Phase locked loop synchronization for direct detection optical PPM communication systems [microform] : technical report / by C.C. Chen, C.S. Gardner.

"Receiver timing synchronization of an optical pulse position modulation (PPM) communication system can be achieved using a phase locked loop (PLL) if the photodetector output is properly processed. The synchronization performance is shown to improve with increasing signal power and decreasing...
