Description

光傳輸衛星降頻器與其光傳輸接收器Optical transmission satellite frequency reducer and optical transmission receiver

本發明是有關於一種光傳輸衛星降頻器,特別是關於具備接收衛星電視、數位無線電視、數位音訊廣播及有線電視信號或可用於連結被動式光纖網路的一種光傳輸衛星降頻器及其光傳輸接收器。The present invention relates to an optical transmission satellite downconverter, and more particularly to an optical transmission satellite downconverter having a receiving satellite television, a digital television, a digital audio broadcasting and a cable television signal or can be used to connect a passive optical network and Optical transmission receiver.

衛星直播系統(Direct Broadcasting Satellite,簡稱DBS)是利用高空同步衛星作為電視節目信號的傳輸媒介,透過地面電臺將節目發送到衛星,再透過衛星的轉頻器(transponder)將微波信號變換頻率介於10.7~12.75 GHz後,再下傳信號至地面收視戶的接收端,其中下傳信號包括四個不同的極化射頻波段,分別為水平極化波高頻段信號(horizontal high band,HH)、水平極化波低頻段信號(horizontal low band,HL)、垂直極化波高頻段信號(vertical high band,VH)及垂直極化波低頻段信號(vertical low band,VL)。The Direct Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) is a transmission medium that uses high-altitude geosynchronous satellites as a television program signal. The program is transmitted to the satellite through a terrestrial station, and the microwave signal is transposed through a satellite transponder. After 10.7~12.75 GHz, the signal is sent back to the receiving end of the terrestrial viewer. The downlink signal includes four different polarized RF bands, which are horizontal high-band signals (HH) and horizontal poles. The low-band signal (HL), the vertical high-band (VH), and the vertical low-band (VL).

地面收視戶透過設於室外的衛星碟形天線、以及固定在該衛星碟形天線的拋物面焦點上的衛星降頻器(或稱低雜訊降頻器,low-noise block,又簡稱為LNB),接收衛星下傳的四個極化射頻信號(HH、HL、VH、VL),且將信號降頻、放大、濾除雜訊轉換成頻率介於0.95~5.45 GHz的中頻信號後,再通過同軸電纜傳輸至用戶端調諧器或機上盒解碼後,最後呈現於收視戶的電視螢慕。然而,同軸電纜中的信號會隨著傳送距離產生信號衰減(attenuation)的情形,特別是傳送信號的頻率越高,衰減幅度越大。所以,衛星直播系統(DBS)使用同軸電纜傳送衛星電視信號,一直受到高頻信號衰減較大的限制,易造成信號失真,且不利於將信號分送給多個室內用戶和長距離傳輸應用。The ground-based viewers pass through a satellite dish located outside and a satellite down-converter (or low-noise block, also referred to as LNB) fixed to the parabolic focus of the satellite dish. Receiving four polarized RF signals (HH, HL, VH, VL) transmitted by the satellite, and converting the signal down, amplifying, filtering noise into an intermediate frequency signal with a frequency between 0.95 and 5.45 GHz, and then After being transmitted to the client tuner or the set-top box through the coaxial cable, the TV is finally presented to the viewer. However, the signal in the coaxial cable will attenuate the signal with the transmission distance, especially the higher the frequency of the transmitted signal, the greater the attenuation. Therefore, the satellite live broadcast system (DBS) uses coaxial cable to transmit satellite television signals, which has been limited by the high-frequency signal attenuation, which is easy to cause signal distortion, and is not conducive to distributing signals to multiple indoor users and long-distance transmission applications.

