neglected a potentially significant noise contribution.

Effect of thermal noise and APD noise on the performance ofOPPM-CDMA receivers

The effect of thermal noise and avalanche-photodiode (APD) noise on the performance of optical overlapping pulse-position modulation/code-division multiple-access (OPPM-CDMA) systems with and without double optical hardlimiters is examined. Comparisons with the corresponding optical on-off keying/CDMA (OOK-CDMA) systems are presented as well. The maximum data rate that can be achieved under laser pulsewidth and bit error rate constraints is determined. It is shown that about 10 dB increase in the average power, with respect to the Poisson shot-noise-limited system, is required to compensate for the performance degradation due to thermal noise and APD noise. Moreover, it is indicated that for a bit error rate not exceeding 10^-9, a laser pulsewidth of 0.03 ns, and an average received optical power of -55 dBm, a data rate of more than 3 Gb/s can be achieved per channel when using OPPM-CDMA systems with double optical hardlimiters     

Statistical characterization of filtered phase noise in optical receivers

This article presents an accurate numerical approach to statistically characterize filtered phase noise, usually encountered in the analysis of heterodyne optical fiber communication receivers. Filtered phase noise is generated by simulation. Generated samples are used to estimate the probability density functions and moment generating functions of phase noise random variables. The proposed approach is valid for large as well as small phase noise. Furthermore, it comes close to providing analytical expressions for the computed statistical measures.     

Performance of optical direct receivers using noise corrupteddecision threshold

The decision threshold of digital binary detectors has to be selected in the optimum position between 0 and 1 symbol amplitudes in order to minimize the bit error rate, This optimum has to be determined by acquiring the bit amplitudes from the signal itself. In packet, or burst-mode, transmission systems the decision threshold must be rapidly acquired from a short strip of bits, and the intrinsic reception noise may have not been completely averaged. This introduces a sensitivity penalty which is shown to be given by a simple expression for the situation when additive Gaussian noise is dominant. An extension to the nonadditive Gaussian noise is given in an appendix. Special attention is devoted to the case when adaptive threshold acquisition is done by means of a peak detector and it is found that the penalty is always higher than that of the ideal integrator. The optimum decision threshold must be estimated numerically in each case and varies along the burst with the number of acquired peaks     

Phase diversity techniques for coherent optical receivers

In the present state of the art, coherent optical receivers most often operate in the heterodyne mode. Here a photodiode-amplifier combination having bandwidth greater than twice the bit rate (B) is needed: indeed bandwidths considerably greater than2Bare preferably employed to ease design of the bandpass filter needed for noise limitation, and to avoid demodulator penalties in some modulation schemes. For the high bit rate systems now coming into service (560 Mbit/s-2.4 Gbit/s), the optical receiver design requirements become more stringent for coherent heterodyne operation. The various modes of "zero IF" operation, however, require only baseband receiver module bandwidth. The options available are either homodyne (phase locked) operation, or phase diversity (multiport) techniques. In this paper, we compare these options, and show that phase diversity techniques are capable of good performance for high bit rate coherent receivers. In phase diversity operation, not only is phase locking avoided, but also the necessary frequency locking does not have high stability requirements. Furthermore, there are advantages in operating with a small frequency offset from zero (of the order of 1 percent of the bit rate). An experimental receiver has been operated at 320 and 680 Mbit/s, demodulating both amplitude shift keying (ASK) and differential phase shift keying (DPSK). Operation with FSK is also possible. Sensitivities so far achieved of -47.5 dBm (320-Mbit/s ASK) and -42 dBm (680- Mbit/s ASK) with limited local oscillator power are capable of substantial improvement when higher power local oscillators and lower noise receive modules become available. Demodulation of DPSK at 320 Mbit/s has also been achieved and shows a measured receiver sensitivity improvement of over 4 dB over ASK at the same bit rate and local oscillator power. These practical results show clearly that phase diversity is a very realistic option for high bit rate systems.     

On the Rice model of noise in FM receivers

The so-called click-and-Gaussian-noise model for the output of a limiter-discriminator receiver for frequency-modulated signals, first proposed by S.O. Rice in 1963, is reviewed. A short survey is presented of the subsequent research that it generated and of some practical applications that it motivated. A more detailed analysis of parameters encountered in the Rice model is carried out with emphasis on their pertinence to click detection. These results are applied to the understanding of the limitations and to the interpretation of the performance of several noise threshold extension techniques for analog modulations and of error reduction techniques for digital modulations that depend on click detection and elimination
