Title :
PMD mitigation and receiver optimization to reduce PMD influence
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Microelectronics, Chalmers Univ. of Technol., Gothenburg, Sweden
Abstract :
The efficiencies of a number of passive and active PMD mitigation techniques are quantified. The implications of using a fixed receiver decision point (threshold and timing) are also discussed and compared with an adaptive receiver.
