Abstract
Abstract One of a reference phase signal and an orthogonal phase signal is inverted to provide an inverted phase signal. when an arrangement of a local frequency is the same between transmitting and receiving sides, a carrier wave signal is FM-modulated by the reference and orthogonal phase signals. On the other hand, when the above arrangement is different between the transmitting and receiving sides, a carrier wave signal is FM-modulated by the inverted phase signal and the remaining one of the reference and orthogonal phase signals.
