BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to transmitting and receiving systems.
Recently, a spectrum diffusion system in which the transmitting spectrum is
diffused and a wide frequency band is commonly used is attracting
attention.
In such a spectrum diffusion system, a kind of code (this code is referred
to as a pseudo noise code) is given into the spectrum and modulation is
performed and only the signal having the code is demodulated independently
of the other signals. By changing the code, a large number of
communication channels can be set. On the other hand, as compared with
conventional other communication systems, the spread spectrum system has
advantages such that it is strong against noise or interference and a
message screening from eavesdroppers or low density power spectrum for
signal hidding is obtained and the like; therefore, various uses of this
technique are being examined.
A spectrum direct spread spectrum system is known as one of the foregoing
systems. According to the system, the receiver side needs to obtain
synchronization with the pseudo noise code to perform modulation on the
transmitter side. In general, a process such as delay lock tracking, taw
dither tracking, or the like is performed. (For example, refer to "Spread
Spectrum System", R. C. Dixon, John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1976.)
Therefore, in the receiver side, the construction becomes complicated and
it takes time to preliminarily obtain synchronization.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIGS. 1 to 3 are block connection diagrams of main sections of transmitters
in the first to third embodiments of the present invention; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are block connection diagrams of main sections of receivers
in the first to third embodiments of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
An embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinbelow with
reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block connection diagram of the main section of a transmitter
in the first embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1
denotes a pseudo noise code generator to generate a pseudo noise code
P(t); 2 is a mixer to mix data D(t) to be transmitted and the output P(t)
of the generator 1; 3 an oscillator to generate a reference frequency
signal; 4 a mixer to frequency convert a base band output of the mixer 2
by an output of the oscillator 3; 5 a 90.degree. phase shifter to shift
the phase of the reference frequency signal generated from the oscillator
3 by 90.degree.; 6 a mixer to frequency convert the output of the
generator 1 by an output of the phase shifter 5; 7 an adder to add outputs
of the mixers 4 and 6; and 8 a band pass filter for allowing only the
necessary frequency band in an output of the adder 7 to pass. It is
assumed that each of the mixers 2, 4, and 6 performs double-phase
modulation as a double balance mixer.
The operation of the FIG. 1 transmitted will now be described.
First, the data D(t) to be transmitted is mixed by the mixer 2 with the
pseudo noise code P(t) which is generated from the generator 1. The
modulation signal of the mixer 2 is further supplied to the mixer 4 and
frequency converted by the reference frequency signal which is generated
from the oscillator 3. For example, assuming that the reference frequency
signal of the oscillator 3 is set to cos .omega.t (where, .omega. is an
angular frequency which lies within a range from tens of MHz to hundreds
of MHz), an output of the mixer 4 becomes P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.cos
.omega.t.
(Where, P(t) is the pseudo noise code of the generator 1 and P(t)=+1 or -1.
D(t) is the data to be transmitted and D(t)=+1 or -1.)
On the other hand, the reference frequency signal cos .omega.t of the
oscillator 3 is also sent to the 90.degree. phase shifter 5 and is phase
converted to -sin .omega.t. Thereafter, the pseudo noise code transmitted
from the generator 1 is frequency converted by the mixer 6 and the signal
of -P(t).multidot.sin .omega.t is outputted.
Next, the adder 7 adds the outputs of the mixers 4 and 6 and sends the
signal of
P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.cos .omega.t-P(t).multidot.sin .omega.t (1)
to the band pass filter 8.
The band pass filter 8 eliminates high frequency components, a DC
component, noise, or the like which were caused in the mixers 2, 4, and 6
and transmits the resultant signal as the transmission signal to a
receiver side through an antenna or a signal line.
As described above, in the transmitter of the embodiment, after the data to
be transmitted was modulated by the pseudo noise code P(t) as the output
of the pseudo noise code generator 1, it is frequency converted by the
reference frequency by the oscillator 3 and 90.degree. phase shifter 5.
The cosine component including the pseudo noise code and the data and the
sine component having only the pseudo noise code can be synthesized and
transmitted.
In the embodiment, the reference frequency signal of the oscillator 3 has
been transmitted to the mixer 4 and through the 90.degree. phase shifter 5
to the mixer 6, respectively. However, the 90.degree. phase shifter 5 may
be also arranged between the oscillator 3 and the mixer 4 instead of the
position between the oscillator 3 and the mixer 6.
