In the transmitter which carries out burst transmission using information data as a packet, if the status is divided into four modes, namely, burst stop mode, burst rising mode, burst continuous mode, and burst falling mode, a waveform shaping equipment designed to read out shaped waveform data for each mode from outputs of either of the two memory tables, the first memory table which holds waveform data for specific data patterns used in common in burst rising mode and burst falling mode and the second memory table which holds waveform data for all data patterns used in the burst continuous mode, or a waveform shaping equipment comprising the third memory table which holds waveform data corresponding to all the data patterns used in the burst rising mode and the fourth memory table which holds waveform data corresponding to all data patterns used in the burst falling mode and generating shaped waveform data by synthesizing the two outputs of the third and the fourth memory tables at the time of burst continuous mode.