為解決此問題,衛星直播系統(DBS)發展到使用混合式光纖同軸電纜(Hybrid Fiber Coax,HFC)來傳輸衛星電視信號,透過架構光通訊網路做為點對多點信號廣播或點對點長距離傳輸的媒介,解決了部份高頻信號會衰減及失真的問題。然而,在傳輸過程中,較高頻段的衛星中頻信號即使轉換成光信號且透過光纖傳輸,因為光纖具有色散的特性,傳輸後會造成較高頻段的信號遭遇較嚴重的信號失真。To solve this problem, the satellite live broadcast system (DBS) has been developed to use Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) to transmit satellite TV signals through a structured optical communication network for point-to-multipoint signal broadcasting or point-to-point long-distance transmission. The medium solves the problem that some high frequency signals will attenuate and be distorted. However, in the transmission process, the satellite IF signal of the higher frequency band is converted into an optical signal and transmitted through the optical fiber. Because the optical fiber has the characteristics of dispersion, the signal of the higher frequency band may encounter more severe signal distortion after transmission.

The multimedia signal, and through the signal superposition technology, the received 5~900 MHz multimedia signal is modulated with the 0.95~3.0 GHz horizontal intermediate frequency signal or the vertical intermediate frequency signal to the optical signal of different wavelengths. Then, the optical signals having different wavelengths are converged into one beam.

圖1是一種光傳輸衛星降頻器的結構示意圖及其處理衛星電視信號的流程圖。在衛星直播系統中,在社區或家庭收視端方面,如圖1所示的一種光傳輸衛星降頻器(Optical LNB)10可以取代傳統的衛星降頻器。光傳輸衛星降頻器10將接收到的四個極化射頻信號轉換成中頻信號後,再將中頻信號(電子信號)轉換成光信號及透過單條光纖傳輸出去,而且在傳輸過程中,光信號不容易衰減及失真,可視需要隨時連接光分配器(optical splitter)將點對點的光通訊傳輸變成點對多點的光通訊廣播網路。因此,衛星電視信號可以獨立地傳輸到社區或家庭收視端的所有用戶,且不會干擾到多路光通訊廣播網路上的其他用戶。在相同時段下,社區或家庭收視端可以隨時選擇收看不同衛星直播節目,完全互不干擾,據此解決了以往社區或家庭收視端共用衛星碟形天線所遭遇的問題。1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical transmission satellite frequency reducer and a flow chart for processing satellite television signals. In the satellite live broadcast system, an optical transmission satellite frequency reducer (Optical LNB) 10 as shown in FIG. 1 can replace the traditional satellite frequency reducer in the community or home viewing terminal. The optical transmission satellite frequency reducer 10 converts the received four polarized radio frequency signals into intermediate frequency signals, and then converts the intermediate frequency signals (electronic signals) into optical signals and transmits them through a single optical fiber, and during transmission, The optical signal is not easily attenuated and distorted. It can be connected to an optical splitter at any time to turn the point-to-point optical communication transmission into a point-to-multipoint optical communication broadcast network. Therefore, satellite TV signals can be transmitted independently to all users in the community or home viewing terminal without interfering with other users on the multi-channel optical communication broadcast network. In the same period of time, the community or family viewing terminal can choose to watch different satellite live broadcast programs at any time, completely without mutual interference, thereby solving the problems encountered in the community or family viewing terminal sharing satellite dish antennas.

如圖1所示,所述光傳輸衛星降頻器10包括:一波導探針11、一降頻濾波電路13、一雙工器(diplexer)15、放大器16及一光發射模組17。另外,所述光傳輸衛星降頻器10的輸出端連接至一光纜18與另一端的光接收模組19構成光纖通訊傳輸系統。由上述觀點可知,所述光傳輸衛星降頻器10為一種光傳輸傳送器,而光接收模組19為光纜18的另一端的光傳輸接收器的組成元件之一。As shown in FIG. 1 , the optical transmission satellite frequency reducer 10 includes a waveguide probe 11 , a down conversion filter circuit 13 , a duplexer 15 , an amplifier 16 , and a light emitting module 17 . In addition, the output end of the optical transmission satellite frequency reducer 10 is connected to an optical cable 18 and the optical receiving module 19 at the other end constitutes an optical fiber communication transmission system. It can be seen from the above that the optical transmission satellite downconverter 10 is an optical transmission transmitter, and the optical receiving module 19 is one of the constituent elements of the optical transmission receiver at the other end of the optical cable 18.

