摘要:
A communication system for coupling telephony or other signals to a broadband network such as a CATV network. The system transmits a multiplex of telephony signals in the forward band of the broadband network, with individual signals directed to an addressed subscriber. Telephony signals returning from subscribers upstream to a headend unit (HIU) are modulated onto the reverse band of the broadband network in a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) arrangement. The upstream modulated telephony signals are received at a telephony network interface at the HIU coupled to the broadband network. A group of reverse band modulated telephony signals are received at a group receiver or channelizer. The group receiver processes all upstream telephony signals within a selected spectral subband in the reverse band to apply a receiver matched filter with a weighted overlap and add circuit, and are then converted to baseband by an FFT circuit. The group receiver provides a serial data stream representing the baseband telephony signals. The baseband telephony signals are processed to derive demodulated telephony signals. The demodulated telephony signals are coupled to the telephony network.

A medium-frequency radio transmission system is formed by installing a receiving antenna for receiving an amplitude-modulated medium-frequency radio wave at the rooftop of an existing building, receiving the medium-frequency radio wave, coupling the received medium-frequency radio wave to an existing distributing cable or distributing conductive piping with or without a coupler for the radio wave, and transmitting the radio wave to a predetermined floor. At the predetermined floor the basement or tunnel of an existing building such as underground shopping mall, underground parking lot, underground railway, road tunnel or deep space of massive building is provided with a coupling such as an existing loop-like or linear wiring or piping line with or without a coupler.
摘要:
An system, method, and method of encoding/decoding a multi-channel audio signal, including a decoding level generation unit producing decoding-level information that helps a bitstream including a number of audio channel signals and space information to be decoded into a number of audio channel signals, wherein the space information includes information about magnitude differences and/or similarities between channels, and an audio decoder decoding the bitstream according to the decoding-level information. Accordingly, even a single input bitstream can be decoded into a suitable number of channels depending on the type of a speaker configuration used. Scalable channel decoding can be achieved by partially decoding an input bitstream. In the scalable channel decoding, a decoder may set decoding levels and outputs audio channel signals according to the decoding levels, thereby reducing decoding complexity.

Signals, such as television signals, are distributed from a head-end station via a fibre network. The signals are amplitude modulated on carriers at different frequencies, and the different carriers combined to form a composite analogue signal. In the head-end station the composite analogue signal is clipped to reduce the peak-to-mean ratio and the clipped composite signal is digitized. The resulting digital data is transmitted onto the fibre network and is received at an optical receiver. The optical receiver reconstitutes the composite analogue signal for reception by a termination. In one example the composite analogue signal has a bandwidth of one octave or less, and is digitized by sampling at a sampling rate below the Nyquist rate.

This invention provides a method for reducing peak to average power ratio in a radio frequency signal. The method comprises the steps of modulating a plurality of sub-carriers with a plurality of data symbol vectors to produce a first modulated signal; limiting the magnitude of the first modulated signal to produce a first limited modulated signal; demodulating the first limited modulated signal to recover the constellation points; predistorting the data symbol vectors to provide a minimum magnitude for in-phase and quadrature components thereof to produce predistorted data symbol vectors; modulating the plurality of carriers with the predistorted data symbol vectors to produce a second modulated signal; limiting the magnitude the second modulated signal to produce a second limited modulated signal; and reducing intermodulation products in the second limited modulated signal. Transmitters that perform the method are also included.
