Patent ID: 11108468

Abstract:
An optical transmitter includes a first narrowband signal processing unit, a wideband signal generation unit, and an optical modulator. The first narrowband signal generation unit is configured to input a first signal and a second signal and output first, second, third and fourth narrowband signals. The wideband signal generation unit is configured to multiply the first and second narrowband signals by sinusoidal signals having a phase difference of (π/2), respectively, to shift bands of the first and second narrowband signals, and combine the shifted first and second narrowband signal to generate a first wideband signal. The wideband signal generation unit is configured to multiply the third and fourth narrowband signal by sinusoidal signals having a phase difference of (π/2), respectively, to shift bands of the third and fourth narrowband signals, and combine the shifted third and fourth narrowband signals to generate a second wideband signal.