A second embodiment of the transmitter of the invention will now be
described hereinbelow.
FIG. 2 is a block connection diagram of a main section of the transmitting
system in the second embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 2, reference
numeral 21 denotes a pseudo noise code generator to generate the pseudo
noise code P(t); 22 is an oscillator to generate a reference frequency
signal; 23 a mixer to multiply the pseudo noise code P(t) which is
generated from the generator 21 with the reference frequency signal which
is generated from the oscillator 22; 24 a mixer to multiply an output of
the mixer 23 with the data D(t) to be transmitted; 25 a 90.degree. phase
shifter to shift the phase of the reference frequency signal generated
from the oscillator 22 by 90.degree.; 26 a mixer to multiply the output of
the generator 21 with an output of the phase shifter 25; 27 an adder to
add outputs of the mixers 24 and 26; and 28 a band pass filter for
allowing only the necessary frequency band in an output of the adder 27 to
pass. It is assumed that each of the mixers 23, 24, and 26 performs the
double-phase modulation as a double balance mixer.
The operation of the FIG. 2 embodiment will now be described.
The pseudo noise code P(t) which is generated from the generator 21 and the
reference frequency signal which is generated from the oscillator 22 are
multiplied by the mixer 23. The output of the mixer 23 is further
multiplied by the mixer 24 with the data D(t) to be transmitted. For
example, assuming that the reference frequency signal of the oscillator 22
is cos .omega.t (where, t is a time and .omega. is the angular frequency
which lies within a range from tens of MHz to hundreds of MHz), the output
of the mixer 23 becomes P(t) cos .omega.t and the output of the mixer 24
becomes P(t).multidot.D(t) cos .omega.t.
(Where, P(t) is the pseudo noise code of the generator 1 and P(t)=+1 or -1.
On the other hand, D(t) is the data to be transmitted and D(t)=+1 or -1.)
On the other hand, the reference frequency signal cos .omega.t of the
oscillator 22 is also sent to the 90.degree. phase shifter 25 and phase
converted into -sin .omega.t. Thereafter, it is multiplied with the pseudo
noise code generated from the generator 21 by the mixer 26 and the signal
of -P(t).multidot.sin .omega.t is outputted.
Next, the adder 27 adds the outputs of the mixers 24 and 26 and transmits
the signal of
P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.cos .omega.-P(t).multidot.sin .omega.t (1)
to the band pass filter 28.
The band pass filter 28 eliminates high frequency components, a DC
component, noise, or the like which were caused in the mixers 23, 24, and
26 and transmits the resultant signal as the transmission signal to the
receiver side through an antenna or a signal line.
As described above, in the transmitter of this embodiment, the cosine
component including the pseudo noise code P(t) generated from the pseudo
noise code generator 21 and the data D(t) to be transmitted and the sine
component having only the same pseudo noise code can be synthesized and
transmitted.
The third embodiment of the invention will be described hereinbelow with
reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 is a block connection diagram of a main section of a transmitter in
the third embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 31
denotes an oscillator to generate a reference frequency signal; 32 is a
90.degree. phase shifter to shift the phase of the reference frequency
signal generated from the oscillator 31 by 90.degree.; 32 a mixer to
frequency convert the data to be transmitted by an output of the
oscillator 31; 34 a pseudo noise code generator to generate a pseudo noise
code; 35 a mixer to modulate an output of the mixer 33 by the pseudo noise
code as the output of the generator 34; 36 a mixer to frequency convert
the output of the generator 34 by an output of the 90.degree. phase
shifter 32; 37 an adder to add outputs of the mixers 35 and 36; and 38 a
band pass filter for allowing only the necessary frequency band in an
output of the adder 37 to pass. It is assumed that each of the mixers 33,
35, and 36 performs the double-phase modulation as a double balance mixer.
The operation of the FIG. 3 embodiment will now be described.
First, the data D(t) to be transmitted is double-phase modulated by the
mixer 33 by the reference frequency signal which is generated from the
oscillator 31 and thereafter, it is modulated by the mixer 35 by the
pseudo noise code P(t) which is generated from the generator 34. For
example, assuming that the reference frequency signal of the oscillator 31
is cos .omega.t (where, .omega. is the angular frequency which lies within
a range from tens a MHz to hundreds of MHz), the output of the mixer 35
becomes P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.cos .omega.t.
