Abstract
Abstract A digital data transmitter is described, whose line carrier frequency need not be an integral multiple of one half the clock frequency of the digital input signal. Use is made of a digital filter for increasing the sampling frequency to a value which is twice the modulator carrier wave frequency.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
Modulation- and filtering device for digital signals comprising means for filtering the digital signals and means for modulating the filtered digital signals, on a modulator carrier wave characterized in that signal samples of the digital input signal, which occur at a first sampling frequency are converted in a digital filter to signal samples of a second sampling frequency, which is twice as high as the modulator carrier wave frequency and the signal samples at the second sampling frequency are modulated in the modulator with signal samples of the modulator carrier wave which occur at the same second sampling frequency the digital filter being adapted to have a band-pass filter characteristic.
