Publication number: 20230421420Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is an adaptive equalization filter for an optical transmission system, including: a main signal filter; and a coefficient computation unit that updates the filter coefficient of the main signal filter. The pre-stage filter and the post-stage filter receive a sample of the main signal as an input. The pre-stage coefficient computation unit obtains the filter coefficient of the pre-stage filter by feedback control using the gradient method. The post-stage coefficient computation unit obtains the filter coefficient of the post-stage filter by feedforward control. The convolution computation unit obtains the filter coefficient of the main signal filter by convolution computation of the filter coefficient of the pre-stage filter obtained by the pre-stage coefficient computation unit and the filter coefficient of the post-stage filter obtained by the post-stage coefficient computation unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2020Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Etsushi YAMAZAKI, Seiji OKAMOTO, Masanori NAKAMURA, Kengo HORIKOSHI, Takeo SASAI, Yoshiaki KISAKA
