Abstract :
A Percival coil connected between the photodetector and amplifier in the receiver of an optical communication system offers the possibility of improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNR´s). When the photodetector is an avalanche diode, the modified receiver requires a lower value of avalanche gain for optimum performance.
