Abstract:
      An efficient channel estimation method called time-domain weighted average (TWA) algorithm is proposed for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. On the premise of calculating the associated weight of channel transfer function, a more exact channel characteristic is obtained by calculating the weighted average of the pilot transfer function in this algorithm. Compared with time-domain average (TA) algorithm, the TWA algorithm can reach the same bit error rate (BER) with fewer pilots, and it improves the performance of CO-OFDM systems.
