Abstract
An optical receiver includes a detector and frame synchronizer. The detector receives an optical OFDM bit stream having a plurality of frames. Each frame has an in-phase and quadrature phase component. Each component has an OFDM symbol-bearing data payload and a synchronization header. The synchronization header includes a single synchronization pulse. The frame synchronizer detects the synchronization header on each phase component. The frame synchronizer includes first and second pairs of digital comparators for each of the in-phase and quadrature phase components. The first and second pairs of digital comparators associated with each phase component establishes different and adjustable threshold windows that is symmetric about a zero amplitude of the synchronization pulse of the respective phase component. Each frame is synchronized when the synchronization pulse respectively associated therewith is detected as having an amplitude extending beyond at least one of the windows established for one of the phase components.
