Abstract:
A method for optical communication in a bidirectional optical communication network is proposed. The network comprises a plurality of optical line terminals which communicate with a plurality of optical network units over an optical distribution network. The optical distribution network comprises a plurality of optical filters controlled by a network controller. A first optical line terminal sends a request for optical communication with at least one optical network unit to the network controller. The request is sent over the optical distribution network and indicates an operating wavelength of the first optical line terminal and of the at least one optical network unit. The network controller configures at least two of said optical filters to allow a passing through of said operating wavelength or of a further operating wavelength. Finally the optical communication between the first optical line terminal and the at least one optical network unit in said operating or in said further operating wavelength is established through said optical filters.

The amplified optical signal is sent from the first optical network unit to the first circulator through the optical splitter and is further sent from the first circulator to a further of the plurality of optical network units.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for multi-band testing. A first multi-carrier signal in a lower frequency band of the maximum radio bandwidth of the multi-band transmitter is received. The first multi-carrier signal has a narrowband carrier located at the higher edge of the lower frequency band and a wideband carrier. A second multi-carrier signal in a higher frequency band of the maximum radio bandwidth of the multi-band transmitter is received. The second multi- carrier signal has a narrowband carrier located at the lower edge of the higher frequency band and a wideband carrier. Between the lower frequency band and the higher frequency band, a frequency gap is present. The wideband carrier in the lower frequency band is located in the lower frequency band such that its third order intermodulation product with the narrowband carrier in the lower frequency band is generated in the middle of the frequency gap. The wideband carrier in the higher frequency band is located in the higher frequency band such that its third order intermodulation product with the narrowband carrier in the higher frequency band is generated in the middle of the frequency gap. The transmitter test is performed with the first and second signal.
