Patent ID: 10819436

Abstract:
A base station apparatus includes a ground station device and a plurality of ground antenna devices coupled to the ground station device via an optical transmission path. The ground station device performs electrical-optical conversion on an analog electrical signal to be transmitted to a mobile station and a reference clock signal to generate optical signals, performs wavelength division multiplexing on the obtained optical signals to generate a multiplexed optical signal, and outputs the multiplexed optical signal to the optical transmission path. Each of the plurality of ground antenna devices demultiplexes the multiplexed optical signal input from the optical transmission path into demultiplexed optical signals, performs optical-electrical conversion on the demultiplexed optical signals to generate electrical signals, up-converts a frequency of the analog electrical signal obtained through the optical-electrical conversion based on the reference clock signal obtained through the optical-electrical conversion to generate an up-converted signal, and transmits the up-converted signal to the mobile station.
