BER estimation of optical WDM RZ-DPSK systems through the differential phase Q

The optical return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying system is analyzed to determine the accuracy of the differential phase Q method in estimating the bit-error rate (BER). It is found that it consistently underestimates the BER though it successfully predicts the qualitative behavior of singl...
