Research on the transmission performance of turbo codes in DDO-OFDM system

Abstract

A direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) system using turbo codes is built, and the transmission performance comparison between coded system and uncoded system is analyzed. Three decoding algorithms, which are Log-maximum a posteriori (MAP), Max-Log-MAP and threshold Max-Log-MAP, are used in the turbo coded system. By comparing three decoding algorithms, the system using Max-Log-MAP algorithm has the best bit error rate (BER) performance. At the transmission distance of 240 km, the uncoded system with transmission rate of 30 Gbit/s can get the BER performance at the degree of 8.93×10⁻³ with optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of 24 dB, while the turbo coded system with transmission rate of 50 Gbit/s can achieve it within OSNR of 20 dB.
