Abstract: | An interesting phenomenon due to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is experimentally found in a CPFSK heterodyne system with a booster amplifier. We find that the demodulated waveform amplitudes of just a few distinguished bits are strongly suppressed leading to a significant increase in BER. It is confirmed that the BER degradation can be reduced by adjusting the threshold voltage bias of the receiver decision circuit |
