The present invention relates to a method of binary encoding the N points of a constellation corresponding to the discrete positions, in amplitude and in phase, associated with the encoding of binary words in the case of a multicarrier modulation of OFDM type (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) of a digitized signal. According to the method, two adjacent points of the constellation correspond to binary words which differ from one another by at most two bits. The present invention applies in particular to digital television.

The present invention relates to a method of realigning the local oscillators of a receiver, as well as a device for implementing the method. In a receiver with a high frequency/intermediate frequency translation oscillator, an intermediate frequency/baseband translation oscillator, and a sampling oscillator receiving a signal modulated by at least one circuit for inverse fast Fourier transform FFT.sup.-1 computation according to a multicarrier modulation of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) type with addition of a transition interval at the start of each transmission interval. The spectrum of the signal has two master lines with a fixed frequency difference between them. The method is characterized by the following steps: (1) determination of the start of a transmission interval; (2) determination of the position of the two master lines; and (3) computation of the variation of the phases of these two lines as a function of time, and exploitation of the result to set the frequency of the sampling oscillator and of the intermediate frequency baseband translation oscillator. The invention will find particular application to digital television.

A transmission method and a transmitter and receiver Structure is disclosed which provides for transmission of modulated waves using long pulses with a plurality of frequencies. The method involves two consecutive frequencies being separated by 1/T, where T is the period of the useful transmission intervals. The method and the apparatus are particularly suited to broadcasting and reception of television and radio signals as well as telephone communications between exchanges and between radio telephones and communication stations including terrestrial stations and satellites and local computer networks. Most particularly the method is applicable to high fidelity radio transmissions as well as to high definition television (HDTV).

The present invention relates to a process for transmitting a digitized signal according to OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) type multicarrier modulation using N orthogonal channels. In accordance with the present invention, the channels are divided into two, N/2 channels. corresponding to a first frequency band being sent via a first transmission track (3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A) according to a first polarization and the remaining N/2 channels being brought back into the same frequency band and sent via a second transmission track (3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B) according to a second polarization crossed with respect to the first.

A projection display device is provided with a negative feedback chain designed to correct all the faults of the projected image, said faults resulting as much from the projection tubes and from their optic systems (geometrical or focusing faults) as from the differences between these tubes (faults in convergence, colorimetry or uniformity of brilliance). The negative feedback chain comprises a test chart generating means, a means to retake the entire projected image and means for the comparision of the signals coming from the test image and from the retaken image. Correction signals are prepared on the basis of this comparison and are applied to the different control circuits defining the projection characteristics. The disclosed device can also be used for the real-time follow-up of the adjustments obtained in a phase prior to the projection of the sequence of useful video images. The invention can be applied notably to video projectors, retro-projection display devices or beam-index tubes.

A DIDON Digital demodulator includes an input analog-to-digital conversion device which supplies n samples (n being at least equal to 4) during a DIDON period, and an identification device which involves shifts at the sampling frequency in order to search and detect groups of n successive samples which are probably representative of DIDON signals. The probability criteria are a function of the structure of the group under study and of the nature of the DIDON signal which said group may represent in comparison with the nature of the DIDON signal represented by the group which precedes this signal by a DIDON period. The identification device outputs a configuration probability signal and a configuration signal. The configuration signal is received by a data regenerating circuit which then regenerates a data signal and a clock signal when the identification device determines that the configurations are probably DIDON signals.

A teletext network analyzer includes a coupler for forwarding received data to a data processor. The coupler is programmable by the data processor to select data associated with one or more hierarchical levels in a data broadcasting standard. A data processor includes a data analysis task and a results synthesis task for analyzing the data forwarded by the coupler and for synthesizing a teletext image representative of the results of the analysis. The image is displayed on a videographic terminal primarily intended for displaying the broadcast data.

The unit for testing a plurality of tracks of a high-speed recorder in parallel comprises an emission subassembly for the transmission of data to the recorder to be tested and a test subassembly. The emission subassembly mainly comprises a generator for producing a pseudo-random or ramp-function sequence of binary numbers consisting of a plurality of binary elements in parallel. The test subassembly comprises a data storage device for storing the data reproduced by the tested recorder, a second generator programmed in the same manner as the first, a device for comparing the reproduced sequence with the emitted sequence and an error analysis device which delivers a measurement of the error rate and serves to locate the detected errors.

The error-correcting device for processing data in parallel on a plurality of tracks provides two levels of correction on the basis of redundancy bits added to the transmitted data, namely bits resulting from coding in blocks of serial data on each channel by means of a shortened Fire code (200, 180), and parity bits each relating to one-half of the parallel tracks. An array of decoders delivers the data corrected on the basis of the bits resulting from the Fire code which are substituted when necessary for the data stored in a memory. When the errors in a block of one of the tracks are too long to be corrected in this manner, two parity computers associated with multiplexers permit determination of the erroneous bits.
摘要:
In a digital communication system in which the information is transmitted by successions of bits termed packets, stations may be called upon to perform the function of a relay between other stations. The stations which may be called upon to perform the function of a relay comprise: a checking device which merely checks the address code of a packet received; an eliminating and switching device which either destroys the packet (doubtful address code) or orients the packet toward receiving means pertaining to the station (address code identical to the code of the station) or toward the station corresponding to the address code by passing through a transit memory; and information producing means for producing packets within the station. The contents of the transit memory are transmitted in priority by the station. The packets produced within a station are transmitted in the gaps between the packets coming from the transit memory and in an order which is a function of a classification between the priorities allocated to the information producing means of the considered station.
