Abstract:
In a first configuration, circuitry of a fiber node may be configured to modulate an optical carrier by an analog upstream electrical signal received via the electrical network. In a second configuration, the circuitry may be configured to digitize the analog upstream electrical signal to generate a digitized upstream signal, and modulate the optical carrier with the digitized upstream signal. An optical receiver of the fiber node may be configured to convert a downstream optical signal to a downstream electrical signal. In the first configuration, the downstream electrical signal may be a first analog signal and the circuitry may be configured to output the first analog signal into the electrical network. In a third configuration, the downstream electrical signal is a digitized waveform and the circuitry is configured to convert the digitized waveform to a second analog signal and output the second analog signal into the electrical network.
