Patent ID: 7986735

Claim:
A digital signal transmission system comprising: a first device; a second device; and a coaxial cable for connecting between the first device and the second device, a digital signal being transmitted between the first device and the second device via the coaxial cable, wherein the first device includes a first signal divider configured to divide a first digital signal to be transmitted to the second device into a plurality of signal groups, a plurality of first modulators configured to modulate each of the plurality of signal groups obtained from the first signal divider by using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing method, a plurality of first frequency shifters configured to shift the frequency bands of a plurality of modulation signals generated by the plurality of first modulators from a baseband to a plurality of mutually different first frequency bands, and a first signal sender configured to combine a plurality of modulation signals whose frequency bands are shifted by the plurality of first frequency shifters and to send the combined signals to the coaxial cable, and wherein the second device includes a second signal divider configured to divide a second digital signal to be transmitted to the first device into a plurality of signal groups, a plurality of second modulators configured to modulate each of the plurality of signal groups obtained from the second signal divider by using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing method, a plurality of second frequency shifters configured to shift each of the frequency bands of the plurality of modulation signals generated by the plurality of second modulators from the baseband to a plurality of second frequency bands that are mutually different from the plurality of first frequency bands, and a second signal sender configured to combine the plurality of modulation signals whose frequency bands are shifted by the plurality of second frequency shifters and to send the combined signals to the coaxial cable.
