A 2ⁿ-QAM (e.g. 16-QAM) optical modulator comprising cascaded I-Q modulators. The first I-Q modulator applies 2^n-2 (e.g. 4) QAM to an optical signal, having a constellation diagram with the 2^n-2 (e.g., 4) constellation points located in quadrant I. The second I-Q modulator subsequently applies a quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation scheme to the optical signal, thereby rotating the constellation points of the 2^n-2-QAM modulation scheme to quadrants II, III and IV, to produce a 2ⁿ-QAM modulation constellation diagram. The rotation causes the 2ⁿ-QAM modulator to inherently apply four quadrant differential encoding to the optical signal. A method of 2ⁿ-QAM optical modulation is also provided and optical signal transmission apparatus comprising the 2ⁿ-QAM optical modulator.

The invention discloses a digital modulation method, a digital transmission device and equipment. The digital modulation method comprises the following steps: implementing symbol mapping on the source data of each sub-channel to obtain quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK) symbols; grouping the QPSK symbols and performing discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to obtain frequency domain signals; implementing low-pass filtering and frequency reuse processing on the frequency domain signals of each sub-channel; implementing inverse Fourier transform on the frequency domain signals that are subjected to frequency reuse to obtain an OFDM symbol, and then transmitting the OFDM symbol after adding the OFDM symbol into a cyclic prefix (CP). According to the digital modulation method, the digital transmission device and equipment disclosed by the invention, the frequency domain signals obtained by implementing DFT on each sub-channel are separately subjected to low-pass filtering, and thus the bandwidth of modulation signals subjected to frequency domain reuse becomes narrower, the crosstalk damages caused by multiplexing multiple sub-bands can also be reduced, and the spectrum efficiency can be increased.

A modulation and demodulation method of a wave form synergy signal based on a frequency domain and a fractional Fourier domain orthogonal basis function relates to a signal modulation and demodulation method, and aims at solving the problem that a modulation and demodulation method of an existing quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK) signal is low in efficiency. Modulation and demodulation are achieved by a way of wave form synergy of a chirp signal and a sine and cosine signal, and therefore the modulation and demodulation method of the wave form synergy signal based on the frequency domain and the fractional Fourier domain orthogonal basis function is a novel modulation and demodulation method. In addition, two branches of chirp signals are respectively added to an I branch and a Q branch modulated by the existing QPSK signal and are used as carrier waves to respectively modulate one branch of baseband signal, so that existing two-way modulation is added up to four-way modulation, and at the demodulation end, filter waves are combined and matched by using a frequency domain template and a fraction domain template, and eight integrators are designed, and finally filtering results are combined so as to judge the information bit. The modulation and demodulation method is appropriate for the wireless communication field.
