Integrated Blind Electronic Equalizer for Fiber Dispersion Compensation
Fa Foster Dai, Shengfang Wei, R. Jaeger · 2005
The paper presents an adaptive blind electronic equalization technique for fiber dispersion compensation. A constant-modulus blind adaptive algorithm is proposed to provide reference-free feedback. The proposed 10 Gb/s 7-tap electronic equalizer is designed in a 50 GHz SiGe technology and the blind feedback algorithm can be implemented in an FPGA with 100 MHz operation frequency.
