METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING NETWORK DATA SIGNALS IN A WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXED OPTICAL NETWORK

摘要

A method (600) and apparatus (100) for testing network data signals (202) in an optical wavelength division multiplexing network (200) employ an optical wavelength division multiplexing function (102) and a network analysis function (104) to analyze the optical spectrum and extract from and insert data signals (202) into a wavelength division multiplexing network (200) for data signal analysis by the network analysis function (104).
