METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADBAND CARRIER FREQUENCY AND PHASE RECOVERY IN COHERENT OPTICAL SYSTEM

摘要

A digital apparatus comprising a fast Fourier transform (FFT) module configured to transform a time domain optical signal into a frequency domain optical signal, a circular shifter coupled to the FFT module and configured to provide coarse frequency offset compensation to the frequency domain optical signal based on an estimated frequency offset; and a frequency offset estimation module coupled to the circular shifter and configured to provide the estimated frequency offset based on a power spectrum of the frequency domain optical signal or a data block header autocorrelation of the time domain optical signal.
