Abstract: L'invention concerne un modulateur multicanal pour la transmission de signaux téléphonie à l'intérieur d'un système de communication à large bande. Un filtre accepte les chaînes de données numérisées d'information téléphonie sous forme de composants de signaux I et Q, puis il les filtre pour créer des composants de signaux I et Q transformés. Un module d'interpolation crée des composants de signaux I et Q transformés par sur-échantillonnage des composants de signaux filtrés I et Q. Ensuite, ces composants de signaux I et Q sont transformés vers un ensemble de modulateurs de voie capables de créer un signal modulé à l'intérieur d'une voie d'accroissement discontinue d'une sous-bande de retour. Chaque modulateur de voie accepte deux composants de signaux transformés I et Q et, en retour, il module un signal porteur sélectionné avec l'un des signaux téléphonie pour créer un signal modulé complexe. Un module additionneur répond aux signaux modulés complexes en additionnant les composants réels du signal pour créer un signal résultant réel et en additionnant les composants imaginaires pour créer un signal résultant imaginaire. Un module convertisseur numérique/analogique (DAC) convertit le signal résultant réel et le signal résultant imaginaire, qui sont représentés par des chaînes de données numérisées, en signaux analogiques. Un transmetteur, sensible aux signaux analogiques, transmet les signaux modulés à l'intérieur d'une bande de fréquence du réseau de communication à large bande.
