Abstract :
Throughout this paper, a unified analytical framework is presented emphasizing the impact of optical hard limiter (OHL) on the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the optical overlapped code division multiple access (OV-CDMA) system. Results show that the performance of OV-CDMA system may be highly improved when using OHL.
