By injecting the compensation current into the passive loop filter during the delay time of the phase frequency detector（PFD）,a maximum reduction of the phase noise by about 16dB can be achieved. Compared to other compensation methods,the technique proposed here is relatively simple and easy to implement. Key building blocks for realizing the noise cancellation,including the delay variable PFD and compensation current source, are specially designed. Both the behavior level and circuit level simulation results are presented.展开更多

Based on the algorithm of Viterbi-Viterbi cartier phase estimation （CPE）, the effects of LPN imposed on the coherent receivers are investigated for quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK）, 8 phase shift keying （SPSK） and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation （16-QAM） optical coherent systems, respectively. The simulation results show that the optimal block length in the phase estimation algorithm is a tradeoffbetween LPN and additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN）, and depends on the level of modulation formats. The resolution requirements of analog to digital converter （ADC） in the coherent receivers are independent of LPN or the level of modulation formats. For the bit error rate （BER） of 10-3, the required bit number of ADC is 6, and the gain is marginal for the higher resolution.展开更多
