Example access network devices are described. One example access network device includes a signal processing apparatus. The signal processing apparatus includes a first power amplifier, a second power amplifier, a first filter, a second filter, and a combiner. The first filter filters a second signal obtained by the first power amplifier, to obtain a first sub-signal belonging to a first frequency band and a second sub-signal belonging to a second frequency band. The second filter filters a fourth signal obtained by the second power amplifier, to obtain n sub-signals including at least a third sub-signal belonging to a third frequency band. The combiner combines the first sub-signal and i sub-signals in the n sub-signals based on a preset condition, to obtain a first combined signal. The communication module sends the first combined signal by using a first port, and sends the second sub-signal by using a second port.
