相干光OFDM系统中基于导频辅助的采样时钟频率偏差估计和补偿算法

基于导频辅助法,对相干光正交频分复用系统中采样时钟频率偏差进行估计和补偿,并研究了导频的插入位置对该算法补偿效果的影响,通过对五种不同的导频插入位置进行分析和比较,得到最优导频插入位置.仿真结果表明:本文算法即使在较大的频率偏移情况下也有较好的补偿效果,并且采用该方法得到的光信噪比损耗不到1dB,可以有效地降低系统成本;不同导频插入位置对算法的补偿效果会产生影响,在较小采样频率偏移范围内时,导频平均插入方式为最优.如果采样频率偏移量较大,在导频平均插入不能很好地补偿的情况下,导频应尽量插在低频位置.     

Performance comparison between digital back propagation (DBP) and pilot-aided method for fiber nonlinearity compensation in different fiber links

We numerically investigate and compare the performance of fiber nonlinearity compensation using digital back propagation (DBP) method and pilot-aided method in coherent optical transmission systems using different fiber links. Simulations for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) 112 Gb/s polarization division multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PDM-QPSK) systems with dispersion unmanaged (no DM) and dispersion managed (DM) fiber links are implemented. System Q-factor and maximum transmission distance at bit error rate (BER) of 3.8 ÿ 10^?3 are calculated for performance comparison. The results show that, for system with no DM fiber link, DBP method outperforms pilot-aided method, because DBP method has better performance for intra-channel fiber nonlinearity compensation. However, for system with DM fiber link where inter-channel fiber nonlinearity plays an important role, pilot-aided method performs better than DBP method, because of its ability for inter-channel fiber nonlinearity compensation.
