Compensation of quadrature imbalance in an optical coherent OQPSK receiver in presence of frequency offset

In this paper,we describe the impact of quadrature imbalance (QI) in the presence of frequency offset in an optical coherent offset quadrature phase shift keying (OQPSK) receiver.Arbitrary conjugate misalignment was realized in a 2×4 90° optical hybrid,and the ellipse correction (EC) method of quadrature imbalance was applied in our simulation.In the case of transmission,the EC method can significantly improve the system performance.

大多普勒频偏SOQPSK信号FFT引导COSTAS环载波跟踪技术

SOQPSK信号包络恒定、相位连续,拥有很高的功率、频谱效率,在卫星通信、深空通信、航空遥测等系统中具有广泛的应用前景.为保证SOQPSK信号能够适应上述系统较大的载波多普勒平移,本文提出一种FFT引导COSTAS环的SOQPSK信号载波跟踪技术.算法首先利用FFT粗略估计多普勒频率,将载波频偏牵引至较小的误差范围,再利用改进的COSTAS环跟踪载波残差及相位误差,进而实现了对大频偏SOQPSK信号载波的稳态跟踪.仿真结果表明,本文所提算法不仅能够跟踪大频偏载波,而且在小频偏时性能亦优于传统方法.     

Performance of low density parity check coded continuous phase frequency shift keying (LDPCC‐CPFSK) over fading channels

In this paper, in order to improve bit error performance, bandwidth efficiency and reduction of complexity compared to related schemes such as turbo codes, we combine low density parity check (LDPC) codes and continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) modulation and introduce a new scheme, called ‘low density parity check coded‐continuous phase frequency shift keying (LDPCC‐CPFSK)’. Since LDPC codes have very large Euclidean distance and use iterative decoding algorithms, they have high error correcting capacity and have very close performances to Shannon limit. In all communication systems, phase discontinuities of modulated signals result extra bandwidth requirements. Continuous phase modulation (CPM) is a powerful solution for this problem. Beside CPM provides good bandwidth efficiency; it also improves bit error performance with its memory unit. In our proposed scheme, LDPC and CPFSK, which is a special type of CPM, are considered together to improve both error performance and bandwidth efficiencies. We also obtain error performance curves of LDPCC‐CPFSK via computer simulations for both regular and irregular LDPC code. Simulation results are drawn for 4‐ary CPFSK, 8‐ary CPFSK and 16‐ary CPFSK over AWGN, Rician and Rayleigh fading channels for maximum 100 iterations, while the frame size is chosen as 504.

Generation of 40 GHz phase stable optical short pulses using intensity modulator and two cascaded phase modulators

Pulse sources based on lithium niobate modulators are very attractive for optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) transmission systems because the modulators are now commercially available,qualified for system use,and can operate up to very high speeds and over a wide wavelength range.In this paper,we describe the principles of operation and performance of the pulse source based on lithium niobate modulators.The pulse source is based on a Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator (IM) and two phase modulators (PMs).The continuouswave (CW) light is modulated in an IM and then strongly phase modulated in two cascaded PMs.The chirped pulses are subsequently compressed to desired width using dispersion compensation technology.This method has the advantage of acquiring larger chirp using normal PM rather than that special designed PM of very low Vπ.It can also generate shorter pulses than conventional methods incorporating only one PM driving by a radio frequency (RF) signal with the power larger than 1 W which may damage the device.Generation of 40 GHz optical pulses shorter than 2 ps is theoretically illustrated,simulated and experimentally verified.Experimental results show that 40 GHz phase stable optical pulses with pulse-width of 1.88 ps,extinction ratio (ER) larger than 20 dB,the timing jitter of 57 fs and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 32.8 dB can be achieved.This is also a cavity-less pulse source whose timing jitter is determined only by the RF source rather than by the actively controlled cavity.In the experiment,the phase noise of the RF source we used is as low as -98.13 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency which resulting very low timing jitter of generated pulses.The pulses are then modulated at 40 Gbaud/s with an inphase/quadrature (l/Q) modulator and multiplexed to 160 Gbaud/s with less interference between each other.After back-to-back demultiplexing by an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) to 40 Gbaud/s and demodulation by a delay interferometer (DI),clear and opened eye diagrams of 40 Gbaud/s I and Q tributary signals are obtained which verify the good performance of generated pulses in the 160Gbaud/s differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) OTDM system and further prove the phase stability and high quality of generated pulses.

Performances of adaptive modulation and coding in satellite mobile channel

Given that satellite mobile channel is a time-varying channel,Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) was proposed to provide robust and spectrally efficient transmission over satellite mobile channel.Three different kinds of channel environment were considered in this paper:the urban area,the rural area,and the open space.Four combinations of modulation and coding were designed to meet reliable communication on time-varying channel,and spectral efficiency and system throughput of these three kinds of channel environment were simulated.Based on the simulation results,this paper analysed the results and compared the performances of AMC with non-AMC system in these three kinds of channel environment.At last,we come to the conclusions:a system with AMC can achieve higher spectral efficiency and better system throughput; and the spectral efficiency and system throughput of AMC system will be higher on better satellite mobile channel.
