Generation of Multi-Gigabit-per-Second MQAM/MPSK-Modulated Millimeter-Wave Carriers Employing Photonic Vector Modulator Techniques

In this paper, two photonic vector modulator (PVM) architectures are presented, and their use in generating multi-gigabit-per-second M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation/M-ary phase shift keying modulated RF carriers in the millimeter-wave frequency regime is experimentally demonstrated. First, a highly scalable photonic quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) architecture based on vector summation and dispersive delay lines, which directly generate multilevel signals from parallel in-phase and quadrature components, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated by generating up to 3-Gb/s quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), four-level amplitude shift keying, and eight-level QAM at 39-GHz-modulated carriers. The possibility of also detecting the baseband components is shown, which allows the simultaneous feeding of baseband/RF signals over the same infrastructure. This architecture is limited to a certain length of fiber, as the quadrature condition is obtained for a certain aggregated dispersion. To overcome this limitation, a second PVM architecture is proposed, which is based on the use of two Mach-Zehnder modulators in parallel and an optical delay line to obtain the quadrature condition. The generation of a 2-Gb/s QPSK signal is experimentally demonstrated, including a 1-km standard single-mode-fiber transmission.

Performance enhancement of overall LEO/MEO intersatellite optical wireless communication systems

This paper has deeply investigated the performance signature of modulation techniques based low earth orbit (LEO)/medium earth orbit (MEO) intersatellite optical wireless communication systems for possible communication coverage distance of 20 000 km with possible transmission bit rate of 0.5 Tb/s. These modulation techniques that are namely multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M‐QAM), multilevel phase shift keying (N‐PSK), multilevel pulse amplitude modulation (H‐PAM), and finally multilevel differential phase shift keying (L‐DPSK) based on different electrical pulse generators for upgrading LEO/MEO intersatellite link operation efficiency. These pulse generators that are namely Gaussian pulse generator (GPG), hyperbolic secant pulse generator (HSPG), and raised cosine pulse generator (RCPG). The variations of maximum Q‐factor, minimum bit error rate (BER), and optical signal‐to‐noise ratio in relation to number of bits/symbol for different modulation techniques can be deeply studied in the presence of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). This study is done with using Optiwave system simulation version 7 for different modulation techniques, and all figures are sketched with using wizard Excel sheet set up. It is observed that maximum Q‐factor and minimum BER are optimized with using GPG and 8‐PAM, as well as 4‐DPSK with both HSPG and RCPG.     

Corona Based Optimal Node Deployment Distribution in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper shows the trade off between different modulation techniques such as multi level quadrature amplitude modulation, multi level phase shift keying, and multi level differential phase shift keying for upgrading direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems with possible transmission distance up to 15,000 km and total bit rate of 2.56 Tb/s. The 2.56 Tb/s signal is generated by multiplexing 64 OFDM signals with 40 Gb/s for each OFDM. Variations of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and bit error rate (BER) are studied with the variations of transmission distance. Maximum radio frequency power spectrum, and output electrical power after decoder are measured for different multi level modulation techniques with carrier frequency. It is observed that multi level QAM has presented better performance than multi level PSK and finally multi level DPSK in optical OFDM systems. Maximum output power after decoder is enhanced with both 32-PSK, and 64-QAM. Quadrature signal amplitude level at encoder is upgraded with 64-QAM. It is noticed that OSNR, SNR, and BER are improved using 4-QAM OFDM system than either QPSK or 4-DPSK.     

Coherent quadrature phase shift keying optical communication systems

Coherent optical fiber communications for data rates of 100 Gbit/s and beyond have recently been studied extensively because high sensitivity of coherent receivers could extend the transmission distance. Spectrally efficient modulation techniques such as M-ary phase shift keying (PSK) can be employed for coherent optical links. The integration of multi-level modulation formats based on coherent technologies with wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems is vital to meet the aggregate bandwidth demand. This paper reviews coherent quadrature PSK (QPSK) systems to scale the network capacity and maximum reach of coherent optical communication systems to accommodate traffic growth.

Influence of nonlinear effects on 6.4 Tb/s dual polarization quadrature phase shift keying modulated dense wavelength division multiplexed system

In this paper, we have proposed a high‐performance transmission system of 32 channels based on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) through an optical fiber link consisting of 110 km per span. To check the influence of nonlinear effects, we have considered phase modulation (SPM), cross‐phase modulation (XPM), four‐wave mixing (FWM), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and self‐steepening (SS) which limits the performance of optical communication systems. In the proposed system, each channel is modulated at 200 Gbps of dual‐polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP‐QPSK) format, with a 50‐GHz grid yield whole data rate of 6.4 Tbps. The results have proved that the nonlinear phenomena degrade the performance of proposed optical fiber communication systems, and XPM has the most dominant effect, followed by SS, SRS, and SPM. The simulation was carried out with Optisystem 14 which is powerful software for modeling and simulation of optical fiber transmission.     

