Integrated blind electronic equalizer for fiber dispersion compensation

This paper presents an adaptive blind electronic equalization technique for fiber dispersion compensation. Constant-modulus blind adaptive algorithm is proposed to provide reference-free feedback. The proposed 10Gb/s 7-tap electronic equalizer is designed in a 50GHz SiGe technology and the blind feed back algorithm can be implemented in an FPGA with 100MHz operation frequency.
