摘要:
A complex multiplier complex-multiplies a carrier modulation signal group for decoding the phases and amplitudes of a plurality of carriers which are orthogonal to each other on the frequency axis by a complex signal group having a predetermined specific pattern which varies in phase at random. An inverse Fourier transformer performs inverse Fourier transformation on an output of the complex multiplier, for transforming a digital signal which is multiplexed on the frequency axis to an OFDM signal on the time axis. A guard interval insertion part adds front and rear guard intervals to front and rear parts of each symbol of the OFDM signal respectively. The front and rear guard intervals include data which are identical to those of rear and front end parts of the corresponding symbol respectively. Arithmetic processing which is reverse to that on a transmission side is performed on a receiving side, whereby distortion of received data is removed. Thus, the OFDM signal can be transmitted with no waveform distortion on a data component of each symbol on the frequency axis after Fourier transformation even if a reflected wave is superposed on a direct wave due to a multipath.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal transmitted from the transmitting end to the receiving end intermittently includes a particular symbol S0 having a predetermined particular pattern in addition to a symbol Sm including data to be transmitted. At the receiving end, the variation in the receiving level and/or the variation in the frequency band of a received signal are detected and corrected on the basis of the received particular symbol S0. Since the particular symbol S0 has a particular pattern, the variation in the level and/or the variation in the frequency are strongly correlated with the variation in the receiving level and/or the variation in the frequency band of the received signal. Consequently, the variation in the receiving level and/or the variation in the frequency band of the received signal can be accurately detected from the particular symbol S0 and consequently high-precision correction can be made.

A Fourier transform circuit in a receiver performs a Fourier transform on a orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal received through a transmission channel for each symbol to sequentially reproduce a received reference vector sequence and a received vector sequence. An interleave circuit interleaves elements of the received reference vector sequence and the received vector sequence. A memory stores the received reference vector sequence. A vector modulation circuit modulates the received reference vector sequence by respective signal point vectors representing each signal point to generate a modulation vector sequence for each symbol. A metric generation circuit then obtains a difference between the received vector sequence and the modulation vector sequence to generate the difference as a branch metric sequence. A trellis decode circuit reproduces a data sequence on the basis of the branch metric sequence.

A pilot signal (a signal having known phase information and a prescribed length) is inserted at a prescribed time interval in a signal transmitted from a transmitting end to a receiving end. An arc tangent operation circuit (22) performs an operation for arc tangent of the pilot signal in a received signal to obtain a phase of the pilot signal. A phase error operation circuit (24) determines for a phase error between the known phase information previously held in a memory (23) and an output from the arc tangent operation circuit (22). A linear approximation circuit (25) takes an output from the phase difference operation circuit (24) as a linear function of time, and linear-approximates the output. A frequency error operation circuit (26) obtains for a frequency error from a slope of an output from the linear approximation circuit (25). In response to the obtained frequency error, control of an oscillation frequency of a variable frequency oscillation circuit allows rapid automatic frequency control with high accuracy.

In a transfer apparatus to which MIMO-OFDM is applied, a data transmission method and a data reception method are provided in which, even when there are frequency errors varying among transfer paths, the precision of estimation of an inverse propagation coefficient function can be improved, thereby making it possible to suppress a degradation in characteristics. Among symbols composed of a plurality of subcarriers orthognal to each other, the transfer apparatus uses, as a synchronization symbol, a symbol in which predetermined amplitudes and phases are assigned to a plurality of subcarriers spaced at predetermined frequency intervals. The synchronization symbol is divided into transmission antennas to generate a plurality of synchronization subsymbols, which are in turn simultaneously transmitted from a plurality of transmission antennas. A reception apparatus estimates a frequency error for each transfer path based on synchronization subsymbols included in signals received by a plurality of reception antennas, and based on the estimated frequency errors, corrects the received signals.

During all or part of a time period during which pattern signals are received, a diversity receiving apparatus allows a gain control section to fix the gain of a gain amplifier section, allows an antenna switching section to sequentially switch the selection of antennas during antenna switching periods which are synchronized with averaging periods, and determines an antenna to receive data contained in a packet, based on the levels of average powers measured by an averaging section on an averaging period-by-averaging period basis.

In an OFDM transmission scheme, in order to compensate any frequency response variation in time wise resulted from any distortion in a transmission path, out-of-synchronization with passage of time, frequency drift, and phase shift, and to improve a demodulation characteristic, a PS detector 261 in a receiver receiving an OFDM signal detects a pilot symbol. A PS1 TPFR calculator 62 calculates a frequency response of the transmission path for a first pilot symbol, while a PS2 TPFR calculator 63 calculates that for a second pilot symbol. Thereafter, a compensation vector calculator 64 calculates compensation vectors from the frequency responses of the transmission path for both of the first and second pilot symbols by linear approximation. A frequency response compensator 65 compensates the frequency response variation of subcarriers in a data symbol based on the calculated compensation vectors.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for OFDM demodulation establish symbol synchronization to minimize between-symbol interference even under an environment where multipath occurs.An incoming signal is an OFDM signal including a transmission symbol structured by a valid symbol period and a guard interval, and a predetermined synchronization symbol is included in the OFDM signal for every transmission frame. A correlator calculates how a signal generated by a synchronization symbol generator and the OFDM signal are correlated. A correlation calculator then calculates a correlation therefrom. An integrator integrates the calculated correlation by the guard interval. A timing determination device determines symbol timing from the integrated correlation. An FFT window generator outputs operation timing for Fourier transform from the determined symbol timing. Based on the signal outputted from the FFT window generator, the apparatus for OFDM demodulation extracts a signal in the valid symbol period from the transmission symbol for demodulation.

A frequency response compensatory compensates the frequency response variation of subcarriers in a data symbol based on the calculated compensation vectors.
