Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention is made in view of the above-mentioned problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a transmitter and transmission method in the DWMC data transmitting method, which enables shortening of the length of the preamble data and improves the convergence speed of the AGO.
[0009]In this way, the invention provides a transmitter and transmitting method which enables shortening of the length of the preamble data and improves the convergence speed of the AGC.

Problems solved by technology

Recently, wavelet-based OFDM has been proposed to replace FFT-based OFDM as a modulation / demodulation method in OFDM transmission because FET-based OFDM has basic weaknesses such as poor resistance to narrow band interference, poor resistance to internal interference, and low transmission efficiency because of the necessity of a cyclic prefix.
While auto gain control (AGC) is performed in a receiver by using a wavelet waveform without ramp processing, convergence speed of the AGC becomes an issue because of the complexity of the wavelet waveform.

first embodiment

[0026]A first embodiment of the invention generates a digital wavelet multi-carrier (DWMC) transmission signal from a plurality of digitally modulated waves that are received from real-coefficient filter banks. Low bit rate modulation, such as quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), may be used for modulating each carrier.

[0027]A data transmission method according to the DWMC transmission method will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 10-12.

[0028]FIG. 10 illustrates a waveform of a wavelet, and FIG. 11 illustrates a DWMC transmission waveform according to the invention. As shown in FIG. 10, each waveform 1001 of the wavelet has an impulse response, and impulse responses of each of the plurality of waveforms 1001 are transmitted in an overlapping relationship with each other. As shown in FIG. 11, each transmission symbol 1101 is formed by a time waveform 1102 that is a combination of impulse responses fo...

second embodiment

[0046]A transmitter of the second embodiment basically has the same configuration as the transmitter of the first embodiment. However, the ramp processing is different from that employed in the transmitter of the first embodiment. This difference will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 3-5, and 16.

[0047]In the present embodiment, preamble data generator 10 normally outputs serial data having values of “O” until instructed by the controller to output preamble data. When the instruction is received to output preamble data, preamble data generator 10 serially generates a value, such as “1,” over several symbol periods so that each subcarrier produced by S / P transformer 16 contains a series of this value as its preamble data.

[0048]FIG. 9 illustrates a relationship among symbol data 901 of the Preamble data, a time waveform 902 of the preamble data, and a ramp processing waveform 903 used for generating a DWMC transmission signal according to the Invention. In FIG. 9, the ...

third embodiment

[0057]A transmitter of the third embodiment has basically the same configuration as the transmitter of the first embodiment. However, the configuration of the inverse wavelet transformer 20 will be described in greater detail here, with reference to FIGS. 6-8.

[0058]FIG. 6 illustrates a block diagram of an inverse wavelet transformer in a transmitter according to a third embodiment of the invention. Inverse wavelet transformer 20 includes a fast discrete cosine transformer (type 4)40, a prototype filter 42, M up-samplers 44, and M−1 delays 46. Up-samplers 44 multiply the sampling rate of the transmitted waveform by M, and delays 46 delay the transmitted waveform.

[0059]FIG. 7 illustrates a block diagram of a prototype filter 42 of the inverse wavelet transformer according to the third embodiment of the invention. Prototype filter 42 is a polyphase filter that includes multipliers 62, which hold prototype filter coefficients, and adders 64. A general configuration of a polyphase filter...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a transmitter and method employing a multi-carrier transmission method, especially utilizing real coefficient wavelet filter banks. The transmitter includes a preamble data generator, a modulator, and a ramp processor. The preamble data generator generates preamble bit data, and outputs the preamble data. The modulator modulates the preamble data, generates a plurality of subcarriers, and outputs a composite wave of the time waves of the plurality of subcarriers. Subsequently, the ramp processor performs ramp processing on the composite wave with a certain delay period from a reference position of the composite wave.

[0001]This is a continuation application of application Ser. No. 10 / 983,010 filed Jul. 2, 2004, which is based on JP 2003-190953 filed Jul. 3, 2003, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a transmitter and transmission method employing a multi-carrier transmission technique, particularly a digital wavelet multi-carrier (DWMC) transmission technique utilizing real coefficient wavelet filter banks.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is frequently adopted as a conventional multi-carrier transmission method, for example, as described in U.S. Pat.
