Intersymbol interference is a major cause to limit high data rate transmission in wireless communication. To avoid ISI OFDM is the preferred modulation technique. For frequency selective channels pure OFDM may not be sufficient to eliminate ISI. The use of time coding (interleaver and convolution coder) improves the ISI affected reception but do not eliminate ISI completely. The paper investigates the presence of equalizers to improve BER performance in ISI affected reception. The performance improvement is observed for two novel equalizers namely zero forcing equalizers and MMSE equalizers. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the superiority of the CODED OFDM method with equalizers

In this study, an optical frequency comb source (OFCS) based on a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) is constructed and theoretically demonstrated. A mathematical model of the constructed OFCS is then built to investigate the effect of the peak-to-peak radio frequency (RF) signals applied to the MZM arms on the generated optical frequency comb (OFC) lines at the MZM output. A dual-drive MZM, a continuous wave laser source, and an RF signal source are included in the OFCS. The chirp parameter can be controlled and 64 comb lines generated at a comb spacing of 25 GHz by regulating voltages applied to the MZM arms. The developed OFCS is relatively simple but valuable. The generated OFC lines can be used for high data-rate transmission.

With the increasing bandwidth requirement in computing and signal processing, the inherent limitations in metallic interconnection are seriously threatening the future of traditional IC industry. Silicon photonics can provide a low-cost approach to overcome the bottleneck of the high data rate transmission by replacing the original electronic integrated circuits with photonic integrated circuits. Although the commercial promise has not been realized, this perspective gives huge impetus to the development of silicon photonics these years. This paper provides an overview of the progress and the state of the art of each component in silicon photonics, including waveguides, filters, modulators, detectors, and lasers, mainly in the last five years.
