Dual pulse shaping transmission with complementary nyquist pulses
© 2019 IEEE. The concept of complementary Nyquist pulse is introduced in this paper. Making use of a half rate Nyquist pulse and its complementary one, a dual pulse shaping transmission scheme is proposed, which achieves full Nyquist rate transmission with only a half of the sampling rate required by conventional Nyquist pulse shaping. This is essential for realizing high-speed digital communication systems with available and affordable data conversion devices. The condition for cross-symbol interference free transmission with the proposed dual pulse shaping is proved in theory, and two classes of ideal complementary Nyquist pulses are formulated assuming raised-cosine pulse shaping. Simulation results are also presented to demonstrate the improved spectral efficiency with dual pulse shaping and compare other system performance against conventional Nyquist pulse shaping
Dispersive Fourier Transformation for Versatile Microwave Photonics Applications
Abstract: Dispersive Fourier transformation (DFT) maps the broadband spectrum of an ultrashort optical pulse into a time stretched waveform with its intensity profile mirroring the spectrum using chromatic dispersion. Owing to its capability of continuous pulse-by-pulse spectroscopic measurement and manipulation, DFT has become an emerging technique for ultrafast signal generation and processing, and high-throughput real-time measurements, where the speed of traditional optical instruments falls short. In this paper, the principle and implementation methods of DFT are first introduced and the recent development in employing DFT technique for widespread microwave photonics applications are presented, with emphasis on real-time spectroscopy, microwave arbitrary waveform generation, and microwave spectrum sensing. Finally, possible future research directions for DFT-based microwave photonics techniques are discussed as well
Time-Frequency Packing for High Capacity Coherent Optical Links
We consider realistic long-haul optical links, with linear and nonlinear
impairments, and investigate the application of time-frequency packing with
low-order constellations as a possible solution to increase the spectral
efficiency. A detailed comparison with available techniques from the literature
will be also performed. We will see that this technique represents a feasible
solution to overcome the relevant theoretical and technological issues related
to this spectral efficiency increase and could be more effective than the
simple adoption of high-order modulation formats.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Asynchronous CDMA Systems with Random Spreading-Part I: Fundamental Limits
Spectral efficiency for asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA)
with random spreading is calculated in the large system limit allowing for
arbitrary chip waveforms and frequency-flat fading. Signal to interference and
noise ratios (SINRs) for suboptimal receivers, such as the linear minimum mean
square error (MMSE) detectors, are derived. The approach is general and
optionally allows even for statistics obtained by under-sampling the received
signal.
All performance measures are given as a function of the chip waveform and the
delay distribution of the users in the large system limit. It turns out that
synchronizing users on a chip level impairs performance for all chip waveforms
with bandwidth greater than the Nyquist bandwidth, e.g., positive roll-off
factors. For example, with the pulse shaping demanded in the UMTS standard,
user synchronization reduces spectral efficiency up to 12% at 10 dB normalized
signal-to-noise ratio. The benefits of asynchronism stem from the finding that
the excess bandwidth of chip waveforms actually spans additional dimensions in
signal space, if the users are de-synchronized on the chip-level. The analysis
of linear MMSE detectors shows that the limiting interference effects can be
decoupled both in the user domain and in the frequency domain such that the
concept of the effective interference spectral density arises. This generalizes
and refines Tse and Hanly's concept of effective interference.
In Part II, the analysis is extended to any linear detector that admits a
representation as multistage detector and guidelines for the design of low
complexity multistage detectors with universal weights are provided
