Training Sequences in 16-QAM and<br />
QPSK Coherent Pol-Mux Single-Carrier<br />
Systems, C. Do, University of Melbourne,<br />
Parkville, Australia<br />
We provide a performance comparison of new<br />
training sequences in 16-QAM and QPSK<br />
coherent polarization-multiplexed single-carrier<br />
system. Two types of binary sequences are<br />
compared under various impairments to confirm<br />
similar performance to ideal Chu sequences.<br />
