This investigation demonstrates the generation of OFDM-RoF signal using frequency doubling technique for the first time, to the author's best knowledge. The 4-Gb/s OFDM signal using 16-QAM format modulated on each subcarrier at a center frequency of 19GHz is experimentally demonstrated. Benchmarked against the OOK format, the 16-QAM OFDM format has the higher spectral efficiency with a sensitiv...

Simultaneous RZ-OOK to NRZ-OOK and RZ-DPSK to NRZ-DPSK modulation format conversion in a single silicon microring resonator with free spectral range equal to twice the signal bit rate is experimentally demonstrated for the first time at 41.6 Gb/s. By utilizing an optimized custom-made microring resonator with high coupling coefficient followed by an optical bandpass filter with appropriate band...

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is shown to significantly outperform LDPC coded on-off keying (OOK) over the atmospheric turbulence channel in terms of both coding gain and spectral efficiency. In the regime of strong turbulence at a bit-error rate of 10(-5), the coding gain improvement of the LDPC coded single-side band unclipped-...

Proposed and demonstrated is an all-optical modulation format conversion from a non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) signal to a phase-shift keying (PSK)-Manchester format signal using a semiconductor optical amplifier based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SOAMZI). In the experiment, a 2.5 Gbit/s PSK-Manchester format signal was obtained from a NRZ-OOK signal and a 50 km error-free transmiss...

The histological features are reported of osteo-odonto-acrylic laminae removed from three patients who for differing underlying causes received Strampelli's osteo-odonto-keratoprostheses (OOK) 20, 16, and 12 years previously. It appears that preservation of the alveolar-dental ligament plays a definitive role in the maintenance of the prosthesis. If this tissue undergoes necrosis as a consequen...

Opsomming Oorloe bring verskillende soorte lyding vir burgerlikes. Militbre optredes lei dikwels tot die verwoesting van gemeenskappe en laat burgerlikes nie alleen dakloos nie, maar ook behoeftig. Gewoonlik word baie klem op die lot van die soldate en, soverre dit die AngloBoereoorlog aanbetref, veral die lot van die vroue en kinders in krygsgevangekampe, gel&. Dit het daartoe gelei dat die wy...

A 2.4-GHz CMOS on-off keying (OOK) transmitter is developed for applications that require high data rate over 10Mbps in the area of wireless body area network (WBAN) and medical implant communication service (MICS). A novel analog pulse-shaping circuit for reducing power consumption and circuit complexity is employed for the OOK transmitter. Fabricated in 0.13μm CMOS, the transmitter core exclu...
