About the project
DSPMetroNet - DSP Functions for Simplified Coherent Transceivers in Optical Metropolitan Networks is a 3-Year FCT project that will address the most challenging paradigms in coherent access and metro networks. This work will benefit from the extensive knowledge and expertise of the DSPMetroNet research team, gained through the lead and participation on several research projects on this topic, where several advanced DSP techniques were developed, and coherent ultra-dense WDM passive access networks were proposed. The DSPMetroNet will therefore strongly contribute to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed cost-effective transceivers to boost future coherent ultra-dense WDM metro networks.
DSPMetroNet's main objective is to investigate, develop and validate new technological paradigms in terms of optical coherent detection schemes and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to support optical coherent transceivers for future optical metro networks.
Start/End Date
From 01-07-2018 to 31-12-2021.
