In a demodulating method of demodulating amplitude-demodulated signals in an amplitude phase shift keying system for conducting an amplitude modulation by setting signal points as information codes on a complex plane representing a signal space of transmission signals onto circumferences of two concentric circles including a first circle having a first diameter and a second circle having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter on the complex plane, there are obtained, in accordance with an amplitude value of an amplitude component of each symbol of a received amplitude-modulated signal, a first threshold value and a second threshold value having a predetermined relationship with the amplitude value. Next, the amplitude value the an amplitude component of each symbol of the successively received amplitude-modulated signal is compared with the first and second first threshold values to determine an amplitude variation in the amplitude component of each symbol in accordance with a result from the comparison so as to output therefrom a signal representing the determination result as a code obtained by demodulating the amplitude component.

摘要:
A data transmission apparatus of an orthogonal frequency multiplex modulation system wherein data is transmitted using a plurality of carriers which are in a mutually orthogonal relationship with one another. The apparatus includes a transmitter which previously inserts a group of predetermined synchronization symbols into an OFDM modulated transmission signal every fixed period and a receiver which demodulates a received OFDM modulated transmission signal to a baseband OFDM signal. In the receiver, an absolute value of an A/D converted digital signal is taken and the signal is bandwidth-limited to a predetermined band width. Then, it is decided whether an amplitude of the signal is larger than or smaller than a predetermined value and a decision result thereof is produced. A null section in the synchronization symbol group is detected on the basis of the decision result and a start point of another synchronization symbol subsequent to the null section is further detected. The time when both of the presence of the null section and the start point of another synchronization symbol are detected is regarded as a synchronization timing and the operation timing of a demodulator for the receiver is set to the synchronization timing.

A data transmission apparatus using a digital modulation system wherein a transmitting side inserts a group of predetermined synchronization symbols into a transmission signal at predetermined intervals to be transmitted. A receiving side calculates an electric power value of a received transmission signal. When a no-signal period (null section) in the synchronization symbol group is to be detected and decided from a magnitude of the received signal electric power value, a threshold for reference of decision for detecting the null section is calculated on the basis of an average electric power value for a predetermined period in the received signal electric power value and the threshold calculated in accordance with the received signal level of the transmission signal is used to detect synchronization stably.

摘要:
A bi-directional digital transmission method, and system, for sending and receiving digital transmission signals having a frame configuration modulated by an orthogonal frequency division multiplex modulation scheme. A first sending unit in a first transmission station converts first continuous data to a up-direction intermittent transmission signal, and sends it from a first antenna via a first switchover unit. The up-direction intermittent transmission signal is received by a second antenna of a second transmission station, and supplied to a second receiving unit of the second transmission station via a second switchover unit of the second transmission station. The second receiving unit determines whether receiving operation of the up-direction intermittent transmission signal has been established, and if so, restores the original first continuous data. A second sending unit in the second transmission station converts second continuous data to a down-direction intermittent transmission signal, and sends it from a second antenna via a second switchover unit. In the first transmission station, the down-direction intermittent sending transmission signal is received by the first antenna, and supplied to a first receiving unit via the first switchover unit to restore the original second continuous data.
