    摘要: A system for monitoring a network in which a station is connected to the network and includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter outputs a signal modulated with outgoing traffic onto the network and the receiver receives a signal from the network modulated with incoming traffic. The station includes a monitoring circuit which introduces a variable delay in a signal from the transmitter and combines the delayed signal with the received signal so as to produce an output dependent upon the correlation of the signal from the transmitter and the received signal at the given delay. Preferably, the network is an optical network and the delay is introduced by a programmable delay line.

The line terminal(I) has a terminal unit (BTS(n)) for relatively narrow bandwidth traffic, and a second terminal unit (BTS(1) to BTS(n-1)) for relatively wider bandwidth traffic. A time domain multiplexer (14) is arranged to multiplex the traffic from the first and second terminal unit for downstream transmission over the network (18). Each customer terminal (2) has a first service unit for relatively narrow bandwidth traffic and a second service unit for relatively wider bandwidth traffic. Each customer terminal (2) has a demultiplexer (22) arranged to receive multiplexed downstream traffic from the network (18), and to segregate the traffic between the first and second service unit. Each customer terminal (2) has control elements for generating relatively narrow bandwidth control signals for upstream transmission over the network, the second terminal unit (BTS(1) to BTS(n-1)) of the line terminal (1) being responsive to the control signals from a given customer terminal (2) to control the transmission of the relatively wider bandwidth traffic to that customer terminal. The downstream transmission is by TDM and the upstream transmission is by TDMA.

    摘要: A test apparatus is designed for use with a TPON system including a headend station connected via a fibre optic network to a plurality of terminations. The test apparatus is a self-contained unit including a connection for linking the apparatus to a termination, a first detection circuit which detects status signals generated by the termination, and a second detection circuit which detects alarm signals generated in the head-end station and transmitted to the termination in a downstream data frame. The test apparatus in response to the first and second test circuits provides an output which indicates the condition of the termination. In one example, a series of indicator lamps formed on the housing for the test apparatus are lit to provide the appropriate output.

    摘要: A head-end station for a passive optical network system arranged to transmit and receive TDMA frames having a header portion and a plurality of basic frames, each basic frame includes traffic bits and control bits. The head-end station includes a data transmitter which assembles and transmits downstream frames and also generates a diagnostic signal for transmission in a downstream frame, the station being switchable to a diagnostic mode in which it transmits the diagnostic signal in a downstream frame in the absence of other traffic, and also including a data receiver which receives upstream frames and detects a return of the diagnostic signal. In a preferred example, the head-end station may transmit a diagnostic signal in the header portion of each downstream frame. Also, in a test mode the transmit signal is looped back to the receiver to enable testing of the transmit receive function. Loop back is provided at three levels, namely the transmitter drive level, the monitored output level and at the laser output receiver input level.

The upstream TDMA frame includes a quiet phase during which none of the terminations transmit. The station (1) includes an opto-electronic receiver (4), a DC clamping circuit (10) for the opto-electronic receiver (4) and a clamping pulse generator. The clamping pulse generator is arranged to generate a pulse at a predetermined time falling within the quiet phase to operate the DC clamping circuit to clamp signals received during the remainder of the TDMA frame to a DC reference level received during the quiet phase.

    摘要: A passive optical network includes a head-end station and a plurality of terminations. The terminations are responsive to control signals from the head-end station. The head-end station is arranged to receive frames having a predetermined bit rate and comprising signals transmitted by the terminations. Ranging pulses are transmitted from each of the terminations to the head-end station where the received ranging pulses are sampled at a high sampling rate greater than the predetermined bit rate. The data samples are applied to a processor which determines the phase and amplitude of the ranging pulses and generates control signals for the terminations to modify the phase or timing and amplitude of the transmissions from the terminations. A locally generated marker pulse may be applied to the incoming data frame before it is sampled in the head-end station, the marker pulse providing a phase and amplitude reference for use by the control processor.
