Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for suppressing intermodulation products introduced by nonlinearities of a laser in a multi-­carrier Frequency Division Multiplexed (FDM) fiberoptic link. More particularly, for two or more closely spaced FDM channel information signals within a predetermined band of frequencies in an FDM optical transmission system, third-order intermodulation products, which are produced by nonlinearities of a transmitting laser, also fall in-band and provide interference in the channel information signals. Suppression of these in-band intermodulation products is achieved in the present invention by the simultaneous transmission of a strong suppression tone (44) which is disposed outside the band of the FDM channel information signals (40, 41) being transmitted, and at a frequency within the overall response band of the transmitting laser (24) such that the mixing of the channel information signals and the suppression tone will provide minimal, or no, intermodulation products (42, 43) in the frequency band of the the FDM channel information signals.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for correcting quantized waveform data which are made by a process of quantizing a base band waveform, so optimized as to make a sum of errors included in a single bit range of input digital data smaller than one quantizing step, and are output as the base band waveform which is to be accumulated or integrated in the requirement of the system (such as frequency-to-phase conversion). Since an accumulated sum of the quantized waveform data has some error from the real base band waveform when those quantized waveform data are accumulated so as to generate phase information from frequency information, the quantized waveform data have to be corrected previously. For the purpose of restraining the accumulated error, this method has the steps of defining states corresponding to input data patterns, establishing simultaneous equations corresponding to state transition routes respectively, solving the equations, and deciding correcting values to the quantized data.

Abstract: For synchronising the carrier frequency of a mobile digital telephone, the PSW burst transmitted must be evaluated. Its accurate position is determined by the fact that, after digitisation, the auto correlation function value of the signal sequence is continuously determined as period value for a displacement by the length of one period of the signal and the auto correlation function value is determined as period part-value for a displacement by one sampling period. The two values are compared, the beginning of the PSW burst being identified by the fact that the period value becomes greater than the period part-value. The greatest period value then determines the position of the samples of the PSW burst. The method is carried out by a pulse signal detector (PSWD) within a signal processor (SP) with the aid of a logic circuit (L). The samples of the PSW burst are processed further by a carrier frequency generator (FAS) for accurately setting the carrier frequency.
