A Modified Receiver for Optical Transmission Systems

A Percival coil connected between the photodetector and amplifier in the receiver of an optical communication system offers the possibility of improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNR's). When the photodetector is an avalanche diode, the modified receiver requires a lower value of avalanche gain fo...

Description
Summary:A Percival coil connected between the photodetector and amplifier in the receiver of an optical communication system offers the possibility of improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNR's). When the photodetector is an avalanche diode, the modified receiver requires a lower value of avalanche gain for optimum performance.
