Implementation of a 10.5 Gb/s real-time CO-OFDM receiver

We demonstrate the implementation of a 10.5 Gb/s real-time CO-OFDM receiver applying two FPGAs driven by 9.8 GSa/s analog to digital converters. A bit error ratio below 10
^-8
has been measured for electrical back-to-back experiment in combination with a 10.5 Gb/s real time transmitter.
