      Hello all,

      I am doing a project on neural-network-based equalizer for PAM4 optical networks. I am using both Optisystem and MATLAB. I exported the received signal to MATLAB but the received signal has 32 samples/bit. I only want one sample per symbol. How can I downsample a 32 sample/bit (or in any sample) signal to 1 sample/symbol in OptiSystem?

      Thank you!

      Hello Yacob,
      one sample/bit is too low for representing a pulse for that bit. You need to make sure that the sampling theorem applies when simulating the signal. In any case, there is a component called “Electrical Downsampler” and “Optical Downsampler” that can be used.

      Hello Ahmad,

      Thank you for the response. I will make sure aliasing won’t happen while I downsample the signal.

      Best,
