Abstract:
An N-channel FDM signal is converted into complex signals of baseband frequencies (1-6) spaced at intervals equal to frequency Δf. The complex baseband signals are converted first into digital samples (7-9)having a frequency NΔf and then into N parallel digital signals (11). A plurality of first FIR subfilters (17-1 through 17-N) respectively perform filtering on each of the parallel digital signals at frequency Δf to produce a first series of filtered digital signals from each of the first FIR subfilters, and (m - 1) groups of second FIR subfilters respectively perform filtering on each of the parallel digital signals at frequency Δf to produce a second series of filtered digital samples from each of the second FIR subfilters at timing displaced with respect to the first series by a/mΔf, where is an integer ranging from unity to (m - 1) and m is an integer equal to or greater than 2. Outputs of the first FIR subfilters are combined with outputs of the second FIR subfilters to produce N summation outputs at frequency mΔf. An N-point Fast Fourier Transform processor (14) performs fast Fourier transform on the N summation outputs at frequency mΔf to derive digital channels. Because of the oversampling at frequency mΔf, each of the digital channels has a frequency response which can be made flat over the bandwidth Δf.
Abstract:
A spreading code setting circuit generates N vectors, as spreading codes, which are +1 or -1 polarity and are unique to users. A multiplier multiplies the nth data and the nth spreading code corresponding thereto for the spread modulation. An FDM combining circuit modulates N pieces of data according to the FDM method. A FDM separating circuit demodulates received signals according to the FDM method. An inverse spreading code setting circuit generates N vectors, as inverse spreading codes, which are +1 or -1 polarity and are unique to users at the transmission side. A multiplier multiplies the nth data and the nth inverse spreading code corresponding thereto for inverse spread modulation.

Abstract:
For use in a satellite communication system which carries out communication through a satellite by the use of an up-link frequency band and a down-link frequency band, each of the up-link and the down-link frequency bands has a plurality of frequency subbands spaced apart from one another with frequency gaps interposed between the frequency subbands. An earth station comprises a modulating arrangement (47) for modulating a selected one of the frequency subbands of the up-link frequency band by a first input signal into a subband transmission signal, a first transmitting arrangement (51) coupled to the modulating arrangement for transmitting the subband transmission signal through the selected one of the frequency subbands, a spread spectrum processing arrangement (50) for processing a second input signal into a spread spectrum transmission signal in the up-link frequency band, and a second transmitting arrangement (51) coupled to the spread spectrum processing arrangement for transmitting the spread spectrum transmission signal through the up-link frequency band.
