Device and method for estimating optical fiber dispersion by low-speed delay sampling
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a device and a method for estimating optical fiber dispersion by low-speed delay sampling.
Background
With the increasing demand for data services, the capacity of optical transmission networks is increasing, the transmission distance is also increasing, and the optical signals are affected by Chromatic Dispersion (CD) and nonlinearity in the transmission process of the optical fiber. In order to better manage and monitor the Optical network and ensure the reliability and stability of the system, Optical Performance Monitoring (OPM) gets more and more attention, and among numerous Monitoring indexes, chromatic dispersion is an important parameter for measuring the quality of an Optical fiber link, and has an important meaning for estimating and measuring the system.
The estimation and compensation of the dispersion are the premise for processing the nonlinear effect, and the precision of the dispersion compensation directly influences the processing process of the subsequent signals. The digital signal processing technology can be used for effectively compensating the dispersion, and accurate and quick dispersion estimation can provide a basis for subsequent dispersion compensation, thereby being greatly helpful for improving the transmission performance of the system.
In the prior art, the delay sampling technology is considered to be an effective, reliable and low-cost dispersion estimation technology. The signal waveform is sampled in the form of sampling pairs (Xi, Yi), sampling points Xi and Yi are delayed by tau, asynchronous delay sampling is achieved, distortion of the signal can be represented by drawing a scatter diagram (delay sampling diagram) of the sampling points obtained by two ADC taps, and the function of the sample is similar to that of an eye diagram. Since the desired signal is sampled in a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based receiver, delay tap sampling can be easily implemented and is naturally suitable for dispersion estimation. However, as the transmission rate is continuously increased, if the conventional delay tap sampling technique is adopted, since it requires 2 times of symbol rate sampling, there will be a relatively high requirement for the sampling rate of the dispersion estimation device, and the increase of the sampling rate means the increase of the cost.
In recent years, researchers have attracted attention on how to reduce the cost of dispersion monitoring equipment, and the application of low-speed sampling technology in dispersion monitoring equipment is the most direct way to reduce the cost. The low-speed sampling technique is a technique with a sampling rate lower than the nyquist sampling rate, and at a low sampling rate, a periodic training sequence can be used, which is equivalent to an oversampled signal. The equivalent sampling is implemented under the low-speed sampling, and the cost of the dispersion monitoring equipment can be greatly reduced on the premise of ensuring that the performance is not obviously degraded by combining the existing dispersion estimation means.
The current methods for performing dispersion estimation under low-speed sampling technology mainly include two methods: a is for sampling under the low speed and carrying on the equivalent sampling after the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) blind dispersion estimation method, utilize training sequence, sample at low speed, the signal got is transformed into the fractional domain, the energy concentration can be represented by the concentrated function of energy of different transformation orders, search its extreme value in order to obtain the optimum order, utilize the optimum order in the fractional domain to estimate the cumulative dispersion value finally, its disadvantage is that it is high to calculate the complexity when transforming to the search optimum order of the fractional domain; the other method relies on a neural network, a large amount of data (training set) in the system is utilized to train the neural network to extract data characteristics, finally, a test set is input into a trained neural network model, and weighted average is carried out on the output of a neural network unit and reference dispersion, so that a dispersion estimation value is obtained.
