[通信装置の構成例]
図1は、第1の実施の形態における通信装置100の一構成例を示すブロック図である。この通信装置100は、光電変換部110、電流電圧変換回路120、信号検出器200、信号処理部130および基準信号生成部140を備える。光電変換部110は、フォトダイオード111を備える。
図2は、第1の実施の形態における信号検出器200の一構成例を示すブロック図である。この信号検出器200は、リミッティングアンプ210、アンプ側振幅検出回路220、コンパレータ240、レプリカ側振幅検出回路250およびレプリカ回路260を備える。
図3は、第1の実施の形態におけるリミッティングアンプ210およびレプリカ回路260の一構成例を示す回路図である。同図におけるaは、リミッティングアンプ210の一構成例を示す回路図であり、同図におけるbは、レプリカ回路260の一構成例を示す回路図である。
図4は、第1の実施の形態におけるアンプ側振幅検出回路220の一構成例を示す回路図である。このアンプ側振幅検出回路220は、全波整流回路221を備える。全波整流回路221は、差動トランジスタ222および223と、定電流源225と、コンデンサ224とを備える。差動トランジスタ222および223として、例えば、n型のMOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)トランジスタが用いられる。
図7は、第1の実施の形態における通信装置100の動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。この動作は、例えば、通信装置100に電源が投入されたときに開始する。通信装置100におけるリミッティングアンプ210およびレプリカ回路260は、入力信号および基準信号を増幅する(ステップS901)。
上述の第1の実施の形態の信号検出器200では、全波整流回路221により振幅を検出していたが、全波整流回路221以外の回路により振幅を検出することもできる。例えば、信号検出器200は、信号のピーク値を保持するピークホールド回路により振幅を検出してもよい。この第2の実施の形態の信号検出器200は、ピークホールド回路により振幅を検出する点において第1の実施の形態と異なる。
上述の第1の実施の形態の信号検出器200では、リミッティングアンプ210およびレプリカ回路260のオフセット電圧を補償していなかった。しかし、このオフセット電圧が大きいと、出力信号のデューティ比が変動して、信号処理部130においてデューティエラーが生じるおそれがある。このため、オフセット電圧を補償するオフセット補償回路を設けることが望ましい。この第3の実施の形態の信号検出器200は、オフセット補償回路を設けた点において第1の実施の形態と異なる。
