Description
- The present invention relates to a phase modulation multiplexing transmission unit for multiplexing and transmitting a phase modulation signal in a spectrum spread (referred to as, SS hereinafter) transmission system.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a construction of a conventional phase modulation multiplexing transmission unit.
- The prior art shown in FIG. 5 comprises a
signal division unit 1 for dividing a digital input signal into two division signals I1(n) and I2(n) for outputting and spreadcode generators multiplication units spread code generators - Additionally this prior art comprises an
adder 5 for outputting a synthetic signal Sc(n) obtained by summing the multiplication signals Sa and Sb output from themultiplication units adder 5, a transmission amplifier 7 for amplifying and outputting the phase modulation signal output from the modulator 6 and anantenna 8 through which the amplified phase modulation signal output from the transmission amplifier 7 is transmitted. - The operation of this prior art is described hereinafter.
- The
signal division unit 1 divides a digital input signal into two division signals I1(n) and I2(n), each of which is input to themultiplication units spread code generators multiplication units multiplication unit 3 a multiplies the division signal I1(n) input from thesignal division unit 1 by the spread code C1(n) output from thespread code generator 2 a. The resultant multiplication signal Sa is obtained from the following equation (1). - Sa=I1(n)*C1(n) (1)
- The
multiplication unit 3 b multiplies the division signal I2(n) input from thesignal division unit 1 by the spread code C2(n) output from thespread code generator 2 b. The resultant multiplication signal Sb is obtained from the following equation (2). - Sb=I2(n)*C2(n) (2)
- The
adder 5 sums the multiplication signals Sa and Sb output from themultiplication units - Sc(n)−Sa−Sb=I 1(n)*S 1(n)−I 2(n)*S 2(n) (3)
- The modulator6 two-phase modulates (BPSK) the synthetic signal Sc(n), which is amplified by the transmission amplifier 7 and then transmitted through the
antenna 8. The spread codes C1(n) and C2(n) respectively generated by thespread code generators - FIG. 6 shows coordinates of the synthetic signal Sc(n) output from the
adder 5. - As FIG. 6 shows, the multiplication signals Sa and Sb respectively output from the
multiplication units - FIG. 7 is a graphical representation of an input/output characteristic of the transmission amplifier7.
- Referring to FIG. 7, assuming that the number of multiplexing is 2 (dual), the peak level of the BPSK input/output signal input to the transmission amplifier7 becomes two times higher than that before multiplexing owing to a high ratio of the average power to the peak power (peak factor). In order to amplify the modulation signal output from the modulator 6 through the transmission amplifier 7 and to transmit the resultant amplified phase modulation signal at a low bias, a broad linear area is required.
- Prior arts disclosed by a publication of JP-A-360434/1992 titled “Spectrum spread transmission unit and spectrum spread reception unit” and a publication of JP-A-30079/1993 titled “Spectrum spread modulation unit” have been well known as arts related to the above-described device.
- In the publication of JP-A-360434/1992, each bit of parallel data is spread based on a plurality of spread codes and parallel transmitted for spectrum spread transmission at a high rate.
- In the publication of JP-A-30079/1993, parallel data converted from serial data are delayed for shifting codes through spread modulation with n delay PN codes which have been phase corrected. As a result, efficient high rate data transmission is realized by preventing degradation in the spectrum spread communication characteristic.
- Those conventional phase modulation multiplexing transmission units allow for high rate data transmission. However they need substantially a broad area where the transmission amplifier7 amplifies the modulation signal output from the modulator 6 at a low bias for transmission. As a result, a large-sized transmission amplifier is necessary, resulting in increasing the cost.
- It is an object of the present invention to solve the aforementioned problem of those prior arts.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a phase modulation multiplexing transmission unit reducing the size of a transmission amplifier for executing amplification at a low bias in relatively a narrow linear area due to decreased peak of the multiplexing signal during multiplexing and high-rate data transmission. Reducing the transmission amplifier size, therefore leads to cost reduction.
- The present invention is achieved by a phase modulation multiplexing transmission unit comprising: multiplication means for outputting a plurality of multiplication signals derived from multiplying a plurality of division signals obtained by dividing a digital input signal by a plurality of spread code signals; phase shifting means for turning a phase so that each of the plurality of multiplication signals has a phase difference; addition means for outputting a multiplexing signal by summing the plurality of multiplication signals each having a phase difference; and modulation means for modulating the multiplexing signal for outputting.
- Furthermore, the present invention is achieved by a phase modulation multiplexing method comprising steps of: generating a plurality of multiplication signals by multiplying a plurality of division signals obtained by dividing a digital input signal by a plurality of spread code signals; turning a phase so that each of the plurality of multiplication signals has a phase difference; generating a multiplexing signal by summing a plurality of multiplication signals each having a phase difference; and modulating the multiplexing signal.
- In the phase modulation multiplexing transmission unit of the present invention, multiplexing (addition) is executed by shifting the phase of the phase modulation signal. As a result, the ratio of the average power to the peak power (peak factor) of the multiplexed signal for multiplexing and high rate data transmission is decreased. That is, the decreased multiplexed signal peak requires only a narrow linear area where the transmission amplifier amplifies the modulation signal for outputting at a low bias, thus reducing the size of the transmission amplifier.
