摘要:
In a demodulation system comprising a demodulator (22) which demodulates a quadrature amplitude modulated signal into first and second sets of output digital signals by the use of a reference carrier signal (CA), a specific phase control signal is produced in a transient state by discriminating a plurality of areas and a plurality of zones defined on a phase plane of the modulated signal. The areas are defined by dividing the phase plane by both a pair of quadrant reference axes and a pair of auxiliary reference axes phase shifted by .pi./4 (radians) relative to the quadrant decision axes. The zones are defined along and adjacent to the auxiliary reference axes. First and second detection signals (S.sub.1 and S.sub.2) are produced by a read-only memory (35) as results of discrimination of the areas and the zones, respectively. The specific phase control signal is switched to a normal phase control signal produced in a normal state in the known manner. Alternatively, the first and the second detection signals may be supplied to a transversal equalizer (21) for controlling imaginary part weighting control signals.

In a demodulation circuit, a timing synchronizing circuit generates a timing signal representing a sampling timing of an A/D converter and has a timing signal generator, a polarity identification circuit and a logic circuit. The timing signal generator is phase-controlled by a phase control signal and generates a timing signal. The polarity identification circuit identifies a polarity of a differential coefficient of the baseband signal at a sampling point of the A/D converter and generates a polarity identification signal. Upon logic processing, the logic circuit supplies to the timing signal generator the phase control signal representing a deviation of an actual sampling point of the baseband signal from an optimal sampling point. A carrier asynchronism detection circuit detects an asynchronism state of a carrier regenerating circuit and supplies to the timing synchronizing circuit a signal which changes its loop parameter.

In a digital demodulator, a recovered baseband signal is sampled in response to a clock pulse supplied from a VCO and converted to a digital signal representing one of multilevels of the sampled signal. Real-axis and imaginary-axis transversal equalizers are provided. Each equalizer has a tapped delay line for receiving the digital signal, a plurality to tap weight multipliers connected respectively to taps of the tapped delay line, and an adder. The adder of the real-axis transversal equalizer sums all outputs of the tap weight multipliers except for the output of one which is connected to a tap adjacent to the center tap for producing a partially equalized signal, while the adder of the other equalizer sums all outputs of the tap weight multipliers for producing a fully equalized signal. Both of the equalized signals are summed by an adder and applied to a phase control circuit which derives from it a VCO control signal so that it corresponds to a tap-weight control signal applied to the multiplier whose output is excluded from being summed by the adder of the real-axis transversal equalizer. The output of the adder is summed with the excluded multiplier output and supplied to a tap weight controller which controls the multipliers of both transversal equalizers.

A 2.sup.n -level demodulated signal is resolved into 2.sup.(n+m) equal intervals by an (n+m)-bit A/D converter (12) and an (n+m)th significant bit is produced from the LSB output of the converter as a representation of an interfering signal contained in the demodulated signal, where m is equal to or greater than unity. A subtractor (5p, 5q; 32p, 32q) cancels the interfering signal with a cancelling signal supplied from a feedback control circuit (9, 11, 7; 16-19; 30-31) which derives it by controlling the amplitude of the (n+m)th significant bit in accordance with the amount of the interfering signal still present in the output of the subtractor.

An AGC circuit for controlling an input level of a multi-level discriminator to an optimum one and a transversal equalizer capable of fully exhibiting an equalizing function thereof, each being installed in a digital demodulation system applicable to a multi-level communication system. The AGC circuit eliminates false pull-in to promote stable pull-in operations and is applicable not only to baseband signals having two or more levels but also to a 16 QAM system in microwave digital communication. Even when a demodulator is in an asynchronous state and input signals have significant intersymbol interference, the demodulation system is capable of being restored to normal to allow the equalizer to fully exhibit its capability.

A transmission capacity of a transmitter is controlled by a signal input from a receiver through a propagation path. The receiver produces a control signal for controlling a system at the optimum transmission capacity which is obtained from monitored information such as transmission quality or reception C/N and the like, and outputs the control signal to the transmitter and a judging circuit. The judging circuit compares the transmission capacity of each line. When the transmission capacity of a first regular line is the lowest transmission capacity, a switching signal is output from the judging circuit. Then a transmission switching device and a reception switching device operate and the input signal on the first regular line is output through the spare line. The transmission capacity of the signal is that of the spare line.

Multilevel baseband signals are applied to a full-wave rectifying section which produces first and second outputs. These outputs are applied to an analog-to-digital converting means which produces a plurality of recovered binary digital signals and an error signal. A controller is supplied with at least one recovered binary digital signal and the error signal, and produces two control signals which are fed to the full-wave rectifying section to compensate (a) first DC-drifts superimposed on the multilevel baseband signal and (b) second DC-drifts generated within the full-wave rectifying section itself.

In a timing synchronizing circuit wherein a timing signal is regenerated from a baseband signal subjected to a bandwidth limitation, there are provided a voltage controlled oscillator whose oscillation frequency varies in accordance with a control signal, an A/D converter which samples and shapes the baseband signal by utilizing the output of the voltage controlled oscillator, a decision circuit for deciding the polarity of a differential coefficient of the baseband signal at an optimum sampling point on the basis of an output of the A/D converter, and a logic circuit responsive to the output of the decision circuit to apply a logical operation to a decision signal derived from the A/D converter and which decides whether or not the baseband signal shifts from a level corresponding to the optimum sampling point, thereby producing the control signal for the voltage controlled oscillator. According to this circuit the regenerated timing signal contains only a negligible amount of jitter components and always maintains an optimum timing without using any phase adjustment.
摘要:
A phase synchronizing circuit for processing a 2.sup.n- phase phase modulated input signal wherein the signal is detected by phase detectors each of whose outputs are then phase shifted through a phase angle determined by the ratio of a:b = 1:tan (.pi./2.sup.n+1) where a represents the amplitude of the phase detector output and b represents the amplitude of a signal orthogonal to the signal a. The 2.sup.n phase shifted signals repetitively undergo frequency doubling and then a combined signal from each pair of doublers is generated to successively reduce the signals to 2.sup.n-1 in number, then 2.sup.n-2 in number, and so forth, until only one pair of signals remains. A difference signal of the pair of signals is formed, which difference signal represents an error signal and is employed to operate a voltage controlled oscillator serving as the signal to be compared at each phase detector with the input signal, after undergoing an appropriate phase shift.The phase shift of each phase detector output signal is accomplished by attenuating the output signal of that one of the remaining phase detectors which is orthogonal with the output signal undergoing phase shift wherein the respective ratios of the amplitudes of the signals are 1:tan (.pi./2.sup.n+1). The output signal being phase shifted and the attenuated output signal being used to control the magnitude of the phase shift are combined in an adder (or subtractor) circuit to effect the phase shift.
