    摘要: Two D flip-flops (D-FFMA, D-FFMB) output two half-rate signals (DMR-A, DMR-B) by dividing a digital input signal (DM) into two signals and retiming them based on a clock signal (CLK) and a negative-phase clock signal (CLKB). First and second switches (SM1, SM2) are driven by the two half-rate signals (DMR-A, DMR-B). Third and fourth switches (SM3, SM4) are driven by a select signal SW and a negative-phase select signal SWB that have the same frequency as that of the clock signal TO (CLK) but a different phase from that of the clock signal (CLK). The current supplied from a current source (1) to a load (4) thus becomes a current signal corresponding to a conversion frequency twice the frequency of the clock signal (CLK).

    摘要: To enable signal position detection, frequency offset compensation, clock offset compensation, and chromatic dispersion amount estimation in a communication system based on coherent detection using an optical signal, even on a signal having a great offset in an arrival time depending on a frequency due to chromatic dispersion. An optical signal transmitting apparatus generates specific frequency band signals having power concentrated on two or more specific frequencies and transmits a signal including the specific frequency band signals. An optical signal receiving apparatus converts a received signal into a digital signal, detects positions of the specific frequency band signals from the converted digital signal, estimates frequency positions of the detected specific frequency band signals, and detects a frequency offset between an optical signal receiving apparatus and an optical signal transmitting apparatus. Moreover, the optical signal receiving apparatus detects a clock offset between the optical signal receiving apparatus and the optical signal transmitting apparatus from an interval between the estimated frequency positions of the specific frequency band signals. Furthermore, the optical signal receiving apparatus estimates temporal positions of the detected specific frequency band signals and detects a chromatic dispersion amount from a difference between the temporal positions of the specific frequency band signals corresponding to different frequencies.
