Bandpass sampling based digital coherent receiver with free-running local oscillator laser for phase-modulated
Abstract:
A bandpass sampling based digital coherent receiver is presented for phase modulated radio-over-fiber links with coherent detection. In the scheme, the bandpass sampling technique is introduced in RoF systems to overcome the high sampling rate requirement and front-end hardware dependency of conventional digtal coherent receivers. In particular, the selection rule of bandpass sampling rate was defined by taking into account the frequency offset induced by free-running optical local oscillator. Analytical assessment and simulations are used to determine the ultimate performance in terms of tolerances to ADC bit resolution and laser linewidth. Thereafter, a 40Mbps QPSK modulated data signal at 2.4GHz RF carrier frequency is experimentally demonstrated over the proposed 50.6-km radio-over-fiber link employing bandpass sampling.
