Abstract
The invention concerns a transmitter circuit comprising a light source (20) and arranged to operate said light source (20) to transmit optical communication signals in response to balanced electric input signals from a first (11) and a second (12) circuit point. The transmitter circuit comprises a first (21) and a second (22) circuit branch which extend from said first (11) and second (12) points, respectively. The light source (20) is connected between the circuit branches (21, 22). The components which are positioned on the circuit branches (21, 22) are selected such that the transmitter circuit is formed with a symmetry which is such that, under normal operation conditions, a balanced drive voltage is the case between the connection points (13, 15) of the light source (20) on the circuit branches (21, 22) and such that the modulation current which drives the light source (20) essentially only depends on the voltage difference between said connection points (13, 15). The invention also concerns a communication system which comprises such a transmitter circuit.
