FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION TERMINAL INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

A fiber-optic communication apparatus includes a modulator, a combiner and an electro-optic converter. The modulator modulates a number (N) of radio frequency (RF) signals with the same frequency respectively into a number (N) of modulated signals with mutually different frequencies, where N≧2. The combiner is coupled to the modulator for combining the modulated signals therefrom into a combined signal that has a number (N) of components with mutually different frequencies. The electro-optic converter is coupled to the combiner for converting the combined signal therefrom into an optical signal that has a number (N) of components with mutually different frequencies.

1. A fiber-optic communication apparatus comprising:
a modulator adapted for modulating a number (N) of radio frequency (RF) signals with the same frequency respectively into a number (N) of modulated signals with mutually different frequencies, where N≧2; a combiner coupled to said modulator for combining the modulated signals therefrom into a combined signal that has a number (N) of components with mutually different frequencies; and an electro-optic converter coupled to said combiner for converting the combined signal therefrom into a first optical signal that has a number (N) of components with mutually different frequencies.
