  • Abstract
    A laboratory 4*4 transparent node for the space frequency domain has been set up in which optical frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals at different bit rates and modulation schemes can be switched simultaneously. The feasibility, signal path architecture, supervision, control, and performance of this node are reported.
