Computational complexity comparison of single-carrier DMT and conventional DMT in data center interconnect
Optics Express
|June 30, 2019
Summary
Single Carrier-Discrete Multitone (SC-DMT) with reduced computational complexity outperforms conventional DMT (CDMT). This novel approach improves receiver sensitivity and maintains performance, even with Fast Hartley Transform implementation.
Area of Science:
- Optical communication systems
- Signal processing in telecommunications
Background:
- High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in discrete multitone (DMT) systems causes nonlinear distortion.
- Single Carrier-DMT (SC-DMT) reduces PAPR but increases computational complexity.
- Reducing transceiver computational complexity is crucial for SC-DMT viability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To experimentally compare SC-DMT and conventional DMT (CDMT) performance.
- To investigate SC-DMT performance with reduced computational complexity.
- To evaluate the impact of Fast Hartley Transform (FHT) on SC-DMT complexity and performance.
Main Methods:
- Experimental comparison of SC-DMT and CDMT systems.
- Reduction of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size in SC-DMT transceiver.
- Implementation of FHT to replace FFT in SC-DMT transceiver.
Main Results:
- SC-DMT with a smaller FFT size (1024-point) showed improved receiver sensitivity (0.7 dB) compared to CDMT (8192-point FFT).
- This performance improvement was observed for both 120 Gb/s 64QAM-DMT and 140 Gb/s 128QAM-DMT signals over 2-km SMF.
- FHT-based SC-DMT achieved similar bit error rate (BER) performance as FFT-based SC-DMT while halving transceiver computational complexity.
Conclusions:
- SC-DMT with reduced transceiver computational complexity can outperform CDMT.
- Employing FHT offers significant computational complexity reduction for SC-DMT without compromising BER performance.
- This research presents a viable path for more efficient and performant DMT systems.

Electron Carriers

Electron carriers can be thought of as electron shuttles. These compounds can easily accept electrons (i.e., be reduced) or lose them (i.e., be oxidized). They play an essential role in energy production because cellular respiration is contingent on the flow of electrons.
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number
11.4K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Carrier Transport

The generation of electrical current in semiconductors is fundamentally driven by two mechanisms: drift and diffusion. These processes are essential for the functionality and performance of semiconductor-based devices.
Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:

Sign Convention
3.4K
When analyzing a beam subjected to various loads, it is crucial to understand the internal forces and moments generated within the structure. These internal forces can be broadly classified into normal forces, shear forces, and bending moments. To determine these forces and moments, we use the method of sections and apply a specific sign convention based on their direction and the side of the section being analyzed.
The normal force acts perpendicular to the beam's cross-section and can...

Center of Gravity
6.6K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...
