Noise analysis for optical frequency conversion using nearlydegenerate four wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier

For future wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) networks, optical frequency conversion will enable the flexible and efficient use of optical frequency bandwidth. However, the signal degradation at frequency converters limits the maximum size of the network. Noise due to optical frequency conversion using nearly degenerate four wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier is investigated, and it is found that the crosstalk from one of the two pump lasers can impose the power penalty on the bit error rate (BER) characteristics after optical frequency conversion. Analytical expressions for BER are developed and used to evaluate the receiver sensitivity penalty caused by optical frequency conversion. On the basis of these results the optimal setting of the frequency difference between the signal and pump lasers and the power ratio of the two pump lasers are discussed. A 155-Mb/s frequency-shift keying (FSK) transmission with 1750-GHz (14 nm) optical frequency conversion has been carried out, using a novel phase noise cancellation method. The BER performance is in good agreement with the calculated results     

A multimode 0.3-200-kb/s transceiver for the 433/868/915-MHz bands in 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS

A fully integrated transceiver suitable for low-data-rate wireless telemetry and sensor networks operating in the license-free ISM frequency bands at 433, 868, or 915 MHz implemented in 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS is presented. G/FSK, ASK, and OOK modulation formats are supported at data rates from 0.3 to 200 kb/s. The transceiver's analog building blocks include a low-noise amplifier, mixer, channel filter, received signal-strength indication, frequency synthesizer, voltage-controlled oscillator, and power amplifier. FSK demodulation is implemented using a novel digital complex-frequency correlator that operates over a wide modulation-index range and approximates matched filter detection performance. Automatic gain control, automatic frequency control, and symbol timing recovery loops are included on chip. Operating in the 915-MHz band in FSK mode at 9.6 kb/s, the receiver consumes 19.7 mA from a 3-V supply and achieves a sensitivity of -112.8dBm at 0.1% BER. The transmitter consumes 28.5 mA for an output power of 10 dBm and delivers up to 14 dBm.     

UWB for multi-gigabit/s communications beyond 60 GHz

The recently allocated 71–76 GHz and 81–86 GHz bands provide an opportunity for realizing Line Of Sight (LOS) links for directional point-to-point “last mile” applications. An efficient use of this spectrum may allow wireless to finally “catch up” with wires, leading to systems such as “multi-Gigabit wireless Ethernet,” and “wireless fiber.” However, the transmission at such a frequency range is characterized by several additional challenges compared to lower frequency bands, from both technological and propagation point of view, which makes difficult to use them efficiently. In this scenario, IR (Impulse Radio) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) technology might offer some more degrees of freedom for the design of a highly integrated and low cost transceiver. This work has at its core the design and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance evaluation of an IR-UWB architecture based on an 85 GHz up-conversion stage of train of Gaussian pulses having duration lower than 1 ns. Finally, we compare performance of this architecture with the ones of a more traditional continuous wave communications system with FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation. Simulation results show that BER performance, in presence of RF non-linearities, for an IR-UWB transceiver architecture operating at 85 GHz (with same data rate and bandwidth) are better than a coherent BFSK scheme working in a similar scenario. Finally, some conclusions are reported, pointing out the UWB antenna design and the future works related to the modeling of the channel at frequencies beyond 60 GHz and the implementation of the test bed.     

M-ary FSK Performance for Coherent Optical Communication Systems Using Semiconductor Lasers

This paper describes the design and performance of anMary frequency shift keyed (FSK) signaling and demodulation scheme for an optical communication system using semiconductor lasers and heterodyne detection. Frequency or phase noise in semiconductor lasers causes spectral spreading, producing a nonzero linewidth laser signal. This degrades communication performance when compared to a system using an ideal laser with zero linewidth. We present estimates of the bit error rate (BER) performance ofM-ary frequency shift keying (FSK) with noncoherent demodulation in the presence of white Gaussian frequency noise and additive channel noise. This is typical of an optical system using semiconductor lasers and heterodyne detection. Estimates use the union-Chernoff bound with a simplified channel model to predict the effects of frequency noise. Two effects of frequency noise are identified: signal attenuation or suppression, and crosstalk. These cause an offset in the BER curve from the BER in the absence of frequency noise, and an error rate floor, respectively. The error rate floor is lower than previously predicted. When performance is not crosstalk limited,M-ary FSK is found to perform better than binary FSK with the same system bandwidth constraints, as would be predicted if ideal lasers are used. Theoretical results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations of the system.     

FSK Bit Synchronization by Combined AM

A bit-synchronization method in a frequency-shift-keying (FSK) data channel has been investigated experimentally and results are presented. The bit-timing information is conveyed by a square wave, with a frequency of half the data bit rate, modulated onto the signal amplitude. It has been shown that for a system using a peak-peak-to-peak frequency deviation of 0.7 times the bit rate and a receiver bandwidth restricted to 1 times the bit rate, the minimum error rates are obtained for an amplitude modulation index of 0.1. Further, in order for the system to have a performance comparable with an ordinary FSK system with the same values of frequency deviation and receiver predetection bandwidth and with perfect timing available at the receiver, an additional signal power of 0.9 dB is needed.     

