Abstract
We propose a digital-differential-pulse-code-modulation fronthaul (DDP-FH) scheme and conduct experimental validation within a photonics-aided D-band 1.2-km wireless fronthaul system. In the experiment, by adopting different resolutions in differential-pulse-code-modulation (DPCM), the recovered signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be flexibly adjusted within a wide range from 19.1 dB to 38.9 dB, supporting the transmission of various formats from 64-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (64-QAM) to 4096-QAM. When the resolution of DPCM increases from 2 to 6 bit, the DDP-FH scheme achieves an average SNR gain of 5 dB for each linearly increased bandwidth (BW). Notably, compared to digital-pulse-code-modulation fronthaul (DP-FH), DDP-FH reduces the required bandwidth by approximately $1.3\cdot $ BW while maintaining the same SNR.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
