The invention provides a new method and system for low complexity, low cost, small component size, and low power communications. The system provides a digital sub-sampling receiver for multiple-antenna wireless receivers, with reduced number of analog RF / IF chains (or one chain) after a fixed number of receive antennas. The system provides a generator of transmit signals / sequences which are preconditioned by the operation of the system to compensate for spectral effects of ultra-low-rate sub-sampling, in that sequences preserve orthogonality under spectral repetition, spectral translation and spectral inversion. The system provides a management device to provide adaptation in transmit signals / waveforms / patterns as a function of channel and data source variations, such that communication data rates and capacities are maximized. The system can efficiently operate in multi-user multi-channel communication systems. The method implemented by the invention is split in its operation across the transmitter of the transmitting device and the receiver of the receiving device.

Disclosed herein is a reception apparatus including: a spectrum inversion detection section configured to detect the occurrence or absence of spectrum inversion in a received signal complying with the Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial 2 standard known as DVB-T2, using a P1 signal constituting the received signal; a spectrum inversion section configured to perform a spectrum inversion process on the received signal if the occurrence of the spectrum inversion is detected at least by the spectrum inversion detection section; and a demodulation section configured to demodulate the received signal having undergone the spectrum inversion process if the occurrence of the spectrum inversion is detected by the spectrum inversion detection section, the demodulation section further demodulating the received signal yet to undergo the spectrum inversion process if the absence of the spectrum inversion is detected by the spectrum inversion detection section.

A process of correction of the spectral inversion for a receiver in a digital communication system: the process allows the reception in the receiver of a training sequence presumably known according to a modulation of type π / 2 BPSK or MDP2. The process includes the following steps: Demodulating of the training sequence; Calculating of the differential correlation on a set of N received samples (Rn) and presumably sent (Sn) to generate a result; Using the result to detect the beginning of the frame and to order a spectral inversion in the chain of reception of the aforementioned receiver before launching the detection of the beginning of the frame. A receiver to process automatically the spectral inversion is also described.

Methods and systems may estimate nonlinear penalties for optical paths using spectral inversion in optical transport networks. Certain values of nonlinear transfer functions for nonlinear penalty estimation may be pre-calculated for optical paths between given nodes. When an optical path computation for using spectral inversion between a given source node and a given destination node is desired, the pre-calculated values may be concatenated for improved computational efficiency.

Disclosed herein is a modulator (50) for polarization-division multiplexing (PDM) transmission. The modulator (50) comprises first and second DP-MZMs (12, 28) associated with first and second polarizations, each DP-MZM (12, 28) having an input for an in-phase and a quadrature driving signal for modulating the in-phase and quadrature components of an optical signal according to respective transfer functions, and a detector (58) suitable for detecting light comprising at least a portion of the light outputted by the first DP-MZM (12) and a portion of the light outputted by the second DP-MZM (28). The modulator (50) is adapted to superimpose a first pilot signal on one of the in-phase and quadrature driving signals of the first DP-MZM (12) and on one of the in-phase and quadrature driving signals of the second DP-MZM (28), and a second pilot signal on the respective other of the in-phase and quadrature driving signals of the first and second DP-MZMs (12, 28). Further, the first and second pilot signals are chosen such that the signal detected by said detector (58) is indicative as to whether the slopes of the transfer functions are different for the in-phase and quadrature components of one of the first and second DP-MZMs (12, 28) and identical for the other of the first and second DP-MZMs (12, 28).