所述光傳輸衛星降頻器10的使用方式,仍然是固定在衛星碟形天線的拋物面焦點上,且利用波導探針11接收衛星下傳的衛星訊號S1,衛星訊號S1包括四個極化射頻信號(HH、HL、VH、VL)。降頻濾波電路13連接至波導探針11,透過降頻濾波電路13,將射頻頻段的水平極化信號(HH、HL)及垂直極化信號(VH、VL)分別降頻。降頻濾波電路13可以包括兩個處理路徑,其第一處理路徑包括一低雜訊放大器(low noise amplifier)131、一帶通濾波器(bandpass filter)132、一混波器(mixer)133與一介質振盪器(dielectric resonance oscillator,DRO)134;其第二處理路徑包括一低雜訊放大器135、一帶通濾波器136、一混波器137與一介質振盪器138。如圖1所示,第一處理路徑藉由介質振盪器134提供的位於7.3 GHz的振盪信號與混波器133,將垂直極化信號(VH、VL)降至屬於3.4~5.45 GHz的中頻頻率,而第二處理路徑藉由介質振盪器138提供的位於9.75 GHz的振盪信號與混波器137,將水平極化信號(HH、HL)降至屬於0.95~3.0 GHz的中頻頻率。The optical transmission satellite frequency reducer 10 is still fixed to the parabolic focus of the satellite dish, and receives the satellite signal S1 transmitted by the satellite using the waveguide probe 11, and the satellite signal S1 includes four polarized radio frequencies. Signal (HH, HL, VH, VL). The down-conversion filter circuit 13 is connected to the waveguide probe 11, and is passed through the down-conversion filter circuit 13, and the horizontally polarized signals (HH, HL) and the vertically polarized signals (VH, VL) in the radio frequency band are respectively down-converted. The down-conversion filter circuit 13 may include two processing paths, and the first processing path includes a low noise amplifier 131, a bandpass filter 132, a mixer 133 and a A dielectric oscillator (DRO) 134; the second processing path includes a low noise amplifier 135, a band pass filter 136, a mixer 137, and a dielectric oscillator 138. As shown in FIG. 1, the first processing path reduces the vertically polarized signal (VH, VL) to an intermediate frequency of 3.4 to 5.45 GHz by the 7.3 GHz oscillating signal and the mixer 133 provided by the dielectric oscillator 134. The frequency, while the second processing path reduces the horizontally polarized signal (HH, HL) to an intermediate frequency of 0.95 to 3.0 GHz by the oscillating signal at 9.75 GHz and the mixer 137 provided by the dielectric oscillator 138.

但是,水平極化信號(HH、HL)及垂直極化信號(VH、VL)降頻後的工作頻率,需分佈到互不干擾的中頻頻率範圍後,再輸入到雙工器15的不同輸入端。通過雙工器15的控制,兩個不同頻率的中頻信號將匯聚從雙工器15的同一輸出端輸出,經過放大器16進行信號放大後,再由光發射模組17以光波為載波,將電子信號調變為光信號後傳送入光纜18。光信號經由同條光纜18傳輸到社區或家庭收視端的光接收模組19,光接收模組19將光信號轉換回電子信號,再通過調頻解碼後,最後輸出到電視終端收視。如圖1所示,在放大器16進行放大前的中頻信號S2與光接收模組19轉換後的電子信號S3具有相同的中頻頻率,例如水平線性極化信號(HH、HL)介於頻率0.95~3.0 GHz之間,而垂直線性極化信號(VH、VL)介於頻率3.4~5.45 GHz之間。However, the operating frequency after the horizontally polarized signal (HH, HL) and the vertically polarized signal (VH, VL) are down-converted needs to be distributed to the intermediate frequency range that does not interfere with each other, and then input to the duplexer 15 differently. Input. Through the control of the duplexer 15, two intermediate frequency signals of different frequencies will be aggregated and outputted from the same output end of the duplexer 15, and after being amplified by the amplifier 16, the optical transmitting module 17 will use the optical wave as a carrier. The electronic signal is modulated into an optical signal and transmitted to the optical cable 18. The optical signal is transmitted to the optical receiving module 19 of the community or the home viewing end via the same optical cable 18. The optical receiving module 19 converts the optical signal back to the electronic signal, and then decodes it by FM, and finally outputs it to the television terminal for viewing. As shown in FIG. 1, the intermediate frequency signal S2 before the amplifier 16 performs amplification has the same intermediate frequency as the electronic signal S3 converted by the light receiving module 19, for example, the horizontal linearly polarized signal (HH, HL) is at a frequency. Between 0.95 and 3.0 GHz, the vertically linearly polarized signals (VH, VL) are between 3.4 and 5.45 GHz.

