Hi
How do I calculate the Max Q factor on paper for a given system in order to verify if my simulated Max Q factor shown on my eye diagram in optisystem is correct and corresponds with my calculated Q?
Here are the parameters for the given system:
32 x 5Gb/s DWDM system
Fiber span includes a 100km (NZDSF), 2.7km (DCF), EDFA (Gain = 21 dB & Noise Figure = 6dB), 6 connectors in total (0.75 dB insertion loss each)
dispersion of NZDSF: 4 ps/nm.km
dispersion of DCF: -147 ps/nm.km
LOOP CONTROL = 1
Transmission Type:DML
TX Power:5dBm
Central Wavelength: 1550nm
Modulation Type:NRZ
Loss of Multiplexer:5dB
Loss of Demultiplexer: 5dB
Frequency Spacing:100GHz
Receiver Sensitivity: -18 dBm
Thermal noise: 1e-022
Insertion Loss of PIN: 3dB
Cut off Frequency = 0.75 X bit rate = 0.75 x 5 Gb/s = 3.75 GHz
