Abstract
Multiple pulse position modulation is one of many modulation techniques that are appropriate for optical communication systems. In this paper, a brief description of MPPM is introduced. More importantly, the error rate performance of MPPM is discussed as the main topic. It is investigated in both theoretical part by mathematical models and experimental part by MATLAB tool and some other techniques. It can be found that the error rate performance of MPPM can be affected by several factors such as signal to noise ratio (SNR), the figure of chips in each symbol, the operating bit rate level and the number of optical pulses. Besides, let LPPM compared with MPPM, MPPM has higher error rate in ideal circumstances. However, there are still limitations in this paper, only preliminary works were done to analyze the MPPM error rate. Therefore, further progress can be made in this topic and other facets of MPPM can also be researched to reach an achievement.