光傳輸衛星降頻器10的缺點,在於衛星中頻信號的處理方式,對於射頻信號降頻後的水平極化信號(HH及HL)及垂直極化信號(VH及VL),因為是分佈到互不干擾的四個不相同頻率,而且只使用一組光發射模組17將中頻信號調變成光信號。如此配置結果會造成分佈後的四個不相同頻率即使均屬中頻範圍,但其中的水平極化信號(HH及HL)或是垂直極化信號(VH及VL)仍需要在較高頻段予以處理。例如,水平極化信號(HH及HL)經過降頻轉換成頻率介於0.95~3.0 GHz的中頻信號,垂直極化信號(VH及VL)經過降頻就需轉換成頻率介於3.4~5.45 GHz的較高中頻信號,反之亦然。在光信號的傳輸過程中,較高頻段的衛星中頻信號即使轉換成光信號且透過光纖傳輸,因為光纖具有色散的特性,傳輸後會造成較高頻段的信號遭遇信號失真。The shortcoming of the optical transmission satellite frequency reducer 10 lies in the processing method of the satellite intermediate frequency signal, and the horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) and the vertically polarized signals (VH and VL) after the frequency reduction of the radio frequency signal are distributed to Four different frequencies that do not interfere with each other, and only one set of light emitting modules 17 are used to convert the intermediate frequency signal into an optical signal. The result of this configuration will cause the four different frequencies after the distribution to be in the intermediate frequency range, but the horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) or the vertically polarized signals (VH and VL) still need to be given in the higher frequency bands. deal with. For example, horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) are down-converted into intermediate frequency signals with frequencies between 0.95 and 3.0 GHz. Vertically polarized signals (VH and VL) are converted to frequencies between 3.4 and 5.45. Higher IF signals in GHz and vice versa. During the transmission of the optical signal, the satellite IF signal of the higher frequency band is converted into an optical signal and transmitted through the optical fiber. Because the optical fiber has the characteristics of dispersion, the signal of the higher frequency band is subjected to signal distortion after transmission.

A local-end oscillating signal is supplied to the mixer 234, and the vertically-polarized signals (VH and VL) are down-converted to an intermediate frequency signal having a frequency between 0.95 and 3.0 GHz, and then filtered by a bandpass filter 235, and then output. The filtered intermediate frequency signals (including the vertically polarized signals (VH and VL)) are supplied to the first light emitting module 25.

