    摘要: A transmission characteristic compensation system enables to reduce the generation of transmission deterioration by estimating an initially selected control direction, and also to compensate in advance with a setting value estimation so as to suppress the generation of transmission deterioration in advance. The transmission characteristic compensation control system includes a variable compensator having a control circuit; and an optimal setting value calculation portion for calculating an optimal setting value for the control circuit, wherein the optimal setting value calculation portion estimates future transmission deterioration on a predetermined time-by-time basis to set into the control circuit the optimal setting value for compensating the estimated transmission deterioration performed by the variable compensator.

    摘要: A digital signal receiving apparatus is disclosed. The digital signal receiving apparatus includes a main signal discriminating unit configured to discriminate a main signal of a received signal, a monitor signal discriminating unit configured to discriminate a monitor signal of the received signal, an error monitoring unit configured to monitor a discriminating error of the monitor signal discriminating unit, and a discriminating point control unit configured to control the discriminating points of the main signal discriminating unit and the monitor signal discriminating unit. The discriminating point control unit monitors an output of the error monitoring unit, moves the discriminating point of the monitor signal discriminating unit in the amplitude directions and the phase directions such that a discriminating error occurs, detects a center of discriminating points where errors are generated, and sets the detected center of the discriminating points as the discriminating point of the main signal discriminating unit.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide an optical amplifying apparatus for collectively amplifying wavelength-division multiplexed signal lights, which can perform amplification in response to input signal light, whose power level is within a wide input dynamic range, without saturating, and which suppresses the influence of the wavelength dependency of gain thereof. Thus, this optical amplifying apparatus is composed of: three optical amplifying portions connected in cascade; an optical attenuating portion for controlling the level of signal light output from the optical amplifying portion provided in the post-stage by regulating the power level of signal light input to the optical amplifying portion provided in the middle stage; and a dispersion compensation fiber provided between the middle stage and post stage optical amplifying. A gain of each of the optical amplifying portions is controlled to be constant by an AGC circuit. As a result of providing the optical amplifying portions in a three-stage constitution, the gain of optical amplifying portion provided in the first stage can be set at a low value. Thus, even when a signal light having a high power level is input, the first stage optical amplifying portion does not saturate. Consequently, the gain is controlled to be constant.