(Where, P(t) is the pseudo noise code of the pseudo noise code generator 34
and P(t)=+1 or -1. On the other hand, D(t) is the data to be transmitted
and D(t)=+1 or -1.)
On the other hand, the reference frequency signal cos .omega.t of the
oscillator 31 is also transmitted to the 90.degree. phase shifter and
phase converted into -sin .omega.t. Thereafter, it is frequency converted
by the mixer 36 by the false noise code P(t) which is generated from the
generator 34, so that the signal of -P(t).multidot.sin .omega. is
outputted.
Next, the adder 37 adds the outputs of the mixers 35 and 36 and transmits
the signal of
P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.cos .omega.-P(t).multidot.sin .omega.t (1)
to the band pass filter 38.
The band pass filter 38 eliminates high frequency components, a DC
component, noise, or the like which were caused by the mixers 33, 35, and
36 and transmits the resultant signal as the transmission signal to the
receiver side through an antenna or a signal line.
As described above, in the transmitter of this embodiment, after the data
to be transmitted was frequency converted by the reference frequency which
is generated from the oscillator 31, it is modulated by the pseudo noise
code as the output of the pseudo noise code generator 34. The cosine
component including the pseudo noise code and the data to be transmitted
and the sine component having only the pseudo noise code are synthesized
and transmitted.
In this embodiment, the reference frequency signal of the oscillator 31 has
been transmitted to the mixer 33 and through the 90.degree. phase shifter
32 to the mixer 36. However, the 90.degree. phase shifter 32 may be also
arranged between the oscillator 31 and the mixer 33 instead of the
position between the oscillator 31 and the mixer 36.
A constitution of a receiver in the first embodiment of the present
invention will now be described.
FIG. 4A shows a block connection diagram of a main section of the receiver
in the first embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 4A, reference numeral 41
denotes a 90.degree. phase shifter to shift the phase of the reception
signal by 90.degree.; 42 is mixer to multiply the reception signal with an
output of the 90.degree. phase shifter 41; and 43 a band pass filter for
allowing only the component including the transmission data in an output
of the mixer 42 to pass.
The operation of the FIG. 4A receiver will now be described.
First, the signal of the equation (1) which was transmitted from each of
the transmitters shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is transmitted as a reception
signal to the 90.degree. phase shifter 41 and phase converted to the
following equation (2).
-P(t).multidot.D(t).multidot.sin .omega.t-P(t).multidot.cos .omega.t (2)
Next, the mixer 42 multiplies the equations (1) and (2), so that the output
of the mixer 42 becomes
-P(t).sup.2 .multidot.D(t).sup.2 .multidot.sin .omega.t.multidot.cos
.omega.t+P(t).sup.2 .multidot.sin .omega.t cos .omega.t+P(t).sup.2
.multidot.D(t).multidot.sin.sup.2 .omega.t-P(t).sup.2
.multidot.D(t).multidot.cos.sup.2 .omega.t (3)
Since P(t)=+1 and D(t)=+1, P(t).sup.2 =D(t).sup.2 =1, so that the equation
(2) becomes
-D(t) (cos.sup.2 .omega.t-sin.sup.2 .omega.t)=-D(t) cos 2.omega.t (4)
This output is sent to the band pass filter 43. The band pass filter 43
eliminates the DC component or high frequency component which is caused
due to the non-linearity of the mixer 42 and allows only -D(t) cos
2.omega.t including the transmission data D(t) to pass. -D(t).multidot.cos
2.omega.t is the signal which was double-phase modulated by the
transmission data D(t) at the frequency of 2.omega./2.pi. and does not
include the pseudo noise code P(t) which was used for the spectrum spread.
Therefore, to demodulate the transmission data D(t) from the equation (4),
it can be easily demodulated by the well-known means (for example, costas
loop demodulation, bit delay detection, or the like) for demodulating the
double-phase modulated signal. The transmission data D(t) which was
modulated by the transmitters in FIGS. 1 to 3 is demodulated by the
receiver of FIG. 4A as explained above.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4A, the explanation has been made on the
assumption that the transmission signal from each of the band pass filters
8, 28, and 38 in FIGS. 1 to 3 is directly received by the receiving system
of FIG. 4A. However, it is also possible to constitute in a manner such
that only the necessary band is received through a filter as necessary and
amplified by a preamplifier and thereafter, it is converted into the
intermediate frequency by a local oscillator and amplified by an
intermediate amplifier and this amplified signal is used as the reception
signal. In this case, the angular frequency .omega. shown in the equations
(2), (3), and (4) is converted into the intermediate frequency .omega.'.
