Abstract

This paper proposes a novel, to the best of our knowledge, independent triplet-single-sideband (triplet-SSB) transmission system scheme aimed at increasing channel capacity and improving spectrum efficiency. The conventional independent multiband transmission systems are limited by their complexity and high computational requirements, which hinder the improvement of spectrum efficiency and channel capacity. To address these challenges, this scheme uses three independent signals, modulated by an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulator, and transmits them over a 5-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). At the receiver end, a single photodiode (PD) is used for signal reception, and the signals are separated using digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. Through simulation and verification, the feasibility and reliability of the system are demonstrated, with the bit error rates (BERs) of all three signals below the hard decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold value of 3.8 × 10⁻³. This independent triplet-SSB transmission system scheme effectively improves spectrum efficiency and channel capacity, providing a valuable solution for meeting the growing demands of data transmission.
