The BER of each channel can be investigated individually. The user can adjust the number of spans (transmission length), switch off/on the fiber nonlinear- ities and modify the EDFA noise figure. Application Example 2 Title Performance of NRZ, RZ, and Duobinary modulation format in 10 Gbps transmission Description The setup compares the performance of the NRZ, RZ, and Duobinary modulation formats in a single channel 10 Gbps transmission. The BER obtained with each modulation format are displayed against the accumulated dispersion or the OSNR. The user can adjust the OSNR (respectively the accumulated dispersion) as well as the 3 dB bandwidth of the optical filter in front of the receiver. S. V. Kartalopoulos, Next Generation Intelligent Optical Networks, 257 C Springer 2008 258 Appendix: VPIsystems—Demonstration Examples Application Example 3 Title Performance comparison of NRZ, DPSK, and DQPSK in 40 Gbps transmission Description The setup investigates the performance of NRZ, DPSK, and DQPSK modulation in a single channel 40 Gbps transmission. The BER obtained with each modulation format are displayed against the accumulated dispersion or the OSNR. The user can adjust the OSNR (respectively the accumulated dispersion) as well as the 3 dB bandwidth of the optical filter in front of the receiver. Application Example 4 Title Variation of OSNR over an OADM chain Description This setup illustrates the variation of OSNR over a chain of OADMs where channels are randomly added and dropped. The OSNR is displayed over the number of passed OADM for three different random add–drop sequences. The user can specify the number of cascaded OADMs as well as their insertion loss. Application Example 5 Title EDFA transients and their control in dynamic networks Description The setup demonstrates the transient behavior of a dynamically controlled EDFA after switching off one of four WDM channels. The power control of the EDFA is achieved by adjusting the pump power with a controller. The user can adjust the feedback gain of the EDFA controller, which affects the settling time and shape of the controlled EDFA’s transient response. Application Example 6 Title Impact of the dispersion map on nonlinear impairments in 10 and 40 Gbps RZ systems Introduction 259 Description The setup illustrates the impact of the dispersion map on nonlinear impairments in single channel 10 or 40 Gbps RZ systems. Each span consists of 80 km of SSMF and a pre– and post-compensation modules. The line is considered noiseless in order to focus on the impact of nonlinear impairments. ASE is added in front of the receiver to achieve a given OSNR. An ideal DCM is placed in front of the receiver side for (partial) compensation of the dispersion accumulated in the line. The BER is displayed against the amount of residual dispersion at the receiver side. The user can adjust the OSNR as well as the amount of pre– and post-compensation per span that affect the nonlinear propagation of the signal in the line. Application Example 7 Title Reducing FWM effect using different channel spacing Description This setup illustrates the impact of four-wave mixing on the performance of WDM systems utilizing low dispersion fibers (DSF, NZDSF) and high signal powers. The BER and the magnitude of FWM products are displayed against the channel input power. The user can adjust the emission frequencies of the channels. The channel spacing can be set unequal so that the degradation due to FWM is reduced. Application Example 8 Title Influence of PMD in 40 Gbps transmission Description This setup models the random variation of the bit error rate due to polarization mode dispersion. The amount of PMD is randomly changed for each iteration. The spread of BER results demonstrates the difficulty in measuring the power penalty due to PMD. The user can adjust the modulation format (between NRZ and RZ) and the number of iterations. Application Example 9 Title Reduction of nonlinear penalties in 40 Gbps transmissions using alternate polarization modulation Description This setup demonstrates the advantages of alternate polarization modulation format over standard formats (NRZ). To apply alternating polarization between adjacent bits is an effective technique in suppressing intra-channel nonlinear distortions. The user can adjust the propagation distance and the WDM input power. 260 Appendix: VPIsystems—Demonstration Examples Application Example 10 Title Multi-pump Raman optimization Description Flat Raman gain is achieved over C and L bands by adjusting pump wavelengths and powers. The Raman gain and noise figure are displayed over the wavelength. Raman amplification between the pumps can be observed in an OSA. The user can modify the wavelength and power of the pumps and observe the changes in the Raman gain. Application Example 11 Title 10G–40G upgrade using Raman amplifier Description This setup demonstrates the benefits of Raman amplification allowing an upgrade from 10 s to 40 Gbps. Distributed Raman amplification is achieved by backward pumping the transmission fiber from the receiver terminal end. The user can change the bit rate from 10 to 40 Gbps and adjust the Raman pump power. Application Example 12 Title MLSE versus classical receiver performance Description This setup demonstrates the advantage of the Viterbi-MLSE receiver over classical receiver in the presence of intersymbol interferences. The BER of a 10 Gbps NRZ signal is displayed for a constant OSNR against the amount of residual dispersion for both receivers. The user can adjust the OSNR as well as the length of the sequences and the number of states used for Viterbi-MLSE detection.

VER RESPONSE DESCRIPTION No obvious trouble was detected on the line. However, there may still be a problem with parts of the loop that were not tested. For example, there might be a problem in the station set, on a crossbar line, or in the Central Office (CO). When the system tests ok you 0 TEST OK will see that the DC resistances and voltage will not indicate a problem. The AC signature will be valid (if done), the line ckt will be ok and the system can draw and break dial tone. Balance should be good. VER_05 (zero five) is applicable to all switches and applies to both integrated and universal DLC loops. It indicates that all metallic tests passed, but that the channel test was either not made, didn’t complete in time or the returned results did not match the acceptable signatures. It does not mean that the channel is bad. TEST OK - CHANNEL For IDLC in 5ESS switches, it may be an indication that there may 05 NOT TESTED be a shortage of transmission test facility (TTF) responders.

