Abstract
Abstract In a multiplex signal processing apparatus, in the band of a demodulated signal in which a carrier is amplitude-modulated in a vestigial side band by a main signal, another carrier is superposed which is identical in frequency to the first carrier but different in phase by 90° is amplitude-modulated its double side bands by a multiplex signal which is different from the main signal and which is formed into a vestigial side band signal by a nyquist filter. At least either the frequency or polarity of the multiplex signal is inverted on the transmission side by a multiplier, an oscillator and a filter. At least either the frequency or polarity of the multiplex signal is inverted on the reception side by a multiplier, an oscillator and a filter. The reception side has a crosstalk reduction filter for removing crosstalk from the main signal to the multiplex signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A multiplex signal processing apparatus on a transmission side, comprising: a first carrier modulating means for modulating a first carrier by a main signal; a means for inverting at least one of frequency and polarity of a multiplex signal; a second carrier modulating means for modulating a second carrier, which is the same in frequency as and different in phase from the first carrier, by an output of said inverting means; and a means for adding an output of the first carrier modulating means and an output of the second carrier modulating means to obtain a signal to be transmitted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A multiplex signal processing apparatus on a transmission side, comprising: a first carrier modulating means for modulating a first carrier by a main signal; a means for inverting at least one of frequency and polarity of a multiplex signal; a second carrier modulating means for modulating a second carrier, which is the same in frequency as and different in phase from the first carrier, by an output of said inverting means; and a means for adding an output of the first carrier modulating means and an output of the second carrier modulating means to obtain a signal to be transmitted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A multiplex signal processing apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising an inverse nyquist filter having nyquist characteristics for filtering the output from the second carrier modulating means to form a vestigial side band signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
161 words
A multiplex signal processing apparatus on a reception side, comprising: a first synchronous detection means for receiving a signal composed of a signal formed by modulating a first carrier by a main signal and a signal formed by modulating a second carrier, which is the same in frequency as and different in phase from the the first carrier, by a signal inverted with respect to at least one of frequency and polarity of a multiplex signal, and synchronously detecting in-phase components of the first carrier to obtain the main signal; a second synchronous detection means for receiving the same signal as that received by the first synchronous detection means, and synchronously detecting in-phase components of the second carrier to obtain the multiplex signal; a filter for removing cross-talk from the main signal from the output multiplex signal of the second synchronous detection means; and a means for inverting at least one of frequency and polarity of an output of said filter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
161 words
A multiplex signal processing apparatus on a reception side, comprising: a first synchronous detection means for receiving a signal composed of a signal formed by modulating a first carrier by a main signal and a signal formed by modulating a second carrier, which is the same in frequency as and different in phase from the the first carrier, by a signal inverted with respect to at least one of frequency and polarity of a multiplex signal, and synchronously detecting in-phase components of the first carrier to obtain the main signal; a second synchronous detection means for receiving the same signal as that received by the first synchronous detection means, and synchronously detecting in-phase components of the second carrier to obtain the multiplex signal; a filter for removing cross-talk from the main signal from the output multiplex signal of the second synchronous detection means; and a means for inverting at least one of frequency and polarity of an output of said filter.
