Abstract: A wireless transmission system performs multi-station simultaneous transmission of data. The wireless transmission system includes wireless stations for transmitting and receiving data. Transmitter-side wireless stations, a multipath channel, and receiver-side wireless stations constitute a system for path diversity. At least one wireless station among the wireless stations determines, depending on a response packet with respective to a multi-station simultaneous transmission request packet transmitted by itself or other stations, delay amounts from a reference timing during multi-station simultaneous transmission in the wireless transmission system, and symbol waveforms that are a basis for a modulated waveform. A difference between each delay amount is set to be larger than or equal to a predetermined delay resolution for each symbol waveform, and a difference between maximum and minimum values of the delay amounts is set to be smaller than or equal to a predetermined maximum delay.

Abstract: A detected signal 111 contains a preamble portion which includes symbol alternations, followed by a unique word portion, and a data portion. Each time a symbol alternation is detected, a correction value calculation section 102 averages the phase shift in the detected signal 111 for a predetermined length, thereby calculating a correction value 115. The correction value determination section 103 stores a plurality of correction values 115 in a chronological order. When the unique word portion is detected, the correction value determination section 103 retains, as an effective correction value 118, a correction value which is arrived at by going back a predetermined number of correction values among the stored correction values. A phase rotation section 104 corrects the phase of the detected signal 111 by using an effective correction value 118 calculated by the correction value determination section 103.

Abstract: In an OFDM transmission method, in order to compensate any frequency response variation time wise resulted from any distortion in a transmission path, out-of-synchronization with passage of time, frequency drift, and phase shift, and to improve a demodulation characteristic, a PS detector in a receiver receiving an OFDM signal detects a pilot symbol. A PS1 TPFR calculator calculates a frequency response of the transmission path for a first pilot symbol, while a PS2 TPFR calculator calculates a frequency response of the transmission path for a second pilot symbol. Thereafter, a compensation vector calculator calculates compensation vectors from the frequency responses of the transmission path for both the first and second pilot symbols by linear approximation. A frequency response compensator compensates the frequency response variation of subcarriers in a data symbol based on the calculated compensation vectors.

Abstract: A clock recovery circuit capable of fast and accurate clock phase locking even in the presence of frequency shift and noise. The input signal includes, in order, a preamble with an alternating bit sequence pattern, a unique word and data. A detection unit detects zero crossings and measures the time interval therebetween. A 1-interval judgment unit judges whether an interval signal is within a predetermined range, and a 2-interval judgment unit sums two adjacent interval signals and judges whether the 2-interval signal is within a predetermined range. A control unit controls a zero-crossing signal based on the judgment result and outputs a valid zero-crossing signal if judged in the affirmative. A switching unit switches between outputting the zero-crossing signal and the valid zero-crossing signal as valid phase error information based on a frame reception signal input from a frame detection unit. A clock generation unit uses the valid phase error information in generating a symbol clock.
