Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a multicarrier demodulator for separating and demodulating a digitalized frequency multiplexed signal into a plurality (L) of individual channel signals, with the separation being performed using a frequency division demultiplexer (FDM). The separated channel signals are each filtered using bandwidth limitation filters and thereafter demodulated using a synchronous demodulator. Following demodulation, the signals are filtered by interpolation filters, data (Nyquist) filters, and subsequently decided upon in a decider. The invention is characterized by the fact that the demodulator operates upon a pair of phase displaced complex channel signals.
