Energy-Efficient Implementation of Carrier Phase Recovery for Higher-Order Modulation Formats
- 2021
-
In: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 39:2, s. 505-510
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We introduce circuit implementations of one- and two-stage carrier phase recovery (CPR) for 256QAM coherent optical receivers. We describe in detail the optimizations of algorithms, such as modified Viterbi-Viterbi (mVV), blind phase search (BPS), and principal component-based phase estimation (PCPE), that are required to develop energy-efficient CPR circuits and show how design parameter settings and limited fixed-point resolution affect the SNR penalty. 30-GBaud CPR circuit netlists synthesized in a 22-nm CMOS process technology allow us to study trade-offs between energy per bit and SNR penalty. We show that it is possible to reach an energy dissipation of around 1 pJ/bit at an SNR penalty of 0.6 dB for two-stage PCPE+BPS and mVV+BPS implementations, and that PCPE+BPS is the preferred choice thanks to its smaller area.

Digital Emulation of Time-Varying PMD for Real-Time DSP Evaluations
- 2021
-
In: Asia Communications and Photonics Conference, ACP. - 2162-108X. - 9781957171005 ; M4H
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We introduce a digital PMD emulator to accelerate BER analysis of coherent receiver DSPs. The emulator creates parameterizable, time-varying impairments, which we use to demonstrate real-time analysis of a CMA equalizer.
