20150282180 | Dynamic allocation of network bandwidth - A bandwidth reallocation circuit can monitor data traffic to and/or from logical network segments (LNSs) of a segmented network. As the data traffic rate to and/or from individual LNSs changes, the bandwidth reallocation circuit can dynamically reallocate the total bandwidth among the LNSs to meet changing bandwidth needs. Thus, as some of the LNSs become busy with data traffic, network bandwidth can be temporarily borrowed for less active LNSs. This can result in more efficient use of the network bandwidth capacity of the network than has been achieved in the prior art, which can significantly increase the speed at which data can be uploaded and/or downloaded to the individual LNSs. | 10-01-2015 |

20140270807 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPRESSION OF EVEN-ORDER PHOTODIODE DISTORTIONS - A system for suppressing even-order distortion in a photonic link includes a laser for providing laser light to a first input of a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), where the MZM has a second input for receiving an RF input signal, a third input for applying a DC bias voltage to the MZM, and an optical signal output. A dc-voltage-biased photodiode has an input, coupled to the MZM optical signal output, and a modulated RF signal output. The MZM DC bias voltage is set at a value to generate an even-order distortion amplitude substantially equal to an even-order distortion amplitude from the photodiode and 180 degrees out of phase so as to substantially cancel the photodiode even-order distortion. The invention provides the cancellation of photodiode even-order distortion via predisortion linearization with a MZM biased slightly away from quadrature, employing a single fiber run and a single photodiode. The invention provides an improvement in carrier-to-intermodulation ratio (CIR) upwards of 40 dB. | 09-18-2014 |
