OBM-OQAM transmitter scheme.
(a) Equidistant optical carriers are split into M branches, each one is modulated by N electrical MC-OQAM subbands. Then all N × M subbands are combined to form an OBM-OQAM superchannel. The adjacent subbands have a constant interval that equals to the symbol rate even though they originate from different brunches. (b) Generation of electrical MC-OQAM signal.
