Patent ID: 11770276

Abstract:
The disclosed systems and methods for compensating the polarization dependent loss (PDL) in communication networks comprising: i) filtering, by a first feed-forward filter, a current set of symbols in an equalized X-Pol signal; ii) filtering, by a second feed-forward filter, a current set of symbols in an equalized Y-Pol signal; iii) filtering, by a first feed-backward filter, a previously decided set of symbols associated with the equalized X-Pol signal; iv) filtering, by a second feed-backward filter a previously decided set of symbols associated with the equalized Y-Pol signal; v) adding, by a first adder, the outputs from the first feed-forward filter and the second feed-forward filter; and vi) subtracting, by the first adder, the outputs from the first feed-backward filter and the second feed-backward filter from the addition of outputs from the first feed-forward filter and the second feed-forward filter to determine the symbols in the equalized X-Pol signal.
