The application provides a blind
carrier phase recovery method and
system for
optical fiber communication. At the sending end, first, the
QAM symbol
stream is grouped, and a reference
pilot with a specific fixed amplitude is inserted according to the quadrant in which the first symbol of each symbol group is located. At the receiving end, after the preliminary blind
carrier phase estimation is completed, the original quadrant corresponding to the reference
pilot is identified by using the minimum
Euclidean distance detection mechanism, and then the actual quadrant position of the
pilot in the received
signal is compared, so as to analyze the phase
ambiguity offset with 90 degrees as the base, and accordingly, the
phase correction is implemented on the corresponding symbol group. The application effectively breaks through the four-fold
rotational symmetry limitation of the traditional
constellation diagram by means of
amplitude modulation coding, and can accurately identify and correct the fixed-angle
phase deviation occurring in the blind phase
recovery process. The method can significantly suppress the error code
diffusion caused by the phase
ambiguity, improve the
transmission performance of the
system in terms of the
bit error rate and the generalized
mutual information, and has good
algorithm compatibility and
engineering implementation convenience, and the
system overhead is effectively controlled.
