Symbol-interleaved precoding technique for DDO-OFDM systems with the KK receiver
Optics Express
|December 16, 2022
Summary
We propose a new DFT/Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) precoding technique for direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) systems. This method improves receiver sensitivity and bit error rate (BER) performance with Kramers-Kronig (KK) receivers.
Area of Science:
- Optical Communications
- Signal Processing
Background:
- Kramers-Kronig (KK) receivers enhance direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) sensitivity.
- KK algorithms struggle with high signal-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in OFDM, causing distortions.
- Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) precoding reduces PAPR but can increase it due to chromatic dispersion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To mitigate signal distortions in KK receivers for DDO-OFDM systems.
- To improve bit error rate (BER) performance in DDO-OFDM transmission.
- To enhance receiver sensitivity in medium-reach DDO-OFDM systems.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a novel DFT/Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) precoding technique combined with symbol interleaving.
- Applied the technique to DDO-OFDM systems utilizing KK receivers.
- Evaluated performance through simulations, including up to 1000km of single-mode fiber transmission.
Main Results:
- The proposed DFT/WHT precoding effectively reduces PAPR and equalizes subcarrier and inter-symbol signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
- Achieved up to a one-order-of-magnitude BER improvement at a 6 dB carrier-to-signal power ratio (CSPR).
- Demonstrated significant performance gains compared to conventional DFT precoding.
Conclusions:
- The DFT/WHT precoding with symbol interleaving effectively combats KK algorithm-induced distortions.
- The technique enhances receiver sensitivity and BER performance in DDO-OFDM systems.
- This method is suitable for improving medium-reach DDO-OFDM transmission systems employing KK receivers.

Receiver Operating Characteristic Plot
310
A ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) plot is a graphical tool used to assess the performance of a binary classification model by illustrating the trade-off between sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (false positive rate). By plotting sensitivity against 1 - specificity across various threshold settings, the ROC curve shows how well the model distinguishes between classes, with a curve closer to the top-left corner indicating a more accurate model. The area under the ROC curve...

Double Resonance Techniques: Overview
262
Double resonance techniques in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy involve the simultaneous application of two different frequencies or radiofrequency pulses to manipulate and observe two distinct nuclear spins. One important application of double resonance is spin decoupling, which selectively suppresses coupling with one type of nucleus while observing the NMR signal from another nucleus, simplifying the spectrum and enhancing resolution.

Discrete-time Fourier transform
428
The Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is an essential mathematical tool for analyzing discrete-time signals, converting them from the time domain to the frequency domain. This transformation allows for examining the frequency components of discrete signals, providing insights into their spectral characteristics. In the DTFT, the continuous integral used in the continuous-time Fourier transform is replaced by a summation to accommodate the discrete nature of the signal.

Second Order systems II
146
In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

Frequency-Domain Interpretation of PD Control
160
Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers are widely used in fan control systems to improve stability and performance. A fan control system can be effectively represented using a Bode plot to illustrate the impact of a PD controller through its transfer function. The Bode plot visually conveys how PD control modifies the fan's response across various frequencies, providing a frequency domain interpretation of the controller's behavior.

The unit step sequence is defined as 1 for zero and positive values of the integer n. This sequence can be graphically displayed using a set of eight sample points, showing a step function starting from n=0 and remaining constant thereafter.
The unit impulse or sample sequence is mathematically expressed as zero for all n values except at n=0, where it is one. The unit impulse sequence, denoted by δ(n), is the first difference of the unit step sequence, while the unit step sequence u(n) is...
