Abstract

The paper presents an adaptive blind electronic equalization technique for fiber dispersion compensation. A constant-modulus blind adaptive algorithm is proposed to provide reference-free feedback. The proposed 10 Gb/s 7-tap electronic equalizer is designed in a 50 GHz SiGe technology and the blind feedback algorithm can be implemented in an FPGA with 100 MHz operation frequency.
