- Abstract
- Provided are a fault localization apparatus based on an optical communication network and a method thereof. In the fault localization apparatus according to the present invention, a downstream light source is used as a monitoring optical signal instead of using an additional monitoring light source and a subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) monitoring pulse signal of a certain frequency band having no interference with a frequency band of a downstream data signal is used and thus a fault position may be detected at low cost.
