Abstract :
Compensation of fibre chromatic dispersion in coherent optical fibre transmission is demonstrated. The chromatic dispersion of a 70 km single-mode fibre with 1.3 μm zero dispersion wavelength is compensated for using a microstrip line equaliser in the intermediate frequency band. Amplitude distortion due to fibre chromatic dispersion at 1.55 μm wave-length is reduced to below 2.5 % with the equaliser
