OPTIMUM RECEIVER AND PERFORMANCE FOR A PULSED ANGLE MODULATED OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The optimum receiver for detection of angle modulated pulse train was analyzed in terms of Maximum A-Posteriori estimation. Although the signal spectrum contains many harmonics, the optimum receiver is a phase locked loop which operates on only the fundamental spectrum component. A sub-optimum receiver which takes into account the practical hard¬ware limitation was also analyzed.
