A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus subjects a digital signal to a digital amplitude phase shift keying and records and reproduces the modulated signal thus obtained on a magnetic recording medium. Use of the digital amplitude phase shift keying technique makes it possible to remove the direct-current component in the recording signals, and to improve the utilization efficiency of the recording frequency band, thus making high density recording possible. In addition, since a plurality of modulated signals are frequency-multiplexed and recorded, almost the entire frequency band recordable on a magnetic recording medium can be utilized, resulting in an increase in recording density. Further in addition, a pilot signal produced by frequency-converting a carrier is frequency-multiplexed with a modulated signal and recorded and reproduced and the carrier is reproduced from the reproduced pilot signal, so that a redundant part for reproducing the carrier is not necessary.

A video tape recorder capable of recording a normal definition video signal and a high definition video signal having an image quality higher than the normal one in a simulcast for broadcasting an identical program in a conventional broadcasting system and a high definition system. The common video signal is recorded in a conventional analog signal format at a tape feeding speed of the normal mode by an EP mode head defining a tracking width narrower than that of a standard mode head, while the high definition video signal is recorded in a digital form by a high definition video head additionally mounted on a rotary drum. Additionally, a common video signal recorded by a conventional video tape recorder can be reproduced.

A digital signal magnetic recording and playback apparatus which is applicable to digital video signals, utilizes quadrature amplitude modulation to produce a recording signal from a digital input signal with a carrier frequency being employed which is less than or equal to than the frequency of a recording system clock signal that is synchronized with the successive data values of the digital input signal. Carrier bursts are periodically inserted into the recording signal with a fixed period, through data inserted by a burst data insertion circuit and the carrier and clock signal are arranged to periodically coincide in phase, with the aforementioned period. The carrier frequency is made equal to the clock frequency multiplied by a factor (n/m), where n and m are integers and n

A content recording/playback apparatus includes: a first medium management section for reading the encoded content from the first medium; a decoder for decoding the encoded content having been read, and outputting a decoded content; a control section for receiving and outputting at least the decoded content having been output from the decoder; a display section for reproducing the decoded content having been output from the control section; and a second medium management section for, if the encoded content is recordable to the second medium, receiving the encoded content which has been read by the first medium management section, and recording the encoded content onto the second medium, during reproduction of the decoded content by the display section. As a result, the waiting time until finishing coping onto the other storage medium can be reduced.

A reproduced signal from a recording medium 1 is equalized at partial response (1, 0, -1) by a reproducing equalizer 3, and is converted into a reproduced and equalized signal. A clock reproducing circuit 4 issues a reproduced clock synchronized with the timing of data identification, and applies it to a phase adjusting circuit 5. A phase control signal generating circuit 6A detects a specific pattern from a reproduced digital signal issued from an A/D converter 7, and the advance or delay amount of phase of the reproduced clock is detected by the amplitude or distribution of the sampling value. This phase deviation amount is given to the phase adjusting circuit 5 as a phase control signal. The phase adjusting circuit 5 given a delayed clock to the A/D converter 7, and controls to A/D convert the reproduced signal at correct timing.

A digital modulating/demodulating apparatus includes a demodulator for demodulating a modulated signal into a demodulated positional signal in response to a receipt of the modulated signal, a decoder for decoding the demodulated positional signal into a digital signal of N bits. A previous signal point on the constellation plane is defined by a previous demodulated positional signal and a current signal point on the constellation plane is defined by a current demodulated positional signal. The decoder outputs a digital signal of N bits, based on en amplitude and a phase of the previous signal point and the amplitude and the phase of the current signal point.
摘要:
An apparatus for demodulating and decoding a multi-level amplitude modulation signal used to convey digital data, such as a QAM signal, having amplitude modulated carrier components differing in phase. The apparatus derives demodulated data values from that signal, and derives from average values of sets of these data values a set of compensated reference point data respectively corresponding to signal reference points of the multi-level modulation signal which are expressible as a symbol constellation in the I-Q plane. The compensated reference point data are used to obtain correct digital code values from the demodulated data, even if there is considerable distortion of the multi-level amplitude modulated signal, as is the case for such a signal when recorded and reproduced from a magnetic recording medium.
