摘要:
At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.

A vestigial sideband/quadrature amplitude modulation (VSB/QAM) receiver, which receives both VSB and QAM signals and restores a carrier wave with a restored symbol clock after restoring a symbol timing in a front portion of a carrier wave restoration unit. The receiver has an analog-digital converter for A/D converting in accordance with a frequency higher than a symbol frequency of a received signal; an interpolator for calculating a signal value on the original symbol location after a signal from the A/D converter is applied; the carrier wave restoration unit for restoring a carrier wave by selectively using an automatic frequency control (AFC) and a digital frequency phase locked loop (DFPLL) in accordance with a VSB/QAM mode after a signal from the interpolator is applied; a timing processor for receiving a signal from the carrier wave restoration unit, detecting a timing error after changing a symbol input time in accordance with a VSB/QAM mode, controlling the interpolator based on the detected timing error, and generating a restored clock; and a VSB sorter for extracting a VSB receiving symbol.

It is an object of the invention to provide a demodulator, which improves a BER characteristic in a ordinary state, reduce a time constant of a AGC amplifier, and quickly follows the fluctuation of an input signal level. A demodulator for 2.sup.q -QAM system is composed of an AGC amplifier, which keeps an average power of its output signal constant, A/D convectors for A/D converting the output signal of the AGC amplifier, an equalizer for removing interference components between codes contained in output signals of the A/D convectors, AGC circuits, which operate so that convergent points of output signals of the equalizer have amplitudes expressed by binary numbers composed of q/2 bits, and a control circuit, which is supplied with output signals of the AGC circuits and generates control signals for the AGC circuits.

A digital communication system including a transmitter and a receiver and wherein transmitted digital signal samples are modulated in accordance with a first constellation of modulated signal values. The receiver includes a phase locked loop for synchronizing digital sampling at the receiver with the received signal samples. The synchronism adjustment error is formed from a pseudo-error function which is a weighted combination of first and second errors, the first error being a function of the distance between received samples and the decisions made with respect thereto in the first constellation, the second error being a function of the distance between received samples and the decisions made with respect thereto in a second simplified constellation derived from the first constellation. A weighting is assigned to the second error which may, in one embodiment, be proportional to the first error.

Methods and apparatus for detecting the presence of impulse noise in a signal representing digital data and for performing a limiting or blanking operation in a receiver in response thereto are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, to detect the presence of impulse noise, in one embodiment, the instantaneous sliced error energy for each received symbol is estimated and compared to either a predetermined threshold level indicative of impulse noise or to an adaptive impulse noise threshold level. In an adaptive impulse noise threshold embodiment, an adaptive impulse noise threshold value is generated by averaging the instantaneous sliced error energy values over a period of many symbols and by then applying a preselected gain to the averaged sliced error energy value to obtain an impulse noise threshold value. When impulse noise is detected a signal is asserted to indicate the detection and presence of the impulse noise and carrier recovery phase error correction operations and other decision dependent operations blanked or left unchanged until the impulse noise is no longer detected or for a preselected period of time after impulse noise has been detected.

A method for correcting an amplitude error between an I signal and a Q signal which are outputted from a quadrature detector including a first multiplier for multiplying a reference signal and a measured signal, a first integrator for smoothing the output of the first multiplier to generate the I signal, a 90-degree phase shifter for generating an auxiliary reference signal from the reference signal, a second multiplier for multiplying the auxiliary reference signal and the measured signal, and a second integrator for smoothing the output of the second multiplier to generate the Q signal. The method includes the step of inputting the auxiliary reference signal, instead of the reference signal, to the first multiplier to obtain a first output signal and inputting the reference signal, instead of the auxiliary reference signal, to the second integrator to obtain a second output signal. Then a correction coefficient for amplitude error correction is calculated from at least one of a ratio between the Q signal and the first output signal and a ratio between the I signal and the second output signal.

A system transmits computer data by converting and modulating the data into a sound file, allowing the sound file to be stored for later retrieval and transmission. The system includes a sound file creator for modulating input computer data and storing the data. In one embodiment the invention is used with a voice processing system, and can create data prompts, that are either stored or immediately transmitted to a screen telephone. The data prompts can include text and graphics for display on a remote screen telephone the connects to the voice processing system. The sound file creator uses a three layer communications protocol to translate the data into a data format, then modulates and equalizes the data for transmission over a telecommunications line. The data prompts are transmitted in response to a caller's inputs into the voice processing system. The transmitted data is received by a sound file receiver in a screen telephone, or like device, that demodulates the data and outputs to an appropriate display, printer or memory unit. Alternative embodiments of the invention include a facsimile like device for scanning, digitizing and transmitting input documents, and a system for outputting stored data from a memory unit such as a compact disc.
