Performance Analysis of Spatially Distributed MIMO Mode Division Multiplexed Fibers For Sensing Application

Abstract

Optical Mode division multiplexing (OMDM) is a promising technology that supports forthcoming capacity demand of internet worldwide. The multiplexing of spatial iii domain with fibers capable of supporting multiple modes is an efficient way as transmission capacity scales with number of modes. MIMO concept is based on installation of multiple antennas at transmitter and receiver end. Different MIMO algorithms have been developed as it provides increase coverage, higher data rate and achieves better BER as compared to SISO. Spatial Multiplexing employ MIMO system that offers higher data rate as multiple data symbols are transmitted simultaneously using multiple antennas. This thesis deals with the performance investigation and design of Optical MIMO Mode division multiplexed transmission system for high capacity long haul multichannel transmission to efficiently utilize the fiber bandwidth.
