Modulator, demodulator, and transmission system for use in OFDM transmission

An input of an OFDM signal containing known pilot carriers among given subcarriers is separated into subcarriers through Fourier transform in a fast Fourier transform unit. A data carrier phase error estimating unit obtains an amount of phase correction of each subcarrier on the basis of the pilot carriers in the separated subcarriers. A data carrier phase correcting unit corrects the phase of the separated subcarrier signal on the basis of the amount of phase correction. Thus, the phase errors of the subcarriers can be corrected and the OFDM symbols can be demodulated even if a frequency error and a timing error are occurring between the transmitter and receiver.

OFDM signal transmission scheme, and OFDM signal transmitter/receiver

In an OFDM transmission scheme, in order to compensate any frequency response variations time wise resulted from any distortion in a transmission path, out-of-synchronization with passage of time, frequency drift, and phase shift, and to improve a demodulation characteristic, a PS detector in a receiver receiving an OFDM signal detects a pilot symbol. A PS1 TPFR calculator calculates a frequency response of the transmission path for a first pilot symbol, while a PS2 TPFR calculators calculates a frequency response of the transmission path for a second pilot symbol for a second pilot symbol. Thereafter, a compensation vector calculator calculates compensation vectors from the frequency responses of the transmission path for both of the first and second pilot symbols by linear approximation. A frequency response compensatory compensates the frequency response variation of subcarriers in a data symbol based on the calculated compensation vectors.

Optical Transmitter and Optical OFDM Communication System

Distortion of a reception signal which is attributable to interference between subcarriers during photoelectric conversion is reduced in an optical OFDM communication system without broadening the signal band. A transmission signal processing unit (100) in a transmitter is provided with a distortion generating circuit (distortion generating unit) (170). A subcarrier signal is utilized as an input signal for the circuit. The distortion generating circuit (170) generates a baseband OFDM signal by means of inverse FFT calculation using the input signal, computes the square of the absolute value of the signal, and restores the subcarrier signal by mean of FFT calculation. Because interference between subcarriers is also included in the signal, the distortion element generated by the interference between the subcarriers can be extracted when the difference from the input signal is found. The signal obtained by subtracting the distortion element from the subcarrier signal, which has been modulated using the original data to be communicated, is used as the transmission signal. The transmission signal is photoelectrically converted with a receiver. The interference between subcarriers generated at this time is smaller than when the aforementioned processing is not performed.

Optical OFDM transmission with improved efficiency

A method of transmitting digital information over a dispersive optical channel includes encoding the digital information into a series of data blocks, wherein each block comprises a plurality of substantially orthogonal frequency domain subcarriers. Each data block is then divided into at least two frequency bands, each band comprising a plurality of contiguous subcarriers. A frequency / time transformation is then performed, in order to form a corresponding plurality of transformed bands, each transformed band comprising a sequence of time domain data samples. A time delay is applied to at least one of the transformed bands relative to at least one other of the transformed bands. The bands are then combined to produce an electrical signal waveform embodying the digital information. Finally, an optical source is modulated using the electrical signal waveform, to produce a corresponding optical signal for transmission over the dispersive optical channel. The invention enables a reduction in the duration of guard intervals that may need to be inserted into the transmitted data blocks, in order to avoid received signal degradation due to inter-symbol interference caused by dispersion in the optical channel. Transmission overheads may thereby be reduced, resulting in an improvement in transmission efficiency.

OFDM transmission device and OFDM transmission method

The time required for switch the channel can be remarkably curtailed. When broadcasting signals through a plurality of information channels with an OFDM system, the plurality of information channels are multiplexed in the sense of frequency and collectively subjected to IFFT modulation for connected transmission instead of subjecting the plurality of information channels independently to OFDM modulation for transmission. With this arrangement, the efficiency of exploitation of frequencies is improved. According to the invention, the OFDM frames are synchronized for each information channel for the purpose of connected transmission. Then, the OFDM receiver can switch the information channel for signal reception, maintaining the frame synchronizing signals.
