analysis of a parallel two-box digital polynomial predistorter for an SOA-based CO-OFDM system. Optics Communications, Elsevier, 2017, 402, pp.442 -452. 10.1016/j.optcom.2017 The linearization performance of various digital baseband pre-distortion schemes is evaluated in this paper for a coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) transmitter employing a semiconductor optical amplif er (SOA). In particular, the benef ts of using a parallel two-box (PTB) behavioral model, combining a static nonlinear function with a memory polynomial (MP) model, is investigated for mitigating the system nonlinearities and compared to the memoryless and MP models. Moreover, the robustness of the predistorters under different operating conditions and system uncertainties is assessed based on a precise SOA physical model. The PTB scheme proves to be the most effective linearization technique for the considered setup, with an excellent performance-complexity tradeoff over a wide range of conditions.
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.