Although the data to be transmitted is digital, the telephone channel is designed to carry voice signals having a bandwidth of approximately 300 to 3300Hz. The telephone transmission channel suffers from delay distortion, noise, crosstalk, impedance mismatches, near-end and far-end echoes, and other imperfections. While certain levels of these signal degradations are perfectly acceptable for voice communication, they can cause high error rates in digital data transmission. The fundamental purpose of the transmitter portion of the modem is to prepare the digital data for transmission over the analog voice line. The purpose of the receiver portion of the modem is to receive the signal which contains the analog representation of the data , and reconstruct the original digital data at an acceptable error rate. High performance modems make use of digital techniques to perform such functions as modulation, demodulation, error detection and correction, equalization, and echo cancellation.

  • An Efficient 2-Level-Inversion Coding Scheme for Digital Data Transmission Over Bandlimited Channels
    www.ijaceeonline.com ISSN: 2456 - 3935 International Journal of Advances in Computer and Electronics Engineering Volume 2, Issue 6, June 2017, pp. 41–47 2-LIB: An Efficient 2-Level-Inversion Coding Scheme for Digital Data Transmission over Bandlimited Channels Dr. Olakanmi Oladayo Senior Lecturer, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Department of Author, Affiliation, Country Email: [email protected], [email protected] Dr. Nsionu Ifeanyi Chief Lecturer, Department of Computer Engineering, Federal Polytechnic Oko, Nigeria. Email: [email protected] Abstract: A low bandwidth required coding scheme is needed for an effective digital data transmission over a bandlimited channels. Most of the existing coding schemes have some performance issues such as lack of synchronisation feature, high bandwidth requirement and considerable DC component. These make them imperfect choice especially for digital data transmission between heterogeneous devices over bandlimited channels. In this paper, a new coding scheme called 2-LIB is proposed to replace Non Return to Zero (NRZ) and AMI schemes used in RS232C/EIA-232 and 100-base-T Ethernet signaling respectively. The Power Spectral Density (PSD) of 2-LIB was derived, analysed and compared with that of some of the existing schemes. The results showed that 2-LIB has the best performance in terms of bandwidth requirement, strong synchronisation feature, and no DC component with minimal spectral content. The major strength of the scheme is that it does not only maintain all the good properties of both NRZ and Manchester but consumes the lowest bandwidth. Keyword: Power spectral Density; Coding; DC component; Data Communication.

  • Digital Baseband Communication Systems for More Information: Read Chapters 1, 6 and 7 in Your Textbook Or Visit
    EE 421: Communications I Prof. Mohammed Hawa Introduction to Digital Baseband Communication Systems For more information: read Chapters 1, 6 and 7 in your textbook or visit http://wikipedia.org/. Remember that communication systems in general can be classified into four categories: Analog Baseband Systems, Analog Carrier Systems ( using analog modulation), Digital Baseband Systems and Digital Carrier Systems ( using digital modulation). Digital baseband and digital carrier transmission systems have many advantages over their analog counterparts. Some of these advantages are: 1. Digital transmission systems are more immune to noise due to threshold detection at the receiver; and the availability of regenerative repeaters, which can be used instead of analog amplifiers at intermediate points throughout the transmission channel. 2. Digital transmission systems allow multiplexing at both the baseband level (e.g., TDM) and carrier level (e.g., FDM, CDMA and OFDMA), which means we can easily carry multiple conversations (signals) on a single physical medium (channel). 3. The ability to use spread spectrum techniques in digital systems help overcome jamming and interference and allows us to hide the transmitted signal within noise if necessary. In addition, the use of orthogonality is easier and allows increasing the transmission rate by overcoming impairments such as fading. 4. The possibility of using channel coding techniques (i.e., error correcting codes) in digital communications reduces bit errors at the receiver (i.e., it effectively improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)). 5. The possibility of using source coding techniques (i.e., compression) in digital communications reduces the amount of bits being transmitted, and hence, allows for more bandwidth efficiency.

  • Gradually Introduced Efficiencies Into the Traditional Loop Architecture, Such As Digital Loop Carrier
    gradually introduced efficiencies into the traditional loop architecture, such as digital loop carrier ("DLC") systems at the remote terminal that used multiplexers and other electronics and the addition ofhigh-~ap_a<;ity feeder plant, in order to enhance the transmission functionality ofthe loop to better accommodate voice service. Even with significant gains in technology that greatly improved the efficiencies for transmitting voice service, however, the traditional ILEC loop architecture could only support transmission rates of56 kpbs (nominally) in best-case configurations. 12. As consumer demand for bandwidth-rich data services grows, the inherent constraints in the ll..ECs' traditional loop architecture have caused the ll..ECs to explore and implement a "next generation" architecture that better utilizes the full transmission functionality ofboth the low and high frequencies ofthe local loop in order to provide a wider range of telecommunications services to a broader cross-section ofend-users. In particular, I discuss how the ll..ECs have enhanced their loops by incorporating a much greater use offiber, introducing splitting and additional multiplexing functions at remote terminals and additional demultiplexing functions at the central office and elsewhere. These loop enhancements have made it possible to greatly increase and improve the transmission functionality ofthe loop. Indeed, the introduction ofnext-generation architecture permits ll..ECs and their data affiliates to provide a whole host of new services, and higher-quality existing services, to their customers while also increasing the ll..ECs' own economies in their loop plant. 13. I also explain that the transmission functionality provided in next generation RT architecture is no different than that the transmission functionality delivered in a more traditional DLC architecture.
