Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of cables and to monitor surely troubles of transmission lines, by transmitting a main signal and a monitoring pilot signal through the same optical fiber in the optical wavelength-division multiplex system. CONSTITUTION:A terminal station 19 transmits a main signal lambda1 and a pilot signal lambda2 to a repeater 29 through an optical fiber 119 in the optical wavelength- division multiplex system and receives an optical signal, where a main signal lambda3 and a pilot signal lambda4 are multiplexed, from the repeater 29. Similarly, a terminal station 21 receives the main signal lambda1 and the pilot signal lambda2 from a repeater 30 and transmits the main signal lambda3 and the pilot signal lambda4. Since main signals and pilot signals are carried through one optical fiber 120 between repeaters 29 and 30, the number of cables is reduced considerably. If a trouble occurs on the optical transmission line for a main signal system, information indicating the break of pilot signals is always carried; and thus, troubles are monitored more surely than troubles in conventional systems.

In other words, by synchronizing the signal propagation delay time for reciprocating the pipe between both ends,
The pilot signal is 0FFKed for a short period of time, and the intermittent signal is played like a game of catch between both terminal stations.If a repeater failure occurs, the cable is cut, or a failure occurs in the transmission line, the failure occurs. Information on the signal interruption caused by this is propagated to both end stations. This signal disconnection information arrives at each terminal station at different times depending on the location of the fault on the transmission path, and the difference in arrival times t between these signals is calculated from the intermittent arrival time of the Souppait signal to determine the location of the fault. .
