Performance evaluation of FSK and CPFSK optical communication systems: a stable and accurate method

The modified moments method for evaluating the performance of coherent optical FSK and CPFSK systems is presented. Since the classical procedure becomes ill-conditioned as the order of the moments increases, we consider the construction of Gaussian quadrature rules (GQR) from the modified moments. The analysis accounts for the influences of IF bandwidth, transmitter and local oscillator laser phase noise, postdetection filters, and additive Gaussian noise. It is found that the proposed approach is a highly reliable and efficient method for calculating the error probability. A comparison with results obtained from the Gaussian quadrature rule, Gaussian approximation method, and analytical approximation formulas shows that this technique is very accurate. Analytical expressions are derived for FSK and CPFSK receivers which include polarization and phase diversity techniques. The use of numerical programming to avoid many unnecessary computations is discussed. This evaluation method can be used to account for the effects of crosstalk in multichannel systems and the influence of error-control codes. >
