FM signal converter, FM signal optical transmitter and FM signal optical receiver

Abstract

An FM signal converter comprising: an amplitude detecting unit for detecting amplitude variation of a plurality of signals that are multiplexed with subcarriers, as an amplitude variation signal; a peak detection unit for determining from said amplitude variation signal whether a peak of the amplitude of said plurality of signals exceeds a threshold and for generating peak detection information that includes information about said peak of the amplitude; a frequency signal source for providing signal with a predetermined frequency that differs from any of the frequencies of said subcarriers; an amplitude phase control unit for adjusting amplitude and phase of the signal from the frequency signal source according to said peak detecting information and outputting the adjusted signal as a corrected signal; signal combining means for combining said corrected signal and said plurality of signals multiplexed with subcarriers, with considering a time for generating the corrected signal; and an FM modulator for modulating said signal from the signal combining means into an FM signal.
