  • Publication number: 20080225980
    Abstract: To suppress a noise component caused in conversion of digital data into an ASK modulated signal to be transmitted over a network. Based on a clock CL generated by a clock generation circuit (10), an amplifier (12) produces a clock CL1 having a relatively small amplitude, and an amplifier (14) produces a clock CL2 having a relatively large amplitude. A switching control circuit (20) generates control signals SW relative to switch circuits (16), (18) based on digital data D. The switch circuits (16), (18) selectively send either the clock CL1 or CL2 to an LPF (22) according to the signals SW. The LPF (22) receives a signal which is obtained by connecting rectangular waves having different amplitudes. The LPF (22) smoothes the received signal to thereby produce an ASK modulated signal which is a succession of sinusoidal waveforms.

  • Publication number: 20070195869
    Abstract: When a transmitter device connected to a network system outputs a digital signal subjected to bi-phase modulation, a complicated detection circuit for detecting a digital signal is required on the receiver side. Therefore, in an interface device (4) which intervenes between the transmitter device and a communication path (6), transmission data S subjected to bi-phase modulation is converted into a transmission signal subjected to amplitude shift modulation, and the resultant transmission signal is output to the communication path (6). The interface device (4) converts the transmission data S into an NRZ modulated digital signal in the modulation method conversion circuit (12). The amplitude modulation circuit (14) modulates the amplitudes of a carrier wave according to the NRZ signal to thereby generate a transmission signal. In the interface device (4) on the receiver side, a detection circuit (22) detects a transmission signal to extract an NRZ modulated digital signal.
