摘要: A coupling module can be used to communicate high speed signals between an optical transceiver and a processing module of an optical communication device, such as an optical line termination (OLT) or an optical network unit (ONU). The coupling module can adjust the common mode voltage level of a differential signal output by the optical transceiver to the common mode voltage level required by the processing module. In addition, the coupling module splits each of the differential output signals from the optical transceiver and passes the split signals to both a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter that are connected in parallel. An adapter module can be connected to the coupling module such that the coupling module can receive different differential signals from different optical transceivers.

The outputs of the high-pass filter and the low-pass filter from different paths of the differential signal are cross-coupled and combined to provide a differential signal to the processing module.

摘要: An attenuation circuit with stages having constant dB steps between stages is provided. The attenuation circuit can be configured as a ladder network using resistors having three different values. A first resistor can be connected between the last stage of the attenuation circuit and ground and have a first predetermined resistance. One or more second resistors can be connected in each stage and have a second predetermined resistance based on the first predetermined resistance and the dB step between stages. One or more third resistors can be connected in parallel to the first resistor for the remaining stages and have a third predetermined resistance based on the first predetermined resistance and the dB step between stages.

摘要: A configurable connector is provided for a communication device, such as a gateway, that is located outdoors. The connector can engage with a corresponding interface of the gateway to provide communication signals and power signals to the communication device. The connector can be configured to select the power type provided to the communication device via the connector. The connector can have a first configuration to provide a first power type to the communication device or a second configuration to provide a second power type to the communication device. In the first configuration of the connector, power terminals of the connector can be connected directly to corresponding power wires providing the first power type. In the second configuration, the power terminals of the connector can be connected by jumpers to supplemental terminals in the connector that receive the second power type from the communication device.

摘要: An optical transmission system includes a laser module generating a modulated optical waveform, including both amplitude and frequency modulation, at center frequencies corresponding to different operating temperatures; and an optical shaping filter, with passbands corresponding to the different center frequencies, that converts at least part of the frequency modulation to additional amplitude modulation. The optical transmission system is tuned by: determining a range of temperatures at which the laser module center frequencies are within a passband of the optical shaping filter; setting the laser module to a temperature, within the range of temperatures, at which the modulated optical waveform is within the passband; measuring an average output power of the optical shaping filter; and adjusting the temperature of the laser module to a target temperature, within the range of temperatures, at which an output condition is achieved, based on the average output power and/or extinction ratio of the filtered waveform.

摘要: A driver circuit for an optical transmitter includes a main path in parallel with an inverting path. The data signals from the main path and the inverting path can be combined to generate an output signal for a laser diode. The main path can communicate a data signal via a first transmission line and the inverting path can communicate an inverted data signal via a second transmission line. The second transmission line can be longer than the first transmission line in order to delay the inverted data signal. In addition, the inverted data signal can be weighted before being combined with the data signal from the main path.

摘要: Optical telecommunications devices, systems, and methods. In some implementations, an optical networking unit (ONU) includes a multi-rate receiver having an operating bandwidth that is selected operationally based on physical layer characteristics of received signals and information received from a MAC. The ONU can also include an upstream laser circuit having an output impedance that differs from a characteristic impedance of a system in which the laser circuit is implemented. The ONU can also include a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) having at least one tap weight that is fixed to facilitate convergence of the DFE when signals received by the DFE would otherwise fail to meet characteristics required for DFE convergence.

摘要: A distribution amplifier for a communication device such as a gateway is provided. The distribution amplifier can receive an input signal and provide multiple output signals. The distribution amplifier can have a transmission line that receives the input signal and multiple amplifier stages that are connected to the transmission line to receive the input signal. The output of the amplifier stages correspond to the output signals from the distribution amplifier. The transmission line has equally spaced connection points for the amplifier stages. The transmission line can be designed to have an impedance that results in the impedance of the transmission line with the connected amplifier stages having a final impedance that matches the input impedance to the transmission line.
