The generation of photonic ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse signals using an uncooled distributed-feedback laser is proposed. For the first time, we experimentally demonstrate bit-for-bit digital signal processing (DSP) bit-error-rate measurements for transmission of a 781.25-Mb/s photonic UWB signal over fiber links. The DSP algorithm is described, the generated UWB signal is shown to comply with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission requirements, and transmission of 1 71 10 5 UWB bits over fiber is demonstrated without error.
DWDM based system for optical generation and transmission of impulse radio UWB signals
2011 7th International Conference on Emerging Technologies, 2011
This paper presents a simple technique for generation of Impulse Radio Ultra-wideband pulses in optical domain. This system can transmit the data in Giga-bits-persecond range for 32 users across a 1 km optical fiber link using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). A multiple access technique using Direct Sequence Ultra-wideband (DS UWB) pulses has also been presented. Moreover, we have analyzed the relationship between the input data rate and signal bandwidth and also studied the effect of pulse width on the bandwidth of a signal. I.
Hybrid radio over fiber system for generation and distribution of UWB signals
2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2008
The authors investigate a hybrid radio over fiber system for the generation and distribution of UWB signals. This system is based on gain-switched laser, which is used to generate short optical pulses. The position of these pulses is modulated using electrical data before transmitting them to the Remote Antenna Unit (RAU). At the RAU, the optical signal is detected and undergoes spectral shaping (according to UWB requirements). The resulting Pulse Position Modulated (PPM) electrical impulses are then down-converted to baseband using an electrical mixer. After strong low pass filtering, Bit Error Rate measurements are carried out in order to verify the performance of the system. Error free operation is achieved for optical power levels as low as -16 dBm falling at the detector in RAU. The impact of fiber transmission on the generated UWB signal is also investigated via a simulation model. The evolution of the pulse-and spectral width of the UWB pulses, as the signal travels over different lengths of fiber, is recorded. Results achieved show that the pulse-and spectral width are strongly affected by chromatic dispersion of the fiber. However, these changes can be easily reverted using standard dispersion compensation techniques.
All-Optical 500Mb/s UWB Transceiver:An Experimental Demonstration
IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2008
We propose and demonstrate experimentally, for the first time, a prototype for all-optical ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver at 500 Mb/s. We report 1) UWB pulse optimization that takes into account the transmitter RF front end and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectral mask, 2) a new approximate match filter receiver using optical signal processing, and 3) modulation at 500 Mb/s. Our previous optimization of UWB pulse shapes was based only on the FCC spectral mask, without taking into account the frequency response of the RF components (amplifier and antenna) in the UWB transmitter. Here, we modify our pulse optimization technique to ensure that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) from the transmitter meets FCC specifications. For the RF hardware used, we achieve 63.6% efficiency over the FCC mask, which yields an 11.6-and a 5.9-dB improvement over Gaussian monocycle and doublet pulses, respectively. We also introduce simple optical signal processing at the receiver that allows the incoming RF signal to be matched against a square pulse whose duration is adapted to the channel. The exact matched filter would require a new optimized pulse that would include not only hardware frequency response but channel effects that vary with antenna placement as well. The proposed approximation allows a simple variation of the pulse duration: an increase to account for pulse expansion in the channel but an upper limit to combat multipath effects. Finally, we demonstrate the optimized pulse and approximate match filter receiver at 500 M/s. We attain a bit error rate at a 65-cm separation line of sight (LOS) link with simple on-off keying and no forward error correction.
Optical distribution of UWB: Low complexity pulse generation supporting OOK and PSK
International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics, 2010
Optical transport of UWB signals extends the reach of these power-limited signals. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple, low-cost method to generate UWB pulses in optics. Unlike other methods, we use the minimal hardware configuration (source/modulator/photodetector) without requiring RF pulse shaping. A novel combination of data and a sinusoidal signal modulates the intensity of a continuous wave laser to create various UWB pulses. For impulse radio UWB, onoff keying (OOK) or phase-shift-keying is accomplished simply by adjusting the data and the sinusoidal signal amplitudes. Multiband UWB signals with OOK can also be realized by this technique.
On phaser-based processing of impulse radio UWB over fiber systems employing SOA
Optical Fiber Technology, 2017
In this study, we adopt a phaser-based processing to enhance the performance of impulse radio over fiber system utilizing SOA. The amplifier has been placed at a distance in the optical link, so as to extend the coverage area of proposed transceiver. Operating in the linear or saturation region for SOA, adds ASE noise or strong nonlinearities acting on the propagated pulses, respectively. Both lead to a degradation in the power efficiency and bit error rate performance. By applying up and down analog chirping technique, we have reduced the ASE power and nonlinearity simultaneously. Based on the 5th Gaussian pulse and Abraha's combination of doublets, a significant improvement has been achieved at extremely low and high input powers entering the amplifier (<-15 dBm and 0 dBm), recording a very good bit error rate performance and power efficiency. Better signal quality was observed after photo-detector, due to the fact that waveforms with lower frequency components are less affected by SOA nonlinearity. Our scheme has proved to be effective for 1 Gbps OOK and 0.5 Gbps PPM transmissions, while reaching a distance of 160 km in the optical fiber.

Recently there is increasing interest in using optical fiber links to distribute impulse radio-ultrawideband (IR-UWB) signals in order to increase the coverage area. This paper investigates the transmission performance of these signals over existing fiber links and addresses the possibility of increasing the coverage area beyond 30 km.The transmission link consists of a single- mode fiber, dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and, optical amplifiers. Simulation results are presented using Optisystem (version 13.0) software package for both Gaussian monocycle and 5th-order derivative Gaussian systems, each operating with ON-OFF keying (OOK) and biphase modulation (BPM) formats. The results reveal that extending the coverage area for 625 Mb/s UWB signal toward 100 km is possible for the UWB signals and modulation formats adopted in this study.
