|November 2, 2019
Summary
This study introduces an effective entropy loading (EL) scheme for single sideband discrete multi-tone (SSB-DMT) systems. The proposed hybrid constellation entropy loading (HCEL) with optimal partitioning significantly improves receiver sensitivity for optical transmission.
Area of Science:
- Optical Communications
- Digital Signal Processing
- Information Theory
Background:
- Single sideband discrete multi-tone (SSB-DMT) systems are crucial for high-speed optical communication.
- Entropy loading (EL) is a technique to optimize data transmission by adapting to channel conditions.
- Existing EL methods can be complex and computationally intensive.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a practical and effective entropy loading (EL) scheme for SSB-DMT systems.
- To enhance system performance by optimizing probabilistically shaped quadrature amplitude modulation (PS-QAM) constellations.
- To reduce the complexity of EL implementation while maintaining high data rates.
Main Methods:
- Adaptive subcarrier partitioning and precoding.
- Utilizing information bits per symbol (IBPS) to identify optimal PS-QAM.
- Implementing hybrid constellation entropy loading (HCEL) with equally partitioned precoding (EPP) and optimally partitioned precoding (OPP).
- Constraining performance by normalized generalized mutual information (NGMI) of forward error correction (FEC).
Main Results:
- HCEL with OPP significantly reduces the number of distribution matchers to 3.
- Negligible loss in net data rate (NDR) is observed with HCEL.
- HCEL with OPP achieves a 4.4 dB receiver sensitivity gain over conventional methods.
- HCEL with EPP offers a 1.2 dB gain over EPP at 60 Gb/s over 80 km SMF.
Conclusions:
- The proposed HCEL with OPP is a practical and competitive solution for EL in SSB-DMT systems.
- This method offers significant receiver sensitivity improvements for short-to-medium reach optical transmissions.
- The reduced complexity makes this approach suitable for real-world deployment.

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I
64.9K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Valence Bond Theory and Hybridized Orbitals
27.2K
According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom, and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair. The strength of a covalent bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals involved. Maximum overlap is possible when the orbitals overlap on a direct line between the two nuclei.

Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients
4.5K
The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also known as the partition law, states that if a solute is added to the mixture of two immiscible solvents at a constant temperature, the solute is distributed between the two solvents in such a way that the ratio of solute concentrations in the solvents remains constant at equilibrium.

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
1.4K
Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
1.7K
A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...
