Field evaluation of high resolution optical FMCW monitoring approaches in passive optical networks

Field trial results of high resolution optical frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) monitoring approaches are presented. The variable chirp rate technique and the phase noise cancellation method show promising results on a deployed fiber PON-infrastructure.