Switched-diversity FSK in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading

This paper presents the measured performance of a 64 kbit/s switched-diversity FSK receiver subjected to simulated frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. The single receiver input is switched between two, three, or four uncorrelated Rayleigh-fading signals whenever the instantaneous receiver output falls below a threshold. The optimum level of this threshold relative to the mean signal level is relatively insensitive to frequency selectivity and vehicle speed. A nearly optimum threshold may be determined using an AGC amplifier and fixed comparator. Switched diversity is a powerful tool for combating frequency selectivity and Rayleigh fading. Two-branch switched diversity can achieve 10^-2BER, with 6 dB lower SNR than that needed without diversity. In the absence of frequency selectivity, two-branch switched diversity can perform within 3 dB SNR of maximal-ratio diversity and within 1 dB of selection diversity. Switched diversity can achieve BER's lower than the irreducible single-channel BER produced by frequency selectivity. Four-branch switched diversity typically requires 4 dB lower SNR to achieve a given BER than does two-branch switched diversity.     

On the architecture and performance of an FFT-based spread-spectrumdownlink RAKE receiver

This paper describes a spread-spectrum downlink RAKE receiver that computes data detection in the frequency domain. We assume a pilot signal is transmitted with data signals for channel sounding. The pilot signal does not degrade the receiver bit error rate (BER) performance because the receiver estimates the pilot signal and subtracts the estimated pilot signal from the received signal before data detection. A spreading code matched filter, a channel matched filter, and a sounding receiver are implemented by fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based matched filtering and integrated in a unified architecture. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the receiver BER performance in both a static channel and a mobile radio channel. Simulation results show that the RAKE receiver performs well in both kinds of channels

Theoretical analysis of phase diversity optical homodyne receiverwith FSK demodulation

A detailed analysis of optical coherent phase diversity single-filtered and dual-filtered frequency-shift keying (FSK) receivers corrupted by shot and phase noise is presented. With delay and cross-product detection, the effect of various parameters, including bandwidths of filters, delay time, frequency deviation and noises, are investigated. The tolerance of phase noise is quite large, when small time delay in the demodulator and appropriately large frequency deviation is selected. It is also shown that there exists an optimal bandwidth for the first filter in the dual-filtered FSK receiver. For a total linewidth equal to half of the bit rate, the power penalty incurred (at BER=10^-9) is 1.92 dB when the modulation index is 4, provided that an optimal filter bandwidth and a frequency deviation-delay product of 0.25 are used     

Analysis and design of a frequency-hopped spread-spectrumtransceiver for wireless personal communications

Personal communications services (PCS) require low-power radio technologies. One such transceiver architecture employing frequency-hopped spread-spectrum techniques is presented. System features such as antenna diversity with equal-gain combining and sequential hop combining are incorporated into the transceiver design to achieve robust wireless digital data transmission over fading channels. A direct-conversion architecture from radio frequency (RF) to baseband reduces the overall power consumption by eliminating intermediate frequency (IF) components. High-rate frequency hopping with frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation is implemented using a direct digital frequency synthesis technique. A multiplierless correlation FSK detector, suitable for direct-conversion receivers, has been designed for quadrature noncoherent detection. Robust acquisition algorithms based on energy detection and pattern matching and tracking architectures using digital phase-locked loops are also described for system synchronization. The proposed transceiver is well-suited for low-power PCS applications and other portable wireless communications     

Study of Optical Transmission Performance in IP‐over‐WDM Networks Based on FSK/ASK Combined Modulation Format

The transmission performance of optical labeling based on a combined frequency shift keying/amplitude shift keying (FSK/ASK) format is studied by numerical simulation. The simulation demonstrates that the bit‐error ratio (BER) characteristic of an ASK signal is limited by the extinction ratio, received optical power, and dispersion, simultaneously. However, an FSK signal is mainly limited by the extinction ratio (ER) and received optical power when the peak spectrum, which is used to detect the FSK signal, is relatively narrow.

A 1.7 Gb/s ASK and a 622 Mb/s incoherent FSK transmissionexperiment using a 1.55-μm multiquantum well distributed feedbacklaser

A multiple-quantum-well distributed-feedback (MQW-DFB) laser with narrow linewidth and low frequency chirp at low output power may experience linewidth rebroadening at high output power. the rebroadening is mostly due to a large carrier-induced change of refractive index, which also causes a large frequency modulation response for the MQW-DFB lasers. Using a 1.55-μm MQW-DFB laser, a 622-Mb/s amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) transmission experiment employing 200-km of fiber and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier has been demonstrated having a dispersion power penalty less than 9.8 dB. The receiver sensitivities at BER=10^-9 of the ASK system are -34.5 dBm and -42.5 dBm for 1.7-Gb/s and 622-Mb/s modulation, respectively. A 622-Mb/s incoherent frequency-shift-keying (FSK) transmission experiment using the same laser has also achieved a receiver sensitivity of -42.5 dBm     

