Requirements on resolution and sampling jitter of ADC in 10G-class optics and MLSD based NG-EPON

The impact of sampling jitter and resolution of ADC on the performance of MLSD-based NG-EPON is analyzed. 30-dB loss budget is achieved in 25-Gb/s/λ applications using 25-Gb/s, 3-bit ADC with ±2.5-ps timing jitter tolerance.
