Performance analysis of WDM-PON architecture using different receiver filters

摘要

In this paper the performance effect of a 40Gb/s Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) is analyzed using different receiver filters namely Integrator filter, Bessel filter, Butterworth filter, Chebyshev filter, Inverse Chebyshev filter, Elliptic filter, Gaussian filter and Rectangular filter. The data rate and channel spacing are taken as 10Gb/s per channel and 100 GHz, respectively. Among all the investigated filters, Bessel filter is considered to be the best one for WDM-PON network by the obtained BER and Qfactor values.
