Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a receiver, a combiner, and a transformer. The receiver receives signals mapped on plural frequency bands. A size of at least one of the frequency bands is a multiple of a product of two or more powers of prime numbers, which are integer numbers greater than 1 and are different from each other. An exponent for at least one of the prime numbers is an integer greater than 1. The combiner combines the received signals into a combined signal. The transformer transforms the combined signal in a frequency domain into a symbol sequence in a time domain with an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) having a size that is a product of powers of plural values. The values are integer numbers greater than 1 and are different from each other. An exponent for at least one of the values is an integer greater than 1.

The modem is configured to retrieve the known sequence from the signal, transform the known sequence and the data into a frequency domain, calculate averages of groups of neighboring frequency points in the frequency domain to reduce the effect of nonlinear noise in the signal, the neighboring frequency points corresponding to the preamble in the frequency domain, compare the calculated averages to an expected frequency response in the frequency domain, determine a correction filter to apply to the data based on the comparison, apply the correction filter on the data in the frequency domain to create corrected data, transform the corrected data from the frequency domain to the time domain, and provide the data.

Abstract:
Provided is a radio communication device which can reduce ISI caused by destruction of an orthogonal DFT matrix even when an SC-FDMA signal is divided into a plurality of clusters and the clusters are respectively mapped to discontinuous frequency bands. The radio communication device includes a DFT unit (110), a division unit (111), and a mapping unit (112). The DFT unit (110) uses the DFT matrix to execute a DFT process on a symbol sequence in a time region to generate a signal (SC-FDMA signal) of the frequency region. The division unit (111) generates a plurality of clusters by dividing the SC-FDMA signal with a partially orthogonal bandwidth corresponding to the vector length of some of the column vectors constituting the DFT matrix used in the DFT unit (110) and orthogonally intersecting at least partially. The mapping unit (112) maps the clusters to discontinuous frequency bands.

Abstract:
A telecommunications system provides telephone services to subscriber locations over dedicated optical fibers which extend in a “star” configuration from a telephone central office. A transmultiplexer installed at the central office is connected between a digital switch and the optical fibers. The transmultiplexer has a plurality of FDM ports, each of which is connected to a respective one of the optical fibers. The transmultiplexer is connected by one or more TDM ports to the digital switch. Preferably, the transmultiplexer provides a concentrating function whereby the number of subscriber lines served by the transmultiplexer is greater than the total voice-grade channel capacity of the connection between the transmultiplexer and the digital switch.
Abstract:
A transmultiplexer (202) is provided for transmultiplexing digitized signal samples (244) produced by a converter. The transmultiplexer (202) comprises a first Fourier transformer bank (304) configured to transform the digital signal samples (244) produced by the digitizer into frequency domain input signals (320). The transmultiplexer (202) also comprises a frequency domain shifter bank (306) configured to circularly shift the frequency domain input signals (320) to produce shifted signals (324). A frequency domain pre-filter bank (308) is configured to perform a first fast convolution with the shifted signals (324) and a first discrete Fourier transform of a first filtering function to produce filtered input signals (330), and a combining Fourier transformer (310) is configured to transform the filtered input signals (330) to produce output signals (348) containing a sample corresponding to a down-converted channel.
Abstract:
A group modulator provided a plurality of digitally modulated signals with frequency division multiplex, having a time division multiplexer (11) for multiplexing a plurality of input data (#l through #n). A mapping circuit (12) provides an I-channel signal and a Q-channel signal according to a pattern of the multiplexed signal and the modulation system. A pulse shaping circuit (13) restricts bandwidth of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal. A frequency shift circuit (14) shifts frequency of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal by the frequency defined by the carrier control signal (i) for each input data. An accumulator (21,22) accumulates each of the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal of the output of the frequency shift circuit (14) during a predetermined period (T). A D/A converter (31, 32) converts the output of the accumulator from digital form to analog form. A low pass filter (41, 42) is provided at the output of the D/A converter. A quadrature modulator (5) modulates carrier frequency (f.sub.c) with quadrature modulation according to the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal at the output of the low pass filter. A multiplicity control (6) controls multiplicity in the time division multiplexer (11) according to an external multiplicity signal.
Abstract:
A device for transforming N-Frequency Division Multiplexed (FDM) channels (21) of modulated signals into individually accessible streams (46) of demodulated data employs a Fourier transform processor (10) to transform the N-FDM channels into a single, TDM (Time Division Multiplex) channel of data, a single demodulator (12) for demodulating the single TDM channel and a demultiplexer (14) for demultiplexing the single channel of TDM data. The symbol segments of the N-FDM channels are synchronized with each other using an error signal generator (78) and a dither technique in which a symbol window is shifted back and forth to determine whether the symbol segments are early, on time or late. In a preferred form, the demodulator and error signal generator are implemented using digital techniques. The Fourier transform processor (10) includes a pair of analog dispersion sections (26, 42) for introducing delays in the FDM signals as nominal monotonic delay functions of frequency, a frequency sweep section (35) and a calibration section (45) for compensating for deviations in the differential delay for functions such that the output of the second analog dispersion section is substantially that calculated for an ideal system.
Abstract:
An interface circuit is provided to convert serial, 30 channel, compressed, sign magnitude FDM-PCM data provided by a pair of voice communication codecs (code/decode) into parallel, 60 channel, expanded (linear), 2's complement PCM data, so that it can be used in an FDM/TDM processor. The conversion process is reversed on the return of data from the FDM/TDM processor to the codecs. A unique method of read/write and memory address control provides specific ordering of data and alternating two-way data flow in rapid succession.
