There is provided an optical line terminal that dynamically allocates communication bandwidth to a plurality of optical network units in an optical communication network, the optical line terminal including a minimum bandwidth allocation unit calculating allocation bandwidth of the plurality of optical network units based on bandwidth request information notified by the plurality of optical network units, a comparison unit comparing an allocation cycle given as the sum total of allocation bandwidth allocated to the plurality of optical network units respectively with a predetermined threshold value, a best-effort bandwidth allocation unit calculating remaining bandwidth as best-effort bandwidth of the plurality of optical network units when the allocation cycle is less than the threshold value, and a bandwidth allocation unit allocating communication bandwidth of the plurality of optical network units based on the allocation bandwidth and the best-effort bandwidth.

Optical line terminal, dynamic bandwidth allocation method, and optical communication network

A half-matching type transceiver circuit which only requires a reduced area for mounting. A coupling transformer has a primary winding with one end and the other end connected to balanced transmission lines, and a secondary winding with one end and the other end connected to output terminals of first and second tristate buffers, respectively. These tristate buffers are supplied at their respective input terminals with a high potential driving pulse signal corresponding to information data at shifted timings to generate a ternary transmission pulse signal on the balanced transmission lines.
