White Gaussian Noise Based Capacity Estimate and Characterization of Fiber-Optic Links

Signal Processing 2017-10-16 v1

Abstract

We use white Gaussian noise as a test signal for single-mode and multimode transmission links and estimate the link capacity based on a calculation of mutual information. We also extract the complex amplitude channel estimations and mode-dependent loss with high accuracy.
