Novell Coding Technique for Code Division Multiple Access Communication system

Abstract – An optical dynamic frequency hopping code division multiple access communication system is proposed. In this system, an electrically controlled tunable optical filter (TOF) is used to encode the modulated broadband light source. The code depends on the function set to the controller. The function defines the dynamic hopping pattern of the central wavelength of the transmitted narrowband optical signal. Thus, the system will allow for an easy reconfiguration of the transmitter without the need for sophisticated encoder. At the receiver, a synchronized TOF with the same function is used as a decoder. The system is modeled and analyzed taking into account the multiple access interference, thermal noise, and phase induced intensity noise. The performance of this system is compared with a spectral amplitude coding system that uses either a Hadamard code or a modified quadratic congruence code
