Timing Advance Tracking for Coherent OFDMA-PON Upstream System

A synchronization algorithm for coherent OFDMA-PON upstream is proposed. The feasibility of the tracking functionality is experimentally investigated. A differential delay of up to 37.6 ns was tracked and could be compensated at the ONU.
