Abstract: A receiver device for a packet communication system receives a packet signal appended at its head with a known number (N) of repetition signals. A correlation value of a received signal is outputted from a normalizing correlator and compared with a threshold value in a comparator. The output of the comparator is inputted to a synchronization signal generating circuit, which includes M (?N?1) delay elements connected in series and an AND circuit for taking the logical product of the outputs of the delay elements. When the output of the comparator is high-level and the outputs of the M delay elements 431 are also all high-level, a synchronization signal at symbol timing is outputted from the AND circuit.

Abstract: A vehicle-vehicle communication system includes an in-vehicle wire LAN established in a vehicle. The in-vehicle wire LAN includes a plurality of devices connected by optical fiber links. A terminal for radio vehicle-vehicle communication is connected to the in-vehicle wire LAN by the optical fiber link. The terminal receives an optical digital signal in a predetermined format from the in-vehicle wire LAN. The terminal includes a light controlled oscillator and applies the received optical signal to the light controlled oscillator. The light controlled oscillator outputs a transmission signal of a frequency shifted from a predetermined frequency according to the intensity of the applied optical signal. Thus the terminal generates the transmission signal using FSK-modulation technique without converting the format of the optical signal into another format. The transmission signal is transmitted to a device in another vehicle via radio waves.

Abstract: A diversity OFDM communication is performed between a base terminal and a mobile terminal, both having a horizontal polarization antenna and a vertical polarization antenna forming two transmission channels. In the base terminal, data signals to be transmitted are divided into two channels to transmit the data signals through either one of the channels having a higher transmission performance for each sub-carrier. Common pilot signals are transmitted through both channels. The data signals received by the mobile terminal are phase-adjusted using the common pilot signals. The phase-adjusted data signals in both channels are synthesized and then demodulated.

Abstract: Communication between a stationary terminal such as an on-road terminal and a mobile terminal mounted on an automotive vehicle is performed under an OFDM system. Before transmitting data signals from the mobile terminal to the stationary terminal, a control signal indicating the number of sub-carries used in the data transmission is sent to the stationary terminal. The number of sub-carriers is decreased in accordance with increase of the moving speed to avoid deterioration in communication quality due to the moving speed increase. A modification formula and/or an error-correction-code coding rate used in the data transmission may be varied according to the moving speed in place of or together with varying the number of sub-carriers.

Abstract: A Micro-cell is formed to include a plurality of spot-cells. Communication is executed between a micro-cell base station and a mobile terminal in the micro-cell, and between a spot-cell base station and the mobile terminal in the spot cell. The micro-cell base station and spot-cell base stations are connected to an integrated base station. A signal transmitted to the micro-cell base station from the mobile terminal is transferred to the integrated base station and information transmitted to the mobile terminal is transferred to the micro-cell base station and/or spot-cell base station from the integrated base station. The respective integrated base stations are connected to a server via a dedicated backbone to enable a large-capacity transmission.

Abstract: After the OFDM signal for MMAC is received by a receiving unit , an FFT processing unit converts such OFDM signal into the signal Y(l, k) in the frequency axis direction. A data extracting unit extracts a data signal Y(l, kd) and a pilot extracting unit extracts a pilot signal Y(l, kp). A complex dividing unit divides the extracted pilot signal with a pilot signal X(l, kp) having the identical amplitude and phase as that in the transmitting side. An interpolating unit performs a linear interpolation by using a transmission path response H(l, kp) of the pilot signal in order to calculate the transmission path estimation value H?(l, k) of the data signal. A complex dividing unit divides the extracted data signal with the transmission path estimation value of the data signal in order to calculate the data signal Y?(l, kd) that is compensated in the amplitude and phase.

Abstract: Positioned on a block is a filter for reflecting light ?1 and transmitting another light ?2. First and second light guides are positioned on the block in an aligned relation to each other so that their angled ends oppose to each other. An adhesive is applied to the angled ends of the light guides for holding a filter. Light ?2 is introduced in the light guides for adjusting the position of the light guides so that a predetermined amount of light is discharged from the light guide. A light receiver is positioned on the block through the adhesive and then light is introduced in the light guide for adjusting the position of the light receiver relative so that a predetermined amount of light is received by the light receiver. In particular, the adhesive has the same refractive index as the light guides.

Abstract: The present invention provides a one-core bidirectional optical transmitting/receiving module for wavelength multiplexing, which does not require optical waveguide fabricated with high precision and which has superb high frequency characteristics and has very low optical and electrical crosstalks and available at low cost. At the middle of an optical fiber 1 buried in a glass substrate 3, a light irradiating portion is provided, which has a wavelength selection filter 2 placed obliquely to the optical fiber. The light irradiating portion is fixed immediately above a backside entrance type photodetection element 4 mounted on a ceramic substrate 6 by flip-clip bonding, and only optical signals with specific wavelength are received. An optical fiber extra portion 7 between a photodetection unit and a light emitting unit has sufficient length, and an end of the optical fiber is optically coupled with the light emitting element.
