Abstract: A highly reliable and high-speed data transmission is made by using an FH or MFSK mode as suitably selected according to the usage of channels. When a reception signal is entered into a receiver through a transmission line, (i) a signal processing unit supplies the spectrum intensity values of carrier frequencies, (ii) a channel detection unit controls the phase of a time slot based on the spectrum intensity values, selects the MFSK or FH modulation mode, and supplies reception code data corresponding to detected carrier frequencies, and (iii) a decoder supplies reception information data based on the reception code data.