更清楚地說明,在第一處理路徑中,低雜訊放大器232增益由所述波導探針21所接收的垂直極化信號(VH及VL)。帶通濾波器233連接至低雜訊放大器232,過濾已增益的垂直極化信號(VH及VL)在第一處理路徑預設頻段之外的雜訊。介質振盪器231提供頻率為9.75 GHz的本地端振盪信號。混波器234連接至帶通濾波器233與介質振盪器231,用來接收本地端振盪信號與低雜訊放大器232濾波後的垂直極化信號(VH及VL),並降頻已濾波的垂直極化信號(VH及VL)至頻率介於0.95~3.0 GHz的垂直極化中頻信號。帶通濾波器235連接至混波器234,用來過濾垂直極化中頻信號在0.95~3.0 GHz頻段之外的雜訊。帶通濾波器235輸出已濾波的垂直極化中頻信號至第一光發射模組25。More clearly, in the first processing path, the low noise amplifier 232 gains the vertically polarized signals (VH and VL) received by the waveguide probe 21. The bandpass filter 233 is coupled to the low noise amplifier 232 to filter the noise of the gained vertically polarized signals (VH and VL) outside the preset frequency band of the first processing path. The dielectric oscillator 231 provides a local-side oscillating signal at a frequency of 9.75 GHz. The mixer 234 is coupled to the bandpass filter 233 and the dielectric oscillator 231 for receiving the local oscillating signal and the vertically polarized signal (VH and VL) filtered by the low noise amplifier 232, and down-clocking the filtered vertical Polarized signals (VH and VL) to vertically polarized IF signals with frequencies between 0.95 and 3.0 GHz. A bandpass filter 235 is coupled to the mixer 234 for filtering noise from the vertically polarized IF signal outside the 0.95 to 3.0 GHz band. The bandpass filter 235 outputs the filtered vertically polarized intermediate frequency signal to the first light emitting module 25.

相類似地,低雜訊放大器236由所述波導探針21接收水平極化信號(HH及HL),將水平極化信號(HH及HL)經過帶通濾波器237濾波處理,以及介質振盪器(DRO)231提供本地端振盪信號至混波器238,接著將水平極化信號(HH及HL)降頻至頻率介於0.95~3.0 GHz的中頻信號,再經過帶通濾波器239濾波處理後,輸出此已濾波的水平極化中頻信號(包括水平極化信號(VH及VL))至第二光發射模組26。Similarly, the low noise amplifier 236 receives the horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) from the waveguide probe 21, the horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) through the bandpass filter 237, and the dielectric oscillator. (DRO) 231 provides a local-end oscillating signal to the mixer 238, and then down-converts the horizontally polarized signals (HH and HL) to an intermediate frequency signal having a frequency between 0.95 and 3.0 GHz, and then filters the signal through a bandpass filter 239. Thereafter, the filtered horizontally polarized intermediate frequency signal (including the horizontally polarized signals (VH and VL)) is output to the second light emitting module 26.

所述第一光發射模組25可以包括一雷射、一驅動電路和一第一光源元件,用於將電子信號調變為光信號。所述第一光源元件可以為雷射二極體或發光二極體(LED),用於發射λ1波長的雷射光或發光二極體光源。The first light emitting module 25 can include a laser, a driving circuit, and a first light source component for converting an electronic signal into an optical signal. The first light source element may be a laser diode or a light emitting diode (LED) for emitting a λ 1 wavelength laser light or a light emitting diode light source.

因此,經過所述降頻濾波電路23降頻的垂直極化中頻信號(VH及VL),會被第一光發射模組25調變為具有λ1波長的光信號,並且由第一光發射模組25之輸出端的光路18-1傳輸到其另一端的分波多工器29的一輸入端。Therefore, the vertically polarized intermediate frequency signals (VH and VL) that are down-converted by the down-converting filter circuit 23 are modulated by the first light-emitting module 25 into an optical signal having a wavelength of λ 1 and are used by the first light. The optical path 18-1 at the output of the transmitting module 25 is transmitted to an input of the split multiplexer 29 at the other end.

所述第二光發射模組26包括一雷射、一驅動電路和一第二光源元件,同樣用於將電子信號調變為光信號;所述第二光源元件可以同樣是使用雷射二極體或發光二極體(LED),但限制條件為發射不同於λ1波長的λ2波長雷射光或發光二極體光源,使得不同波長的λ1波長光源及λ2波長光源可以使用同條光纜18傳輸光信號。同理,經過所述降頻濾波電路23降頻的水平極化中頻信號(HH及HL),將通過第二光發射模組26調變為具有λ2波長的光信號,並且藉由第二光發射模組26之輸出端的光路18-2傳輸到其另一端的分波多工器29的另一輸入端。The second light emitting module 26 includes a laser, a driving circuit and a second light source element, which are also used to convert an electronic signal into an optical signal; the second light source element can also use a laser diode or a light emitting diode (the LED), but is different from the restriction to emit a wavelength λ 2 [lambda] the wavelength of laser light or light emitting diode light source, such that different wavelengths [lambda] 1 wavelength light and λ 2 wavelength light source may be used with the article Cable 18 transmits optical signals. Similarly, the horizontally polarized intermediate frequency signals (HH and HL) that are down-converted by the down-converting filter circuit 23 are modulated by the second light-emitting module 26 into an optical signal having a wavelength of λ 2 , and by the first The optical path 18-2 at the output of the second light emitting module 26 is transmitted to the other input of the split multiplexer 29 at the other end.

