Abstract
An extremely short header transmission and processing time in a gigabi t wavelength-division-multiple-access (WDMA) network has been experime ntally demonstrated. This was achieved by using parallelly processed s ubcarrier hopping pilot-tones in combination with an array of detector s and RF switches. The results showed that, without considering the ti me consumed in an arbitration circuit, the total processing time of th e hopping pilot-tone headers was as short as 40 ns which is independen t of the number of network nodes and data transmission rate.
