Analytical Solution of Optimal Electrical Equalization Coefficents

Electrical dispersion compensation equalizer is a key and cost-effective element in optical communication OOK systems in the presence of chromatic dispersion. Here, for the first time, to the best of the authors´ knowledge, an analytical solution is established for the electrical equalizer coefficients in an optical communication system. The solution is based on minimum mean-square error criterion. The analytical results show a perfect match with computer simulation. In addition BER performance comparison with the adaptive least mean square (LMS) method reveals that the analytical solution performs better due to LMS excess mean-square error.
