Abstract:
A simple channel estimation (CE) scheme, which is pilot-aided with just a little number of pilots inserted in the first half part of the subcarriers, is proposed and simulated for resisting the fiber dispersion in optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The simulation results verify that the receiver sensitivity is improved by 2–3 dBm for bit error rate (BER) of 10?3 with the proposed CE algorithm than that with other kinds of CE algorithms based on linear square principle. The good constellation performance for a 40 Gbit/s transmission system can be also obtained by the proposed scheme.
