COMMUNICATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WITH OPTICALLY AIDED DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING DISPERSION COMPENSATION

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to managing dispersion compensation in optical transmission line utilizing single mode fiber with no in-line dispersion compensation. A communication system terminal includes one or more dispersion compensation modules configured to compensate for at least a portion of optical dispersion associated with optical data signals supplied from the transmission line. A receiver communicatively coupled to the transmission line includes a digital signal processor configured to compensate for an additional portion of dispersion associated with the optical data signals converted to electrical signals by the receiver.