However, the signal which is obtained from the band pass filter 43 is FIG.
4A is also equal to -D(t) cos -2.omega.t, so that no problem occurs.
On the other hand, when a mixer 42 has the linear characteristic, the band
pass filter 43 can be also omitted.
A receiver in a second embodiment of the invention will now be explained.
FIG. 4B shows a block connection diagram of a main section of the receiver
in the second embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 4B, reference numeral
42 denotes the mixer to multiply reception signals which are transmitted
from both lines 40a and 40b; and 43 indicates the band pass filter for
allowing only the component including the transmission data in an output
of the mixer 42 to pass.
The operation of the FIG. 4B receiver will now be described hereinbelow.
First, the signal of the equation (1) transmitted from each of the
transmitters shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is squared by the mixer 42 and the
following output is obtained.
P(t).sup.2 .multidot.D(t).sup.2 cos.sup.2 .omega.t+P(t).sup.2 sin.sup.2
.omega.t-2P(t).sup.2 .multidot.D(t).multidot.sin .omega.t.multidot.cos
.omega.t (5)
where, P(t)=.+-.1 and D(t)=.+-.1. Therefore, P(t).sup.2pl =D(t).sup.2 =1.
From the equation (5), the output of
1-D(t) sin 2.omega.t (6)
is transmitted to the band pass filter 43.
The band pass filter 43 allows only
-D(t) sin 2.omega.t (7)
in the equation (6) to pass. This signal is the signal which was
double-phase modulated by the transmission data D(t) by the center
frequency 2.omega./2.pi. and does not include the pseudo noise code P(t)
which was used for the spread of spectrum. Since the equation (7)
indicates the double-phase modulation signal, in order to demodulate the
transmission data D(t) from this equation, it can be easily demodulated by
well-known means (for example, costas loop demodulation, bit delay
detection, or the like) for demodulating the double-phase modulated
signal. Therefore, the transmission data D(t) which was modulated by each
of the transmitters of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is demodulated by the receiving
system of FIG. 4B.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4B, the explanation has been made on the
assumption that the signal obtained from each of the band pass filters 8,
28, and 38 in FIGS. 1 to 3 is directly received by the receiver of FIG.
4B. However, it is also possible to constitute in a manner such that only
the necessary band is received through the filter as necessary and
amplified by a preamplifier and thereafter, it is converted into the
intermediate frequency by a local oscillator and amplified by an
intermediate amplifier, and this amplified signal is used as the reception
signal. In this case, the angular frequency .omega. shown in the equations
(5), (6), and (7) is converted into the intermediate frequency .omega.'.
However, since the signal which is obtained from the band pass filter 43
in FIG. 4B is also equal to -D(t) sin 2.omega.t, no problem occurs. On the
other hand, although the reception signal has been squared by the mixer
42, this squaring process can be also performed by other arithmetic
operating circuit.
A constitution of a receiver in the third embodiment of the invention will
now be explained.
FIG. 5 shows a block connection diagram of a main section of the receiver
in the third embodiment of the invention.
In FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 denotes a voltage controlled oscillator to
generate a frequency which is almost equal to the frequency which is
generated by the oscillator 3 or 22 in the transmitter; 52 is a mixer to
multiply the reception signal with an output of the oscillator 51; 53 a
90.degree. phase shifter to shift the phase of the output of the
oscillator 51 by 90.degree.; 54 a mixer to multiply the reception signal
with an output of the 90.degree. phase shifter 53; 55 a low pass filter
for allowing only the low frequency component in an output of the mixer 52
to pass; 56 a low pass filter for allowing the low frequency component in
an output of the mixer 54 to pass; 57 an adder to add outputs of the low
pass filters 55 and 56; 58 an adder to subtract the output of the low pass
filter 56 from the output of the low pass filter 55; 59 a mixer to
multiply an output of the adder 57 with an output of the adder 58; 60 a
mixer to multiply the output of the low pass filter 55 with the output of
the low pass filter 56; 61 a low pass filter for allowing only the low
frequency component in an output of the mixer 59 to pass; 62 a low pass
filter for allowing only the low frequency component in an output of the
mixer 60 to pass; 63 a mixer to multiply an output of the low pass filter
61 with an output of the low pass filter 62; 64 an amplifier to amplify an
output of the mixer 63; 65 a loop filter to generate a signal to control
the voltage controlled oscillator 51 by an output of the amplifier 64.
