Abstract
Description
図1は、この発明の実施の形態1に係る受信装置を備えた無線通信システムの構成を示す構成図である。図1においては、受信装置として、無線受信装置を例に挙げて示している。図1に示すように、無線通信システムは、無線送信信号の送信を行う無線送信装置1と、無線送信信号を受信する無線受信装置2とを備えている。無線送信装置1は、クライアント送信信号から無線送信信号を生成する無線送信部10と、無線送信信号を送信する送信アンテナ11とを有している。無線受信装置2は、無線送信信号を受信する受信アンテナ21と、受信アンテナが受信した無線受信信号からクライアント受信信号を生成する無線受信部20とを有している。
図6は、この発明の実施の形態2に係る受信装置を備えたディジタル光通信システムを示す構成図である。以下では、ディジタル光通信システムを、単に、光通信システムと呼ぶこことする。図6においては、受信装置として、光伝送装置を例に挙げて示している。光伝送装置は、受信装置として機能する受信部と、送信装置として機能する送信部とを有している。図6に示すように、ディジタル光通信システムは、光信号の送受信を行う光伝送装置30,31と、光伝送装置30と光伝送装置31とを接続する通信路32とを備えている。通信路32は、光ファイバから構成されている。光伝送装置30,31の送信部は、クライアント送信信号から光送信信号を生成して通信路32を介して他の光伝送装置に向かって送信する。また、光伝送装置30,31の受信部は、他の光伝送装置から通信路32を介して光受信信号を受信してクライアント受信信号に変換する。
