Abstract

A transfer function calculation unit ( 522 ) calculates a diagonal matrix G(f) on the basis of a band limit condition g(t) used in a transmission device ( 20 ). A transfer function calculation unit ( 524 ) calculates a diagonal matrix C(f) on the basis of a wavelength dispersion amount c(t) incurred in an optical transmission path. A transfer function combination unit ( 526 ) combines the diagonal matrix G(f) with the diagonal matrix C(f) so as to calculate a diagonal matrix H(f)=G(f)×C(f). An equalization coefficient calculation unit ( 528 ) calculates an equalization coefficient matrix W(f)=H(f) H (H(f) H H(f)+( 1 /E s )×Φ η ) −1 used in a multiplication unit ( 506 ) by using the diagonal matrix H(f). Here, H(f) H is a Hermitian transposed matrix of a matrix H(f), E s is power of an optical signal, and Φ η is a diagonal matrix with N rows and N columns.
