FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.
A bandpass filter 11 for taking out the frequency components within the bandwidth f 0 at the center frequency f 0, an amplifier 12 for amplifying the output of the bandpass filter 11, a detector 13 and 14, and a differential amplifier 15. Bandpass filter 11 extracts the frequency component of a predetermined bandwidth at the center frequency f 0. The amplifier 12 amplifies the predetermined frequency component attenuated and extracted by the bandpass filter 11 to a level before the attenuation. The detector 13 detects a predetermined frequency component. Now, the frequency division multiplexed signal Si is input to the bandpass filter 11 to pass only predetermined frequency components,
After amplification by the amplifier 12, detection is performed by the detector 13 to obtain a detection output L1 of a predetermined frequency component. This detection output L1
Indicates the level of distortion noise. Further, the frequency division multiplexed signal Si is detected by the detector 14 and the frequency division multiplexed signal Si is detected.
The detection power L2 of Si is obtained. By inputting the detection outputs L1 and L2 to the differential amplifier 15, a relative value of distortion noise independent of the number of channels of the wave number division multiplexed signal Si can be obtained. By using this relative value as the distortion monitor output Sm, it is possible to monitor the occurrence of distortion noise due to nonlinearity.
