  • Publication number: 20260058723
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing a loopback test in a pre-provisioned multi-channel optical network. A controller determines actual spectral availability within an optical spectrum, irrespective of reserved or pre-planned channel allocations, and overrides spectrum reservation limits to define an effective loopback-test bandwidth. The controller configures a selected network-management channel (NMC) and associated modem for the loopback test based on the determined availability, enabling loopback operation even within an occupied or partially utilized spectrum. The system dynamically adjusts modem transmission parameters and establishes spectral guard bands or deadbands as needed to preserve integrity of in-service traffic and mitigate filter roll-off effects. The approach allows flexible, non-disruptive photonic loopback testing in deployed Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) or other multi-channel optical environments without re-provisioning the existing channel plan.

  • Publication number: 20250347770
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present application are a signal processing method and link, and a target detection method and an electronic device. For an FMCW radar having at least two receiving channels and unequal-length lines, the unequal-length receiving of a digital baseband signal is compensated for in a digital domain according to a length difference between the receiving channels, such that the problem of the generation of a relative time delay between different receiving channels which is inevitably caused by a line length difference, is eliminated, thereby improving the signal receiving quality, and further improving the receiving performance.
