Abstract :
We compare the different modulation schemes of generating an AM-PSK duobinary signal by a MZ modulator. We have simulated both schemes of duobinary transmitters to consider their influence to dispersion sensitivity. We have especially considered the difference between the two possible modulation schemes of the asymmetrically driven MZ modulator
