Biphase coding is used as a method to eliminate the unwanted influence of nonuniform laser characteristics in FSK transmission systems. Compared to other (ternary) linecoding schemes, biphase has the advantage that it does not give a 3-dB sensitivity penalty when properly decoded in the receiver. This has been demonstrated in a 140-Mbit/s 280-Mbaud transmission experiment. The receiver features a new type of reliable unambiguous clock extraction. Due to compact IF spectrum, as compared with ternary linecoding schemes, biphase equipped FSK systems are especially suited for efficiently spaced coherent multichannel (CMC) systems. FSK heterodyne transmission experiments show a sensitivity 0 P of -56.7 dBm for 2'' -1 pseudorandom patterns, only 4.8 dB from the shot-noise limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
