Abstract:
Low-frequency embedded pilot tone can provide protocol-free management channels for WDM-PON-based mobile fronthaul systems. Experiments show modulation index control enables 128 kb/s pilot tones to be inserted into 64B/66B-line-coded CPRI option 8 signals, which have a low-frequency component.
