This technique, known as spectral slicing, may afford important advantages over traditional laser-based WDM in many network applications. The authors describe three system demonstrations using combinations of SLDs, LEDs, and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers to achieve spectrally sliced transmission over 4 to 16 WDM channels at bit rates up to 155 Mb/s per channel. A generalized power-budget analysis of spectrally sliced transmission is then presented and compared with experimental results. The investigation quantifies key trade-offs in the design of spectrally sliced WDM networks, and identifies opportunities for extension and optimization of system performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The results show how data-modulation-induced transients in the received signal detract from the performance of the tracking loops by forcing discriminator IF (intermediate frequency) filters into a continuous transient state. Furthermore, the loops are somewhat vulnerable to an internal gain imbalance resulting from an improper choice of the code phase used for spreading the data bits. A measurement approach is applied to both loops to combat the effect of data modulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

Data transmission in such systems often suffers from intersymbol interference (ISI) and noise. Two separate techniques, channel coding and equalization, have produced considerable advances in the state of communication systems, and both concern themselves with removing the undesired effects of a communication channel. Equalizers mitigate the ISI, whereas coding schemes are used to incorporate error-correction. It is shown that an integrated approach realizes gains in excess of that of a simple juxtaposition.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

By distributing the workstation's intelligence over a high-performance network, both the computation and communication load are shed to other processors on the network. The Liaison display performs only the low-level functions of acquiring and displaying images, whereas the remainder of the workstation's functionality is performed by a pool of distributed processors. Initial experiences with this architecture using a prototype monochrome workstation have provided insight into the issues surrounding the control and processing of communications-intensive applications.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

This architecture uses an output/update multiply-accumulate (MAC) pair to compute a finite impulse response (FIR) filter output in parallel with the updating of the filter taps via the leaky LMS algorithm. The MAC pair architecture provides a more efficient structure for adaptive filtering than would the use of its two processors in a normal serial LMS implementation. A second level of parallelism allows the use of multiple MAC pairs to implement long adaptive FIR filters. The viability of this architecture is demonstrated through experimental results obtained for a 800-kb/s HDSL equalizer research prototype.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.
