ABSTRACT:
A method for pre-emphasising transmitted signals in channels for multiplex signals along a transmission path comprising supply and/or branch points is provided. According to the method, relative degradations of the signal-to-noise intervals between transmitted signals via any category or group of channels—i.e. express and add or drop channels or add-drop channels are taken into account. A point-to-point link and for transparent optical networks may be used. To this end, the average signal powers of different channel groups are set relative to one another in order to obtain predetermined signal-to-noise intervals for each group. In addition, the signal-to-noise intervals within a channel group are equalized at their termination points. Regulation protocols for controlling the pre-emphasising steps are provided.
