Abstract
Abstract A modulator for generating a burst-like modulated wave used in a multi-carrier transmission type communication system in which a plurality of modulated waves including at least one burst-like modulated wave exist on the same transmission line and the frequency band occupied by energy of each of the plurality of modulated waves is limited. Polarities of the transmission code which appear before and after either of on-timing and off-timing of the carrier on/off switched to obtain the burst-like modulated wave among the plurality of modulated waves are inverted to each other, whereby the envelope of the burst-like modulated wve can be changed gradually at the carrier on/off timing in order to reduce the interference of the modulated wave with the adjacent channels without degrading the transmission efficiency.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A modulator for generating a burst-like modulated wave used in a multi-carrier transmission type communication system in which a plurality of modulated waves including at least one burst-like modulated wave exist on the same transmission line and the frequency band occupied by energy of each of said plurality of modulated waves is limited, said modulator comprising: formatting means responsive to a digital data signal to be transmitted to generate a bit stream formatted in accordance with a predetermined frame format; means connected to said formatting means, for converting said bit stream into a band limited base band signal; means for generating a carrier; means connected to said converting means and said carrier generating means, for mixing said carrier with said base band signal; means connected to said carrier generating means and responsive to a carrier on/off signal, for controlling timings for supply and supply-stop of said carrier to said mixing means; and means connected between said formatting means and said converting means, for so setting polarities of transmission code signals, which appear before and after either of supply timing and supply-stop timing of said carrier to said mixing means, as to be inverted to each other.

A modulator for generating a burst-like modulated wave used in a multi-carrier transmission type communication system in which a plurality of modulated waves including at least one burst-like modulated wave exist on the same transmission line and the frequency band occupied by energy of each of said plurality of modulated waves is limited, said modulator comprising: formatting means responsive to a digital data signal to be transmitted to generate a bit stream formatted in accordance with a predetermined frame format; means connected to said formatting means, for converting said bit stream into a band limited base band signal; means for generating a carrier; means connected to said converting means and said carrier generating means, for mixing said carrier with said base band signal; means connected to said carrier generating means and responsive to a carrier on/off signal, for controlling timings for supply and supply-stop of said carrier to said mixing means; and means connected between said formatting means and said converting means, for so setting polarities of transmission code signals, which appear before and after either of supply timing and supply-stop timing of said carrier to said mixing means, as to be inverted to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
A modulator according to claim 1 wherein said polarity setting means comprises a first flip-flop for receiving said bit stream, a second flip-flop connected to the output of said first flip-flop, a first inverter connected to the output of said second flip-flop, a second inverter for receiving said bit stream, and switching means responsive to said carrier on/off signal, for selecting any one of output signals of said first flip-flop and first and second inverters.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
A modulator according to claim 1 wherein said burst-like modulated wave has bit patterns of a predetermined logical value at its head and trail, and said polarity setting means has means responsive to said carrier on/off signal to so set polarities of the transmission code signals, which appear before and after either of supply timing and supply-stop timing of said carrier, as to be inverted relative to the polarity of said bit patterns of predetermined logical value.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A modulator according to claim 1 wherein said converting means has second converting means for converting said bit stream into said base band signal, and a low-pass filter connected to the output of said second converting means to receive said base band signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
133 words
A modulator according to claim 1 wherein said polarity setting means comprises means for storing a first bit code set of at least one bit code immediately preceding the supply timing of said carrier and a second bit code set of at least one bit code immediately succeeding the supply-stop timing of said carrier, and means for reading the content of said storing means at timing which at least one bit precedes said supply timing and at timing which at least one bit succeeds said supply-stop timing, said first bit code set having a polarity inverse to that of the transmission code signal which appears immediately after said supply timing and said second bit code set having a polarity inverse to that of the transmission code which appears immediately before said supply-stop timing.
