Abstract

A service integrated transmission system for transmitting, over a light transmission path, digital signals having a transmission band whose upper limit frequency corresponds to the maximum bit rate of the signals to be transmitted, the transmission being effected by simultaneously transmitting, over the transmission path, digital signals having a high bit rate only in an upper part of the transmission band and digital signals having a low bit rate only in a lower part of the transmission band. The system includes a transmitter at one end of the path which separately multiplexes low bit rate signals into a narrowband signal and high bit rate signals into a broadband signal, combines those multiplexed signals, and modulates a light source with the combined signal. A receiver at the other end of the path converts the modulated light signal into a demodulated electrical signal, separates the two multiplexed signals, and then demultiplexes each of the latter signals.
