Recent years, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system gets more and more attentions for its great benefit to the optical fiber communication system for improving the transmission performance. Not only better performance in long distance transmission but also high bit-rate is attractive feature of the OFDM system. The OFDM technology has been developed for the wireless communication system, and is now used in Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), ETSI Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), High Definition Television (HDTV), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and so on.
The OFDM is extensively used in broadband wired and wireless communication systems, and it solves the problem of intersymbol interference (ISI) effectively. Actually, the OFDM is a kind of Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM), and it is not a brand-new technology. The history of the OFDM can be traced back to 1966 when Chang of Bell Labs introduced the concept of the OFDM.
In this thesis, I will briefly introduce the background of optical fiber communication system, then, explain my motivation and the structure of this thesis.
Next, theoretical study has been conducted. For the simulation, I discuss the performance of the OFDM system related to the number of subcarriers and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) repeater output power. It revealed that small number of subcarriers had better transmission performance. In my study case, repeater output power of 0dBm was the optimum condition.
In addition, experimental study has been conducted. For the experiment, the waveform required for the OFDM signal generation was calculated offline, and it was realized by the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG).
Finally, this thesis is concluded.
