Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a full-duplex transmission type modem, and more particularly, to accurate transmission / reception even when modems having different transmission levels coexist on a communication line. The present invention relates to a full-duplex transmission type modem capable of performing the above. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the automatic setting of the transmission level of a modem has been to optimally set the transmission level of a local station modem by sensing the transmission level or line loss of a partner station modem. [0003] However, this prior art has the following problems. That is, since the noise of the line is not considered at all, the signal of the modem on the partner station side may not be received depending on the line quality. [0004] This will be described based on a specific example. Conventionally, according to the “Rules for Terminal Equipment, etc.”, the transmission level of a modem signal has been defined to be -15 dBm or less.
The rules were revised in 1998 by Ordinance No. 13 of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications,
The transmission level has been changed to -8 dBm or less. Therefore,
In the market, a modem having a transmission level of -15 dBm or less and a modem having a transmission level of -8 dBm or less are mixed. As a result of this mixing, the modem on the partner station side becomes -1.
If the transmission level of the local station modem is -8 dBm at the transmission level of 5 dBm, the echo of the local station modem becomes large, and if the suppression rate of the echo canceller is constant,
There is a possibility that the reception level does not change, and only noise due to the echo increases, making it impossible to receive the signal of the modem on the partner station side. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a full-duplex transmission modem capable of transmitting and receiving data accurately even when modems having different transmission levels are mixed. [0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a maximum transmission level which can be transmitted over the communication line.
If the maximum transmission is possible,
Outgoing level, and at this time, the receiving level
The detection value (S) detected by the detection means and the noise level detection method
The S / N ratio is determined based on the detection value (N) detected by the stage,
Further, the S / N ratio is determined in advance according to the transmission speed of the modem.
The S / N ratio is compared with the set criterion value.
When the value is smaller than the value, the S / N ratio exceeds the judgment reference value.
The local station side by sequentially lowering the transmission level until
Transmission level determination means for determining an optimum transmission level of
There is a configuration provided. With this configuration, the optimum transmission level of the own station is determined based on both the noise level and the reception level, so that accurate transmission and reception can be performed between the partner station and the own station. it can. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Referring to FIG. 1, a modem M according to the present embodiment includes a reception level detection circuit 1 which is a "reception level detection means" for sensing a transmission level of a signal transmitted by a modem A on a partner station side, and a noise level on a line. A noise level detection circuit 2 which is a "noise level detection means" for sensing;
A signal transmission circuit 3 which is "transmission level determination means" for transmitting a signal transmitted from the local station modem to an optimum state and transmitting the signal. Reference numeral 11 denotes a modulation circuit for modulating a signal from a DTE (data terminal equipment) arriving via a DTE interface, and 12 denotes a transmission filter for sending a predetermined signal to a modem A on the opposite station side via a line interface. , 1
3 is a reception filter for extracting a predetermined signal from the reception signal,
Reference numeral 14 denotes a demodulation circuit that demodulates a received signal, and 15 denotes a carrier detection circuit that detects a carrier of the received signal. Also, N
CU is a line control device. Next, a detailed configuration of the signal transmission circuit 3 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the signal transmission circuit 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the signal transmission circuit 3
Is an S / N calculation circuit 31 and an S / N reference value setting unit 32
, A transmission level switching circuit 22, and n signal transmission units 41
To 4n. The reception level signal a sent from the reception level detection circuit 1 is input to the S / N calculation circuit 31. The noise level signal b sent from the noise level detection circuit 2 is also input to the S / N calculation circuit 31 in the same manner. The S / N calculation circuit 31 receives a reception level signal a
An S / N ratio between (S) and the noise level signal b (N) is obtained, and the S / N ratio is determined by a reference value (for example, 26 dB, which is determined in advance) in the S / N reference value setting unit 32. The method will be described next).
4n to select an appropriate sending circuit. Each signal transmission unit has a different signal amplification factor, and the transmission level of the signal transmitted by the local station side modem A changes depending on which signal transmission unit is selected. Here, the setting of the judgment reference value 26 dB will be described. At present, a high-speed FAX modem (G3 standard) having a FAX transmission / reception function on the market is 14400 bps. As is well known, the higher the speed is, the more likely it is to be affected by noise. Therefore, in this embodiment, 26 dB was calculated by simulation as the S / N that can be connected by FAX at a high speed of 14400 bps. Note that the criterion value differs depending on the performance and connection speed of the modem. Next, the operation of the circuit of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the transmission level of the local station side modem M is set to -8.
It is set to dBm (the new standard described in the conventional example) (step S1). In this state, the noise level detection circuit 2 senses the noise level on the line (step S).
2) Send the noise level signal b to the signal sending circuit 3. Further, the reception level detection circuit 1
Senses the transmission level of the signal to be transmitted (step S
3) Send the reception level signal a to the signal sending circuit 3. The signal transmission circuit 3 includes a reception level detection circuit 1
Is compared with the noise level signal b sent from the noise level detection circuit 2 and
If / N> 26 dB (step S4: NO), only the noise due to the echo increases as described in the related art, and there is a possibility that the signal of the modem on the partner station side cannot be received. Transmission level of 1 dBm
Only (Step S5) and return to Step S2. Then, the operation of steps S2 to S4 is repeated, and if S / N> 26 dB (step S4: YES), since the other party's modem A can be accurately received, the setting of the transmission level ends. . Description of Effects As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The first effect is that the modem on the local station side does not fail in reception depending on the transmission level of the modem on the partner station side. The reason is that the transmission level of the modem on the partner station side is detected, and the noise level due to the echo of the modem on the local station side is controlled by providing a means (signal transmission circuit) for optimally setting the transmission level of the modem on the local station side. It is because. The second effect is that the connection with the partner station modem does not become difficult due to the line quality. The reason is that means for detecting the noise level on the line and optimally setting the transmission level of the local station side modem (signal transmission circuit)
The reason for this is that the transmission level of the local station side modem can be set according to the line quality.