A new correlator receiver architecture for noncoherent optical CDMAnetworks with bipolar capacity

A new correlator receiver architecture based on a modified version of unipolar-bipolar correlation is proposed for noncoherent optical fiber code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks. For this architecture, the receiver average bit-error rate (BER) performance is numerically evaluated as a function of the received optical power for noncoherent transmission and direct detection with the number of simultaneous users as a parameter. The BER performance is also evaluated by a closed-form formula that is developed in this paper. Comparison of the results from the latter with numerical results show that, the formula provides a good approximation to the system performance. Furthermore, the closed form solution suggests that the system can achieve the same capacity as a CDMA system using coherent detection     

A low-power baseband receiver IC for frequency-hopped spreadspectrum communications

A baseband receiver IC which will be incorporated into a low-power frequency-hopped spread spectrum (FH/SS) transceiver for 902-928 MHz ISM band applications is presented. The chip performs noncoherent binary/quaternary frequency shift keying (FSK) demodulation, equal-gain diversity combining of dual antenna branches, and symbol and frequency synchronization. The chip also accommodates variable data rates from 2 to 160 kb/s, programmable hop rates, and tunable bandwidth Loop filters. The core area of the 1-μm CMOS chip is 3.9 mm×3.9 mm with a power consumption of 4.5 mW at 10 MHz from a 3-V supply. A baseband transceiver system utilizing this receiver chip for the prototype handset to demonstrate a point-to-point communication link is also described. Two XILINX FPGA chips were used to implement the remainder of the baseband transceiver functions, including frequency control logic for FSK modulation, acquisition control, data framing, symbol interleaving and deinterleaving, and interface control for data and voice     

FSK detection using frequency estimator

It allows a complete digital implementation, and is robust in that knowledge of the frequency deviation and carrier phase is not required. The BER of the receiver is obtained using computer simulations     

低功耗人体通信射频收发器的设计

Human body communication is proposed as a promising body proximal communication technology for body sensor networks. To achieve low power and small volume in the sensor nodes, a Radio Frequency (RF) application-specific integrated circuit transceiver for Human Body Communication (HBC) is presented and the characteristics of HBC are investigated. A high data rate On-Off Keying (OOK)/Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) modulation protocol and an OOK/FSK demodulator circuit are introduced in this paper, with a data-rate-to-carrier-frequency ratio up to 70% . A low noise amplifier is proposed to handle the dynamic range problem and improve the sensitivity of the receiver path. In addition, a low power automatic-gain-control system is realized using a novel architecture, thereby rendering the peak detector circuit and loop filter unnecessary. Finally, the complete chip is fabricated. Simulation results suggest receiver sensitivity to be -75 dBm. The transceiver shows an overall power consumption of 3.2 mW when data rate is 5 Mbps, delivering a P1 dBoutput power of -30 dBm.     

Auxiliary-vector filters and adaptive steering for DS/CDMAsingle-user detection

Single-user detectors for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems are characterized by their architecture, the design optimality criterion, the optimization computational complexity, and ultimately by their average bit error rate (BER) performance. With a fixed tap-weight architecture that implies zero optimization cost, the conventional signature-matched correlator positions itself as the low-cost low-performance solution. This paper submits a proposal that maintains the same tap-weight architecture and introduces the concept of maximum cross-correlation auxiliary-vector filtering associated with minimum BER adaptive steering. Calculation of the auxiliary vector taps involves standard sample average estimation of the data autocorrelation matrix, and no matrix inversion operation is required. The resulting scalar parametrized filter is optimized adaptively in the minimum BER sense by a fast stochastic approximation recursion on ℛ. Simplicity and BER comparisons place the proposed receiver competitively on the cost versus performance curve. Numerical results under realistic small sample support scenarios support the theoretical developments and indicate that performance-wise the receiver compares favorably not only to the conventional matched-filter correlator, but also to the minimum-output-energy (MOE) detector the LMS-implemented minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) filter, and the multiuser decorrelating receiver that assumes perfectly known interfering user population     

The effect of spurious intensity modulation in semiconductor diode lasers on the performance of optical heterodyne frequency shift-keyed communications systems

Analytical expressions are derived for the bit-error rate (BER) of anM-ary frequency shift-keyed (FSK), heterodyne, optical communication system with noncoherent demodulation in the presence of spurious intensity modulation (SIM) and frequency noise. The SIM degradation of an FSK system, implemented with semiconductor diode lasers, is estimated for lasers with zero and nonzero linewidths and will be discussed for a distributed feedback laser operating at 1.5μm and a channeled substrate planer laser operating at 0.83 μm. The SIM power penalty is typically less than 1 dB, but can exceed 1 dB for 2-, 4-, and 8-ary FSK at data rates above 1 Gbit/s.
