Performance Analysis of 16-Channel Hybrid WDM- CSRZ-DQPSK PON for Different Transmission Speeds and Distances
Abstract
—Sixteen
channel
wavelength-division-multiplexed
passive optical network (WDM-PON) based on one Mach-Zehnder
modulator and carrier suppressed return to zero differential
quadrature phase-shift keying (CSRZ-DQPSK) transmitter is designed
and evaluated for various bit rates (20 Gbps to 80 Gbps). The effect of
changes in transmission distance with increased bit rate is also
discussed and hence quality factors and bit error rates are analyzed to
evaluate their performances. The relation between transmission
distance, quality factor (Q factor) and bit error rate (BER) have been
focused to determine the optimized result.
Keywords—Mach-Zehnder modulator, dual-drive (DD) Mach
Zehnder modulation, carrier suppressed return to zero differential
quadrature phase-shift keying, wavelength-division-multiplexing,
passive optical network, bit error rate, quality factor.
