Optimization analysis on the bandwidth algorithm for the phase-locked loop (PLL) in OTU

The bandwidth of phase-locked loop (PLL) in optical transponder unit (OTU) is affected by both the external input jitter and the internal phase noise jitter, so the selection for the bandwidth of the PLL has a contradiction and it is necessary that the bandwidth is optimally designed. Under the consideration of both the external input jitter and the internal phase noise, the bandwidth algorithm of the PLL is comprehensively analyzed, and the optimization algorithm of the bandwidth for the PLL of the OTU can be deduced and obtained through improving the former calculation and analytical methods. The optimal bandwidth of the PLL has been analyzed and obtained so as to ensure that the clock output of the OTU has a lower jitter noise. And then the optimization algorithm is applied in 2.5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s OTU, the optimal parameters of the PLL and the output jitter value of the OTU have been acquired by taking the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the PLL parameters. The study shows the optimization algorithm is superior and feasible as well as it is better used in the OTU and plays an important part in the practical application.
