We analytically study received waveform asymmetries induced by chromatic dispersion (CD) for signed CD monitoring in differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) systems and show that the asymmetries are results of differential detection and the ±π/4 phase shifters used in conventional DQPSK receivers. The theoretical insights developed help explain various published results on signed CD ...

© 2009 Goran T. Djordjevic et al. 619 ABSTRACT⎯In this letter, we study the influence of receiver imperfections on bit error rate (BER) degradations in detecting low-density parity-check coded multilevel phase-shift keying signals transmitted over a Rician fading channel. Based on the analytical system model which we previously developed using Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the BER degra...

The performance of polarization multiplexed, quadrature phase shift keying (PM QPSK) and polarization multiplexed 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (PM 16-QAM) is considered with an emphasis on the signal processing algorithms that compensate transmission impairments and implement key receiver functions.

Benefiting from the high spectrum efficiency and power efficiency, 6PolSK-QPSK (6-ary polarization-shift keying quadrature phase-shift keying) is a promising modulation format in coherent optical communication. We proposed a novel structure to generate the 6PolSK-QPSK with two dual-drive MZMs. Simulation results show that the proposed structure can generate 6PolSK-QPSK effectively and the perfo...

This thesis covers the analysis of several schemes for parametric processing in fiberoptic communication systems, focusing mainly on phase-sensitive processing. Vector phase-sensitive amplifiers are characterized and phase regeneration of a dualpolarization (DP)-binary phase-shift keying signal (BPSK) signal is experimentally demonstrated. Theoretically, the requirements for achieving polarizat...

Adaptive digital modulation in the optical domain is performed using an integrated optical modulator with a high symbol rate of 10 Gbaud. The optical digital-to-analogue conversion technique that employs an optical IQ modulator and a dual-polarization quadrature-phase-shift-keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is applicable to binary PSK, QPSK, and 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation. Analogue modulat...

In this paper we describe a multiple-access protocol in which different users are assumed to share the same bandwidth and the same pulse. Users employ the same modulation (binary-phase shift keying, quadrature-phase shift keying, and rectangular-phase shift keying are considered) with different transmitted magnitude, and are discriminated on the basis of the corresponding magnitude at receiver ...

A beamforming algorithm is introduced based on the general objective function that approximates the bit error rate for the wireless systems with binary phase shift keying and quadrature phase shift keying modulation schemes. The proposed minimum approximate bit error rate (ABER) beamforming approach does not rely on the Gaussian assumption of the channel noise. Therefore, this approach is also ...
