An. Mody et al., EFFECT OF RF PHASE NOISE ON PERFORMANCE OF QAM FIBER OPTIC LINKS USING TAYLOR-SERIES APPROXIMATION, Electronics Letters, 34(23), 1998, pp. 2261-2262
The effect of RF phase noise on the performance of quadrature amplitud
e modulated (QAM) fibre optic links is investigated using a Taylor ser
ies approximation. The use of a Taylor expansion reduces the computati
on time by a factor of more than 10(3). Simulation results obtained fo
r 64- and 256-QAM systems agree with the conventional performance comp
utation techniques.
