Provided are a frequency extracting apparatus and a signal extracting
system employing the same. The signal extracting system can reduce the
effect of an input signal pattern by extracting two frequency components
and beating them to extract a desired clock signal, and improve a
signal-to-noise ratio of an extracted clock signal. The frequency
extracting apparatus includes: a circulator for changing an output
direction of an input signal; a reflective filter for extracting a
desired frequency component among frequency components of the input
signal; a wavelength and amplitude controlling unit; and the frequency
amplitude controller.
