Abstract
Abstract A multi-level quadrature amplitude modulator system that can be used in communication channels in which there is intense fluctuation has a transmitter section that is provided with a frame synchronizer that inserts a reference symbol into each group of message symbols, and a receiving section that is provided with an estimator for the transmission path distortion in the message symbols on the basis of distortion found in the reference symbols. The receiving section is also provided with a compensator for the distortion thus described.

Independent Claim
141 words
A multi-level quadrature amplitude modulator system comprising: a transmitter section having a serial-to-parallel converter, baseband signal generator, transmitting filter, quadrature modulator, amplifier and antenna that is provided with: a frame symbol insertion section that inserts one known symbol per prescribed number of information symbols as a reference symbol; and a receiving section having an antenna, receiving filter, automatic gain control, coherent detector, clock regenerator and decoding section that is provided with: a fading-distortion estimation section that estimates transmission path distortion in the information symbols from transmission path distortion that is detected on the basis of the inserted reference symbols; and a fading-distortion compensation section which uses the transmission path distortion information, as estimated by the fading-distortion estimation section, to compensate for distortion in the received baseband signal and estimates the threshold value information required for data determination by the decoding section.