A code-aided carrier synchronization algorithm based on improved nonbinary low-density parity-check codes

In order to further improve the carrier synchronization estimation range and accuracy at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), this paper proposes a code-aided carrier synchronization algorithm based on improved nonbinary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes to study the polarization-division-multiplexing coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-CO-OFDM) system performance in the cases of quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) modes. The simulation results indicate that this algorithm can enlarge frequency and phase offset estimation ranges and enhance accuracy of the system greatly, and the bit error rate (BER) performance of the system is improved effectively compared with that of the system employing traditional NB-LDPC code-aided carrier synchronization algorithm.     

QPSK, Staggered QPSK, and MSK--A Comparative Evaluation

Bandwidth- and power-efficient quadrature carrier modulation techniques are identified, evaluated, and compared. The modulation techniques include quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), staggered QPSK (SQPSK), and minimum (frequency) shift keying (MSK). High quality QPSK, SQPSK, and MSK transmitters and receivers were used in the evaluation, along with a computer simulation program which modeled the hardware. Both linear and nonlinear channels were included in the comparative investigation. The agreement between simulated and measured results is shown to be excellent. In the comparison of modulation techniques, the effects of channel filtering (band limiting), nonlinearities, detection techniques, and phase equalization are addressed. The application-oriented results are intended to be an aid in selecting modulation and detection implementations, and in predicting the performance of linear and nonlinear communication systems. For systems with imperfections, data are presented for determination of passive detection filters which can outperform "matched" integrate and dump (I&D) filters.

Nonlinear Kerr interactions between modulated waves propagating ina single-mode fiber

The interactions induced by the nonlinear refractive index in a single-mode optical fiber (Kerr effect) between a modulated wave and a carrier wave have been investigated for amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), and phase shift keying (PSK). The theoretical analysis, based on a time-domain solution, exploits the well-known formalism of self-phase modulation to describe the propagation of the input electric field in the fiber. The theoretical results were validated experimentally for amplitude- and phase-modulated waves with heterodyne detection techniques. These experiments mimic a coherent transmission system and allow the measurement of the spectrum of each of the waves that participate in the nonlinear interaction

Transmission Performance Comparison of Direction Detection‐Based 100‐Gb/s Modulation Formats for Metro Area Optical Networks

Transmission performances of direct detection‐based 100‐Gb/s modulation formats are investigated and compared for metro area optical networks. The effects of optical signal‐to‐noise ratio sensitivity, chromatic dispersion, cross‐channel nonlinearity, and transmission distance on the performance of differential 8‐ary phase‐shift keying (D8PSK), differential phase‐shift keying plus three‐level amplitude‐shift keying (DPSK+3ASK), and dual‐carrier differential quaternary phase‐shift keying (DC‐DQPSK) are evaluated. The performance of coherent dual‐polarization quadrature phase‐shift keying (DP‐QPSK) with block phase estimation and coherent DP‐QPSK with digital differential detection are also presented for reference. According to our analysis, all three direct detection modulation formats could transmit a 100‐Gb/s signal over several hundred kilometers of a single‐mode fiber link. The results also show that DC‐DQPSK outperforms D8PSK and DPSK+3ASK, and the performance of DC‐DQPSK is comparable to that of coherent DP‐QPSK with digital differential detection. The maximum transmission distance of DC‐DQPSK is over 1,000 km, which is enough distance for metro applications.

Performance analysis of dual-hop fixed-gain AF relaying systems with OSTBC over Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper, we present outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) performance analyses of a dual-hop transmission using fixed-gain amplify-and-forward relaying in flat Nakagami-m fading channels. The system under consideration is equipped with multiple antennas at source and destination adopting orthogonal space-time block coding to provide transmit diversity and maximum ratio combining to provide receive diversity, respectively. For integer and half-integer m values, closed forms of exact outage probability and moment generating function (MGF) expressions are derived through cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the overall system signal-to-noise ratio. Closed-form exact SER expressions based on the overall CDF are obtained for binary phase shift keying, binary frequency shift keying and M-ary pulse amplitude modulation. Exact SER expressions based on the MGF method are also obtained for binary differential phase shift keying, M-ary phase shift keying and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation. Moreover, the asymptotic diversity order analysis is performed through derivations of asymptotic outage probability and SER. Theoretical analyses are validated by Monte Carlo simulations showing perfect match between each other.     

CDMA-SFBC Downlink Performance

In this paper a generic code division multiple access (CDMA)-space frequency block coded (SFBC) system for downlink transmission is proposed. Closed form expressions for the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed CDMA-SFBC downlink system are derived and numerically evaluated considering different scenarios. The closed form BER expressions are derived for both the M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) and the M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) techniques considering different CDMA-SFBC configurations. The BER expressions are evaluated for a wide range of system parameters assuming Rayleigh fading. These parameters include M-ary size and channel estimation error variance. Such evaluations are crucial not only for system performance prediction, but also for network management, monitoring and future cross-layer design.
