Patent ID: 7430165

Claim:
A wireless communication apparatus in a multiplex section protection (MSP) system having a redundant configuration and receiving same signals through a current cable circuit and a standby cable circuit, comprising: current communication means comprising a current cable circuit configured by a current STM-N input interface circuit for receiving a signal from a MUX device connected to a node, a current STM-N output interface circuit for outputting a signal to the MUX device, a current transmitter/receiver connected to the current STM-N input interface circuit, a current circulator connected to the current transmitter/receiver, and a current radio circuit, configured by an antenna connected to the current circulator, for transmitting/receiving a signal to and from another radio device; and standby communication means comprising a standby cable circuit configured by a standby STM-N input interface circuit for receiving a signal from the MUX device, a standby STM-N output interface circuit for outputting a signal to the MUX device, a standby transmitter/receiver connected to the standby STM-N input interface circuit and the standby STM-N output interface circuit, a standby circulator connected to the standby transmitter/receiver, and a standby radio circuit, configured by an antenna connected to the standby circulator, for transmitting/receiving a signal to and from the other radio device, uses a co-channel radio frequency distribution, and completely duplexes input through output of an STM-N signal in the apparatus, wherein the radio signals transmitted from the current communication means and the standby communication means are polarization signals having the same frequencies and different polarization directions, and wherein the polarization signals having the same frequencies and different polarization directions are combined by the antenna and output having the co-channel radio frequency distribution.
