Patent attributes
An optical access network system capable of transmitting and receiving high-speed signals and which allows the number of subscribers to be increased without increasing the number of wavelengths used is provided. An optical line terminal and an optical network unit are joined via an optical fiber transmitting line, a star coupler, and a plurality of branching optical fiber transmitting lines. The optical line terminal and optical network unit are constituted comprising an optical processing section and an electrical processing section. The optical processing section comprises a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. The electrical processing section comprises a transmitting signal processing section that generates an encoded transmitting signal in the form of an electrical signal by encoding a transmitting signal and a receiving signal processing section that obtains a receiving signal by decoding a code-division-multiplexed signal that has been converted from optical-signal form to electrical-signal form by the light-receiving element. The optical access network system is characterized in that the decoding processing circuit that the receiving signal processing section comprises is constituted comprising an analog matched filter and a decision circuit.
