To achieve a high dynamic range and fast response, the circuit is DC coupled, and a feed-back type peak detector is designed to perform auto-gaincontrol and threshold extraction. Regulated cascade （RGC） architecture is exploited as the input stage to reduce the input impedance of the circuit and isolate the large parasitic capacitance including the photodiode capacitance from the determination pole, thus increasing the bandwidth. This preamplifier is implemented using the low-cost 0. 13 ixm CMOS technology. The die area is 425 μm × 475 μm and the total power dissipation is 23.4 mW. The test results indicate that the preamplifier can work at a speed from 1.25 to 10.312 5 Gbit/s, providing a high transimpedance gain of 64.0 dBΩ and a low gain of 54. 6 dBl2 with a dynamic input range of over 22.9 dB. The equivalent input noise current is 23. 4 pA/ Hz1/2. The proposed burst amplifier satisfies related specifications defined in 10G-EPON and XG-PON standards.展开更多

The schemes of dispersion compensation and nonli near distortion self-compens ation in telecom-CATV co-network transmission systems are reported, followed by investigation on (1) the impact of dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) on fi ber nonlinear effects with a cascade of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) an d different dispersion compensation schemes, (2) the impact of the complex on th e total nonlinear distortion induced by EDFA gain tilt and the light source. As a result , dispersion compensation optimal scheme and EDFA negative gain tilt are suggest ed as a solution to dispersion compensation and the nonlinear distortion self-c ompensation.展开更多

Nevertheless, in wideband communication systems, PA memory effects can no longer be ignored and memoryless predistortion cannot linearize PAs effectively. After analyzing PA memory effects, a novel predistortion method based on wavelet networks (WNs) is proposed to linearize wideband RF power amplifiers. A complex wavelet network with tapped delay lines is applied to construct the predistorter and then a complex backpropagation algorithm is developed to train the predistorter parameters. The simulation results show that compared with the previously published feed-forward neural network predistortion method, the proposed method provides faster convergence rate and better performance in reducing out-of-band spectral regrowth.展开更多
