1.4.1 FlexLayer Modules
Figure 1-6 shows the module functional block diagram. In Figure 1-6, the signal flows from left to right
when the card is used as a drop component and from right to left when the module is used as an add
component.
Figure 1-6 Two-Channel Add/Drop FlexLayer Module Block Diagram
When the module is used as a drop component, the wave-division multiplexing (WDM) composite signal
coming from the DROP-COM-RX port is filtered sequentially by two filters and the filtered channels are
dropped at the two DROP-CH-TX ports. The rest of the WDM composite signal is sent to the
DROP-COM-TX port. A two-percent tap coupler, DROP-MON, is used to monitor the input WDM
composite signal.
When the module is used as an add component, the added channels coming from the two ADD-CH-RX
ports are combined with the WDM composite signal coming from the ADD-COM-RX port. The
multiplexed WDM composite signal is sent to the ADD-COM-TX port. A two-percent tap coupler,
ADD-MON, is used to monitor the multiplexed WDM composite signal.