The operation of the FIG. 5 receiver will now be described hereinbelow.
First, the signal in the equation (1) which was transmitted from each of
the transmitters shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 is multiplexed with the signal
cos (.omega.t+.theta..sub.(t)) (8)
which is generated from the voltage controlled oscillator by the mixer 52.
In this case, the frequency of the output of the oscillator 51 assumes
.omega./2.pi. and the phase assumes .theta..sub.(t). An output R.sub.2 of
the mixer 52 becomes as shown by the equation (9) from the equations (1)
and (8).
##EQU1##
The high frequency component of the frequency 2.omega./2.pi. is eliminated
from the output R.sub.2 by the low pass filter 55, so that an output
R.sub.2'
##EQU2##
is obtained.
On the other hand, the phase of the output of the oscillator 51 is shifted
by 90.degree. by the 90.degree. phase shifter 53 and becomes
-sin (.omega.t+.theta..sub.(t)) (11)
This output is multiplied with the signal in the equation (1) by the mixer
54, so that the signal R.sub.3 is derived.
##EQU3##
The component of the frequency 2.omega./2.pi. is eliminated from the signal
R.sub.3 by the low pass filter 56 and the signal R.sub.3 ' is derived.
##EQU4##
The output R.sub.2 ' of the low pass filter 55 and the output R.sub.3 ' of
the low pass filter 56 are added by the adder 57, so that an output
R.sub.4 is obtained.
##EQU5##
On the other hand, the output R.sub.3 ' of the low pass filter 56 is
subtracted from the output R.sub.2 ' of the low pass filter 55 by the
adder 58, so that an output R.sub.5 is derived.
##EQU6##
The output R.sub.4 of the adder 57 and the output R.sub.5 of the adder 58
are multiplied by the mixer 59, so than an output R.sub.6 is derived as
follows by the equations (14) and (15).
##EQU7##
Since P(t)=.+-.1 and D(t)=.+-.1, then P(t).sup.2 =D(t).sup.2 =1 and the
equation (16) becomes
##EQU8##
Further, harmonic components and noise which were caused by the non-linear
effect of the mixer 59 are eliminated by the low pass filter 61, so that
an output R.sub.6 ' is obtained.
##EQU9##
Similarly, the output R.sub.2 ' of the low pass filter 55 and the output
R.sub.3 ' of the low pass filter 56 are multiplied by the mixer 60, so
that an output R.sub.7 is obtained. The output R.sub.7 is further
processed by the low pass filter 62, so that a signal R.sub.7 ' is
derived.
##EQU10##
The output R.sub.6 ' of the low pass filter 71 and the output R.sub.7 ' of
the low pass filter 62 are multiplied by the mixer 63, so that an output
R.sub.8 is obtained by the equations (18) and (19). Since D(t).sup.2 =1,
the equation (20) becomes as follows.
##EQU11##
The output R.sub.8 of the mixer 63 is amplified by the amplifier 64 and the
frequency band is limited by the loop filter 65 as necessary. The
resultant signal is supplied to the voltage controlled oscillator 51,
thereby controlling the oscillator 51 so that .theta..sub.(t) in the
equation (21) becomes
.theta..sub.(t) =0 (22)
By forming a loop with the foregoing constitution, the output R.sub.7 ' of
the low pass filter 62 becomes as follows by the equations (19) and (22).
##EQU12##
This is the same as the transmission data. Namely, the transmission data
D(t) which was modulated by each of the transmitters in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3
is demodulated by the receiver of FIG. 5.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the explanation has been made on the
assumption that the signal from each of the band pass filters 8 and 28 in
FIGS. 1 and 2 is directly received by the receiver of FIG. 5. However, it
is also possible to constitute in a manner such that only the necessary
band is received through a filter as necessary and amplified by a
preamplifier and thereafter, it is converted into an intermediate
frequency by a local oscillator and amplified by an intermediate
amplifier, and this amplified signal is used as the reception signal. In
this case, although the angular frequen | | |
