Abstract

We present the proposed modification of decoder for 2-D Wavelength/Time (W/T) Optical Code Division Multiple Access (O-CDMA) system by optical hard-limiters. The performance improvement of the system using proposed decoder modification is shown by numerical simulation of the decoder output signal, average signal to interference difference and bit error probability as a function of active user number and weight of codeword for the different topology of the decoder. The influence of non-ideal properties of the used optical hard-limiters upon average signal to interference difference and bit error probability in system is studied.
