  • Patent number: 6791955
    Abstract: The code division multiplex transmission system according to the present invention produces data for transmission by, time-division multiplexing the signals for synchronizing spread code prepared for an easy synchronization of spread code on the receiving side and the information related to the structure or synchronization of each of a plurality of transmission data streams such as parameters information about the coding rate of the convolution code and interleaving size for each transmission data stream, generating spread frequency modulated signals of the above time-division multiplexed signals by a spread frequency modulation using a spread code known to the receiving side, and code-division multiplexing the resulting spread frequency modulated signals over the spread frequency modulated signals of the plurality of transmission data streams.

  • Patent number: 5936577
    Abstract: Features of an adaptive antenna are a controlling portion 11 as a method for detecting the communication amount of each beam and an antenna controlling portion 7 as a controlling method for controlling the pattern of each beam corresponding to information of the detected communication amount. In particular, an exciting weight of each antenna element is controlled corresponding to the detected communication amount and thereby the pattern of each beam is controlled. Thus, the communication amounts of individual beams can be flexibly well-balanced. Consequently, the communication capacity of the base station can be effectively used.
