摘要:
The present invention includes a telecommunications system including a plurality of transmitters (20), each transmitter (20) transmitting a modulated signal on one carrier of a set of equally spaced carriers at any one time, said transmitters (20) being co-ordinated by frequency division multiplexing and synchronised to produce an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signal at a receiver (10). The present invention also includes a method of operating a telecommunication system, comprising the steps of:
transmitting from each transmitter of a plurality of transmitters a modulated data stream on one carrier of a set of equally spaced carriers at any one time, co-ordinating and synchronising the transmissions of the plurality of transmitters so as to produce an orthogonal frequency multiplexed (OFDM) signal at a receiver.
A transmitter (20) is also described for transmitting a modulated data stream on one carrier of a set of equally spaced carriers at any one time, the spacing of said carriers being at the baud rate or a multiple thereof comprising:
a modulator (31) for modulation of a data stream, a means (31) for sequentially hopping between at least two of said carriers.
The present invention also includes satellite receiver for receiving an orthogonal frequency multiplexed (OFDM) signal including a set of equally spaced carriers, each carrying a modulated data stream, the satellite receiver including a demodulator for demodulating the OFDM signal. The modulation of the data stream in accordance with the present invention is preferably substantially constant envelope.

A wireless multiple access communication system (5) comprises a forward link (31) to a terminal (40) and a return link (32) from a terminal (40). The return link (32) uses a medium which is shared between terminals (40) on the basis of time and frequency. A terminal (40) transmits a return link signal (32) from the terminal comprising a sequence of transmission slots (51, 52, 53), each transmission slot being defined as a time slot and, carrier frequency, wherein carrier frequency and symbol rate can change between transmission slots. The return link signal (32) is transmitted continuously across the sequence of transmission slots (51, 52, 53). The terminal can transmit a return link signal (32) which is phase continuous across the transmission slots.
