Title
Two-Parallel Reed-Solomon Based Fec Architecture For Optical Communications
Abstract
This paper presents a high-speed Forward Error Correction (FEC) architecture based on two-parallel Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder for 10 and 40-Gb/s optical communication systems. A highspeed two-parallel RS(255, 239) decoder has been proposed and the derived structure can also be applied to implement the 10 and 40-Gb/s RS FEC architectures. The implementation results show that 16-Ch. RS FEC architecture can operate at a clock frequency of 160MHz and has a throughput of 41 Gb/s for the Xilinx Virtex4 FPGA. Also, RS FEC operates at a clock frequency of 400MHz and has a throughput of 102 Gb/s for 0.18-mu m CMOS technology.
