Performance of electronic dispersion compensator for 10Gb/s multimode fiber links

In high-speed optical links, electronic compensation circuits can be utilized to greatly improve the data transmission performance limited by fiber dispersion. In this paper, we develop a full link model, including multimode fibers, optical/electronics/optical components, clock-and-data recovery and electronic compensation circuits. The performance of various electronic compensation techniques, such as feed-forward equalizer and decision feedback equalizer for optical multimode fiber is investigated and numerically evaluated. Finally, a comparison of the performance of each compensation techniques and a proposal of optimal equalizer circuit implementation, achieving a 10-Gb/s transmission over 1-km standard multimode fiber are presented

GNSS Spoofing Detection by Crowdsourcing Double Differential Pseudorange Spatial Distribution

It is widely known that spoofing is a major threat that adversely impacts the reliability and accuracy of GNSS applications. In this study, a crowdsourcing double differential pseudorange spatial (D2SP) random set is constructed and the distribution of the set is derived.Based on the variance of the D2SP set, a tri-level hypothesis detection algorithm is designed to classify spoofing-free, fully-spoofed, and partially-spoofed cases in the region of interest (ROI).It does not require the prior knowledge of the truth positions or relative distances of the receivers.Simulation test results show that the proposed D2SP spoofing detection method has the advantages of lower computational complexity and higher tolerance for multipath errors compared with the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) method that is the current mainstream spoofing detection algorithm based on multiple receivers' differential pseudoranges.Moreover, it also shows better flexibility for different sizes of ROI and numbers of the crowdsourcing receivers
