Traditionally, communication links operate with shared knowledge of modulation parameters, here we focus on developing a smart receiver that can identify and demodulate OFDM signals without a priori knowledge. Motivation for autonomous receivers lies in network monitoring and diagnostics and recovery from failures. Photonic-assisted wireless links exploit the low-loss characteristics of optical fiber and high-bandwidth photonic components to offer multi-octave, flexible signal generation and transport with large available instantaneous bandwidths. These characteristics synergize well with the flexibility of OFDM waveform design.","PeriodicalId":239122,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129777312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilization of star network topology further promises to improve scalability and flexibility in these platforms. Fiber management and related operations, such as fiber splicing, pose a practical challenge for realizing these goals. Therefore, there is a need for high-speed optical components that are free of fiber pigtails that satisfy the stringent temperature and mechanical requirements of avionics platforms. Previously, we have developed fiber-pigtailed ultrafast InP/InGaAs photodiodes that not only satisfy shock and vibration requirements, but have also passed additional tests needed for space qualification. For this work, we modified the input optical interface and related packaging of these photodiodes and manufactured a pigtail-free DC to 22 GHz photodiode module with a Lucent Connector (LC) fiber receptacle having stable operation over a wide range of temperature, namely -40 °C to +120 °C.","PeriodicalId":239122,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122324667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
