Receiver and reception method |
摘要 |
A photodiode (11) of a receiver (10) outputs a current signal having a value that corresponds to the optical power of a received optical signal. A transimpedance amplifier (12) amplifies the current signal output from the photodiode (11), converts the current signal to a voltage signal, and further outputs the voltage signal that is converted from the current signal. A current detection circuit (17) generates a current having a value larger than that of the current signal output from the photodiode (11). A feedback resistor (16) changes a gain of the transimpedance amplifier (12) based on magnitude of the current generated by the current detection circuit (17). |

1. A receiver comprising:
an optical receiver that outputs a current signal including a value that corresponds to strength of an optical signal received; an amplifier-converter that amplifies the current signal output from the optical receiver, converts the amplified current signal to a voltage signal, and outputs the voltage signal that is converted from the amplified current signal; a current generator that generates a current in response to the current signal output from the optical receiver that has a value larger than that of the current signal and a changer having a variable resistance that changes a gain of the amplifier-converter based on magnitude of a current generated by the current generator. |
