Abstract

A clock recovery circuit for a 40 Gb/s optical receiver has been designed and implemented. The clock recovery circuit consists of pre-amplifiers, a nonlinear circuit with diodes, a bandpass filter and a clock amplifier. Before implementing the 40 Gb/s clock recovery circuit, a 10 Gb/s clock recovery circuit has been successfully implemented and tested. With the 40 Gb/s clock recovery circuit, when a 40 Gb/s signal of -10 dBm was applied to the input of the circuit, the 40 GHz clock was recovered with the -20 dBm output power after passing through the nonlinear circuit. The output signal from the nonlinear circuit passes through a narrow-band filter, and then amplified. The implemented clock recovery circuit is planned to be used for the input of a phase locked loop to further stabilize the recovered clock signal and to reduce the clock jitter.

40 Gb/s 광 수신기용 클락 복원회로를 설계 및 제작하였다. 클락 복원회로는 전치 증폭기, 다이오드를 이용한 비선형 회로, 대역통과 필터, 클락 증폭기로 구성되어 있다. 40 Gb/s 클락 복원회로를 제작하기에 앞서 10 Gb/s 클락 복원회로를 제작, 측정하였다. 40 Gb/s 클락 복원회로에 -10 dBm의 40 Gb/s NRZ 신호를 입력하였을 때, 비선형 회로를 통과한 후에 40 GHz의 클락이 출력 전력 -20 dBm으로 복원되었다. 비선형 회로를 통과하여 복원된 클락은 협대역 필터를 통과하고, 증폭되게 된다. 제작된 클락 복원회로는 클락의 지터를 감소시키고, 더욱 안정화 시키기 위하여 위상 동기 회로의 입력으로 사용되게 된다.
