Digital coherent receiver and phase control method

摘要

A digital coherent receiver includes a sampling phase detector to detect a phase of a sampled digital signal, and a phase adjustor to adjust the sampling phase of the digital signal based upon the detected phase. The phase detector includes filters to equalize the digital signal with different equalization characteristics; sensitivity monitoring phase detectors, each connected to one of the filters and outputting a phase detection signal representing the phase of the output signal from the associated filter together with a sensitivity monitoring signal representing the sensitivity of the phase detection; sensitivity correction coefficient generators, each generating a sensitivity correction coefficient for correcting the associated phase detection signal using a square sum of the sensitivity monitoring signals; and an adder to add the phase detection signals that have been corrected by the sensitivity correction coefficients, and output a phase signal.
