Abstract: A transmitter modulates for each symbol period a plurality of carriers that include a carrier group that is consisted of a plurality of prescribed carriers, and repeatedly transmits control information in cycles by using the carrier group. The transmitter transmits multiple-bit binary data of the control information in each symbol period, thereby transmitting the control information once in each of the cycles that includes at least one symbol period. The transmitter controls the transmission unit to switch, within the carrier group, for each of the cycles, carriers of bits of the control information, according to a prescribed rule.

Abstract: SP signals to be transmitted from a first transmitting antenna 11 are arranged in the same pattern as SP signals to be transmitted from a second transmitting antenna 12. The SP signals to be transmitted from the second transmitting antenna 12 in one symbol are generated, such that the polarity of the SP signals are alternately inverted and non-inverted with respect to the SP signals to be transmitted from the first transmitting antenna 11 in the same symbol. Thus, in the direction that the symbol number is incremented by 1 and the carrier number is incremented by 3, the polarity of SP signals transmitted from the second transmitting antenna 12 are all inverted or non-inverted with respect to the polarity of corresponding SP signals transmitted from the first transmitting antenna 11.

Abstract: A control device for a power transmitting device for four-wheel drive hybrid-vehicle is provided capable of preventing the occurrence of negative torque resulting from power generation control of a second electric motor MG2. Drive-force control means 72 executes a control such that rear-wheel output torque Tpr of rear wheels 40 falls in a positive torque when first and second electric motors MG1 and MG2 execute power generation controls, thereby preventing torques of front and rear wheels 34 and 40 from orienting in different directions. Accordingly, the front and rear wheels 34 and 40 have torques oriented in the same direction, thereby favorably preventing discomfort feeling during a vehicle running.

Abstract: A synchronization section 101 specifies a position of a guard interval correlation's center of gravity based on a guard interval correlation value, and calculates a carrier-direction shift amount Fshift. An equalization section 102 shifts the passband of a carrier interpolation filter of a carrier interpolation section 111 by the carrier-direction shift amount Fshift calculated by the synchronization section 101. This shift processing causes the delay profile to be kept in the center of the passband of the carrier interpolation filter, for any FFT window position. This enables transmission path estimation without limiting a range of an FFT window position even if the passband of the carrier interpolation filter is narrower than a guard interval of an OFDM signal.

Abstract: An OFDM signal receiver reduces frequency response estimation error, and reduces the circuit scale needed for a hardware implementation and the number of operations performed in a software implementation. A first Fourier transform circuit converts an OFDM signal to the frequency domain by a Fourier transform. A first divider divides the pilot signal contained in the frequency domain OFDM signal by a specified pilot signal. A zero insertion means then inserts zero signals in the first divider output. A window function multiplying means multiplies the zero insertion means output by a window function, and an inverse Fourier transform means applies an inverse Fourier transform to the multiplier output. A coring means then cores the inverse Fourier transform output, and truncation means truncates the coring means output at a specified data length. A second Fourier transform circuit applies another Fourier transform to the truncated result.
