Abstract
A frequency discriminator for an optical coherent transmission system, wherein FSK signals having the frequencies F(1) and F(2) are processed. The discriminator comprises a first series arrangement of a differential stage, a filter and a full-wave rectifier for processing the signal having the frequency F(1) and a second series arrangement of a differential stage, a filter and a full-wave rectifier for processing the signal having the frequency F(2). The discriminator is extremely fit for use at frequencies >1 GHz and it is easy to integrate.
