Abstract

This article presents an accurate numerical approach to statistically characterize filtered phase noise, usually encountered in the analysis of heterodyne optical fiber communication receivers. Filtered phase noise is generated by simulation. Generated samples are used to estimate the probability density functions and moment generating functions of phase noise random variables. The proposed approach is valid for large as well as small phase noise. Furthermore, it comes close to providing analytical expressions for the computed statistical measures.