所述分波多工器29用於從兩個輸入端匯聚不同波長(對應至λ1波長、λ2波長)的光信號。所述分波多工器29從同一個輸出端輸出此光信號至同一條光纜18,以輸出已匯聚的多束不同波長(顏色)的雷射光或發光二極體光源。在此須說明,這種技術還能夠通過同條光纜18達到雙向通信的功效。The split multiplexer 29 is used to converge optical signals of different wavelengths (corresponding to λ 1 wavelength, λ 2 wavelength) from two inputs. The splitter multiplexer 29 outputs the optical signal from the same output terminal to the same optical cable 18 to output a plurality of bundled different wavelength (color) laser light or light emitting diode light sources. It should be noted here that this technology can also achieve the effect of two-way communication through the same cable 18.

所以,經過第一光發射模組25調變為具有λ1波長的垂直極化中頻光信號(對應至圖2的λ1),以及經過第二光發射模組26調變為具有λ2波長的水平極化中頻光信號(對應至圖2的λ2),會經過分波多工器29匯聚成具有λ1波長及λ2波長的光束(光載波),且由同一輸出端的同條光纜18輸出具有λ1波長及λ2波長的光束至光纜18的另一端。Therefore, the first light emitting module 25 is modulated into a vertically polarized intermediate frequency optical signal having a λ 1 wavelength (corresponding to λ 1 of FIG. 2), and is modulated by the second light emitting module 26 to have λ 2 . The horizontally polarized intermediate frequency optical signal of the wavelength (corresponding to λ 2 of FIG. 2) is concentrated by the splitting multiplexer 29 into a light beam (optical carrier) having a wavelength of λ 1 and a wavelength of λ 2 , and is carried by the same strip at the same output end. The optical cable 18 outputs a light beam having a wavelength of λ 1 and a wavelength of λ 2 to the other end of the optical cable 18.

The optical transmission receiver 30 includes a demultiplexing multiplexer 31, a first optical receiving module 33, a second optical receiving module 35, and a down-converting filter circuit 37. As described above, the optical signals having the λ 1 wavelength and the λ 2 wavelength which have been condensed into a light beam and transmitted from the same optical cable 18 are separated into optical signals having a λ 1 wavelength through the demultiplexing multiplexer 31 of the community or home viewing end. Optical signals having λ 2 wavelengths are output from different outputs of the demultiplexing multiplexer 31, respectively.

具有λ1波長的光信號,經過第一光接收模組33接收及轉換(解調變)為電子信號後,即還原成原來的垂直極化中頻信號(VH及VL);而具有λ2波長的光信號,經過第二光接收模組35接收及轉換(解調變)為電子信號後,亦還原成原來的水平極化中頻信號(HH及HL)。然後,所述垂直極化中頻信號(VH及VL)及所述水平極化中頻信號(HH及HL),再經過衛星信號四波段輸出降頻濾波電路37(為了解說方便以下簡稱為降頻濾波電路37)轉換成可供收視端用戶接收的信號。The optical signal having the wavelength of λ 1 is received and converted (demodulated) into an electronic signal by the first light receiving module 33, and then restored to the original vertically polarized intermediate frequency signal (VH and VL); and has λ 2 The optical signal of the wavelength is received and converted (demodulated) into an electronic signal by the second light receiving module 35, and then restored to the original horizontally polarized intermediate frequency signal (HH and HL).
