Patent ID: 8422482

Claim:
A wireless communication system comprising: transmission apparatus configured to transmit a millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal based on a transmission unit in which an informational signal is divided and a synchronization signal is added to the divided informational signal; and reception apparatus including plural reception means for receiving the millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal to obtain the informational signals and output-controlling means for selecting any informational signal from the informational signals obtained by the plural reception means, wherein each of the plural reception means includes communication quality detection means for detecting communication quality of the received millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal; demodulation means for demodulating the received millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal into a demodulated informational signal; storing means for storing the demodulated informational signal obtained by the reception means; and synchronization-detection-storage-controlling means for detecting the synchronization signal from the demodulated millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal, generating a write control signal based on the detected synchronization signal, and controlling the storing means to store the demodulated informational signal based on the write control signal, and wherein the output-controlling means reads the demodulated informational signals out of the storing means of the plural reception means with the demodulated informational signals being synchronized with each other after the plural reception means have detected the synchronization signals, selects from the plural reception means the reception means having satisfactory communication quality based on a detected result of the communication quality by the plural reception means, and outputs the demodulated informational signal read out of the selected reception means, and wherein the communication quality detection means detects signal strength of the received millimetric-wave extremely high frequency wireless signal as communication quality.
