Impact of transmission parameters on Nyquist WDM system

In this paper the analysis of the transmission quality in Nyquist WDM transport system is presented. Results are presented of a system simulation carried out for different modulation format, symbol rates, channel spacing and filter characteristics of the transmitter and receiver. This paper also contains the comparison between results obtained for the N-WDM (Nyquist Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system. Two quality indicators are taken into consideration: interchannel crosstalk and symbol error rate for both different system configurations.
