COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, EXTENSION STATION, COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM MAKING METHOD
A communication system includes an aggregate station configured to transmit and receive a signal and N extension stations (N is an integer of 2 or more). The N extension stations include a first extension station configured to receive a signal from the aggregate station and transmit a signal to a second extension station, an i th extension station (i is an integer satisfying 2≤i≤N−1) configured to receive a signal from an (i−1) th extension station and transmit a signal to an (i+1) th extension station, and an N th extension station configured to receive a signal from an (N−1) th extension station. A ratio between a magnitude of a signal to be received by an i th extension station (1≤i≤N−1) and a magnitude of a signal to be transmitted thereby is (N−i+1):(N−i).

7 . A communication system making method of setting a ratio between a magnitude of a signal to be transmitted to an extension station and a magnitude of a signal to be processed locally, the communication system making method comprising steps of:
installing an aggregate station;
connecting N extension stations (N is an integer of 2 or more) in series with the aggregate station, wherein the extension station includes a splitter configured to branch a received signal into a signal to be processed locally and a signal to be transmitted to another extension station; and
setting a branching ratio of the splitter of each of the N extension stations,
wherein the step of setting the branching ratio includes setting the branching ratio of an i th extension station (1≤i≤N−1) so that a ratio between the magnitude of the signal to be transmitted and the magnitude of the signal to be processed locally becomes j:1 when the total number of other extension stations connected to a downstream side of the i th extension station is denoted by j.
