Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the circuit and to make the operation stable by using a mean DC detector so as to control a DC APD. CONSTITUTION:A mean value of a signal current of an APD 1 is detected by a mean DC current detector 4, the voltage and a reference voltage are compared and amplified (5) to control a DC/DC converter 6. Thus, number of multiplication of the APD 1 is controlled, negative feedback is operated so that the mean DC of the APD 1 is always constant against the fluctuation of an optical input signal to apply AGC control.

The APD II signal current is transferred to the preamplifier 12 and amplifier 1.
3 performs voltage conversion and amplification, clamp circuit 14 performs DC regeneration,
The peak value or amplitude of the signal is detected by the peak value detection circuit 15, and this output and the reference voltage are compared and amplified by the amplifier 16. By controlling the DC/DC converter 17, the output signal 18 can be maintained even if the optical signal fluctuates. It is possible to always maintain a constant amplitude value stably.6 (Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above configuration, a clamp for DC reproduction and a peak value detection for signal level detection are required. However, as the signal band becomes higher, it becomes difficult to implement the circuit.6 The object of the present invention is to eliminate the conventional drawbacks and provide an AGC circuit that can be realized with a simple circuit configuration at the DC level. That's true.
