Patent number: 7969860Abstract: A serial-parallel converter 102 of a transmitter apparatus receives an input of a signal to be transmitted and serial-parallel-converts this to output m (m?2) number of intermediate signals. A unitary matrix modulator 103 modulates the output m number of intermediate signals into a unitary matrix of m rows and m columns whose components other than diagonal components are 0 and outputs the obtained matrix. A splitter 111 supplies the respective diagonal components of the output matrix to the input channels of an inverse Fourier transform unit 112 as input signals. The inverse Fourier transform unit 112 outputs m number of inverse-Fourier-transformed signals obtained by performing inverse Fourier transform of the supplied input signals. A parallel-serial converter 113 parallel-serial-converts the output m number of inverse-Fourier-transformed signals to output one transmission signal. A transmission unit 114 transmits the output transmission signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications TechnologyInventors: Chang-Jun Ahn, Masayuki Fujise

Patent number: 7903717Abstract: When a receiver (200) receives a signal transmitted from a transmitter, an A/D converter (204) converts the signal into a digital signal having two or more levels by A/D conversion. A zero-level detector (207) converts the signal into a two-level digital signal of positive and negative levels. The converted signals are subjected to spectrum despreading by correlators (206, 208), respectively. Whichever signal has a higher intensity is selected by absolute value detectors (209, 210), a comparator (211), and a switch (212). A decoder (213) decodes the selected signal. In a receiving state where the zero-level detector (207) is selected, the transmitter transmits the transmission signal after the signal is converted into a two-level signal. In a receiving state where the A/D converter (204) is selected, the transmitter transmits the transmission signal after the signal is converted into a signal having two or more levels.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2005Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Incorporated Administrative AgencyInventors: Satoshi Takahashi, Hiroshi Harada, Chang-Jun Ahn

Patent number: 7826546Abstract: A transmitter codes data to be transferred, performs serial-parallel conversion of the data to two signal groups, and passes one of the groups to a first transmission unit and the other one to a second transmission unit. Each of the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit performs a prephasing process on each of signals included in the input signal group received, performs inverse Fourier transform thereon, and transmits the signal with a predetermined polarization. The polarity of the predetermined polarization of the first transmission is orthogonal to a polarity of the predetermined polarization of the second transmission unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications TechnologyInventor: Chang-Jun Ahn
