SDH add-drop multiplexer that can realize both optical and radio networks by the same device

摘要

In an ADM device, first and second modulators and first and second demodulators are provided as a mod/demod device for radio communication, first to fourth SDH interface circuits and first and second SDH mapping/demapping circuits are provided for processing SDH signals, and path switching is performed by means of first and second signal branch circuits and first and second signal switches to enable simultaneous processing of both modulated signals and SDH signals. This configuration eliminates the need for outside mod/demod devices for radio communication when forming a radio network and therefore reduces the cost of constructing a system. In addition, the ability to simultaneously process modulated signals and SDH signals enables the simultaneous construction of an optical and radio network.
