Abstract:
A real-time 20x21.6 Gbit/s WDM electro-optical transceiver is presented. Optical carriers were spaced by 37 GHz and each one transmitted four orthogonally overlapping broadband subchannels. Only analogue electronics were employed for the OFDM (de)modulation and subcarrier synchronization.
