Abstract - Since dispersion severely damages the data
transmission in optical fiber, we proposed a dispersion
compensation model in order to achieve the high-speed
optical communication system. Pseudo-random binary
sequence (PRBS) is most commonly adopted as the input
sequence to the optical network in previous proposed
models. In this paper, we focused mainly on designing a
dispersion compensation model that uses Gold sequence and
Walsh code as its input sequence instead of PRBS. The values
of Q-factor, bit error rate (BER), eye height and threshold
are determined for each model and are compared with
respect to 40 km fiber length using OPTISYSTEM simulation.
The simulation results of the model having Walsh code are
found to be better over PRBS with comparatively high Q-
factor and low min. BER.
Key Words: Walsh code, PRBS, dispersion compensation,
Q-factor, min. BER, Optisystem.
1. INTRODUCTION
The continuously increasing demands of bandwidth of
communication system are giving rise to the need of
installing new communication links, which would require
huge investments. So it is preferred to increase the
capacity of the existing fiber links of communication
system carriers by using different methods in optical
communication system [1]. The capacity of the system can
be increased by minimizing the losses. Dispersion is
considered to be one of the major parameter in optical
fiber losses. Dispersion is a critical factor that limits the
quality of signal transmission over optical links and leads
to the broadening of light pulses. In previous research
papers related to dispersion compensation technique, one
of the most efficient technologies used to overcome
chromatic dispersion problem is Fiber Bragg Grating
(FBG) due to its low cost and its negligible effect. To
encounter the attenuation effects various types of
amplifiers such as Erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA),
Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Raman
amplifier have been introduced. However, EDFA still
provide better results. In this paper, we propose a new
model which includes the implementation of FBG and
EDFA to overcome chromatic dispersion and to optimize
the quality of the received signal. The main area of our
work is the type of input source used in the dispersion
compensation network. In the first section, we present a
study of the model previously proposed by other authors
i.e. dispersion compensation network with PRBS as input
sequence. Then using the optimized setting parameters we
compare the transmission system under study with the
proposed model having Walsh code as its input. The
comparison has been done in terms of Q-Factor, BER, eye
height, threshold value and their eye diagrams at the
received signal. The simulation results demonstrate the
high efficiency of the developed transmission system.
2. PSEUDO RANDOM BINARY SEQUENCE
A Pseudo random binary sequence, also commonly known
as pseudo- noise (PN) sequence is used widely in digital
communication. The bit pattern of a sequence never
repeats if it is a truly random sequence. The meaning of
the qualifier "pseudo" is that the sequence is not truly
random. Basically, it is periodic with a specific period, and
shows some characteristics of a random white sequence
within that period. Thus PRBS is a semi-random sequence
because it appears to be random within the length of
sequence and hence fulfills the needs of randomness, but
the whole sequence repeats indefinitely [2]. Pseudo
random sequence plays a significant part in encoding of
message for efficient message transmission. It is most
commonly adopted input sequence to the optical network
in previous models proposed by other authors.
PRBS is considered as an ideal test signal, since it
simulates the random characteristics of a digital signal. It
is a bit stream of occurring randomly Ǯͳǯs and ǮͲǯs, with
some unique properties. These sequences are statistically
random sequences with low correlation property. These
sequences can be generated very easily and quickly
through some simple electronic circuits. PRBS is generated
by Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSR). If the number
of stages in LFSR is r then

Equation (1) uses the parameter P that is the period of the
sequence. PRBS serves as a reference pattern with known
random characteristics for the analysis, optimization and
