Abstract :
A Percival coil connected between the photodetector and amplifier in the receiver of a digital optical communication system offers the possibility of a reduced signal power requirement for a given bit error rate. When the photodetector is an avalanche diode, the modified receiver requires a lower value of avalanche gain for optimum performance.
