Hitless switching system and transmission apparatus

摘要

A hitless switching system includes a sending apparatus and a receiving apparatus. The sending apparatus includes: a distributing part for dividing an original signal into a plurality of signals; and a transmitting part for transmitting the divided signals over one or a plurality of transmission lines with redundancy. The receiving apparatus includes: a phase difference detection part for detecting phase differences between signals sent from the sending apparatus; a phase difference absorbing part for absorbing phase differences detected by the phase difference detection part; selectors each of which selects one signal from a plurality of signals; and a restoring part for restoring the original signal from the signals output from the selectors. <IMAGE>
