Description

DESCRIPTION
LINE STATE DETECTING APPARATUS AND TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND RECEIVING APPARATUS OF BALANCED TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Technical Field The present invention relates to a line state detecting apparatus for detecting a state of a transmission line in a balanced transmission system for transmitting data by using a pair of conductors, and a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus of a balanced transmission system provided therewith.
Background Art In a background art, there is widely used a balanced transmission system for transmitting data by using a pair of transmission lines brought into a balanced state. In a balanced transmission system of this kind, as in, for example, a telephone line, a transmission line by an exclusive communication line or the like is frequently used, normally, some degree of balance is moderately maintained by current flowing via a forward line or a rearward line of pair of transmission line. Fig.31 shows an example of a transmitting portion and a transmission line of a balanced transmission apparatus of a background art. The balanced transmission apparatus is constructed by a constitution of transmitting a signal to transmission lines comprising a pair of conductors Wl, W2 from a transmitting portion 92 via a transmission transformer T91. In this case, a current of a transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting portion 92 depends of characteristics of the transmitting portion 92 and the transmission lines Wl, W2. Although the transmission lines reaching a receiving portion from the transmitting portion are inherently requested to be completely balanced, actually, there are unbalance elements in the transmitting portion and the receiving portion, unbalance components by a situation of wires of the transmission lines and an apparatus connected to a middle of the transmission lines and the like, and it is an actual situation that currents flowing in the conductors Wl, W2 of the transmission lines are not regarded to be completely balanced. When the currents flowing in the transmission lines are unbalanced in this way, a portion of a transmission power leaks from the transmission line to outside to deteriorate a transmission characteristic of data or bring about a drawback of interference or the like. Recently, there is proposed a balanced transmission system for transmitting data by superposing a high frequency signal on a power line for carrying a power of a commercial power source or the like. Particularly, such a power line is not inherently a line for communication and therefore, balance may be dispersed by an individual household wiring situation, an apparatus connected to a power source or the like. Therefore, when the power line is used as a transmission line, there is a concern that the balance is changed by individual environments and a transmission characteristic significantly differs. Therefore, although it is preferable to promote of balance of transmission lines by detecting a state of the transmission lines and controlling currents or voltages in two lines in a balanced transmission system, in a background art, detection and control of such a line state have not been executed.
Disclosure of Invention The invention has been carried out in view of the above-described situation and it is an object thereof to provide a line state detecting apparatus capable of detecting a balanced state of transmission lines in a balanced transmission system. Further, it is an object of the invention to provide a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus of a balanced transmission system capable of controlling a balanced state of transmission lines based on a result of detection and capable of promoting a degree of balance in a balanced transmission system. According to the invention, a line state detecting apparatus for detecting a state of a transmission line in a balanced transmission system for transmitting a data by using a pair of conductors, comprises an unbalance component detector for directly detecting an unbalance component between the pair of conductors. Thereby, an unbalance state of an unbalance component of currents or voltages in the transmission lines can be detected. For example, the balance can be promoted by controlling a balanced state of the transmission lines based on a result of the detection. Moreover, according to the invention, a line state detecting apparatus for detecting a state of a transmission line in a balanced transmission system for transmitting a data by using a pair of conductors, comprises an electrical component detector for detecting currents flowing in the conductors or voltages of the conductors or both thereof for the respective conductors, and an unbalance component calculator for calculating a difference of the currents of the respective conductors or a difference of the voltages for the respective conductors or both thereof detected by the electrical component detector. Thereby, an unbalance state of an unbalance component of the currents or the voltages of the transmission lines or the like can be detected. For example, balance can be promoted by controlling a balanced state of the transmission lines based on a result of the detection.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention According to embodiments of the invention, there are shown constitution examples of a line state detecting apparatus for detecting a state of a transmission line in a balanced transmission system for transmitting data by a balanced transmission line, and a transmitter and a receiver of a balanced transmission apparatus having the line state detecting apparatus as well as a balanced transmission system having both of the transmitter and the receiver. The line state detecting apparatus of the embodiments are applicable to a balanced transmission system of a power line communication system or the like using a power line for a transmission line. Further, as data communication, the apparatus are preferably be used for power line communication using a frequency division multiplex signal or OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) or the like or data communication of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) or the like. First, an explanation will be given of an outline of a transmitter and a receiver of a balanced transmission apparatus and a balanced transmission system according an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 32 is an outlook perspective view showing a front face of a transmitter and Fig. 33 is an outlook perspective view showing a rear face of the transmitter. A transmitter 1 according to the embodiment is a modem as shown by Figs. 32 and 33. The transmitter 1 is provided with a cabinet 101. As shown by Fig. 32, a front face of the cabinet 101 is provided with a display portion 105 of LED (Light Emitting Diode) or the like. As shown by Fig. 33, a rear face of the cabinet 101 is provided with a power source connector 102, a modular jack 103 for LAN (Local Area Network) of RJ45, and a Dsub connector 104. As shown by Fig. 33, the power source connector 102 is connected with conductors Wl, W2, of parallel cables or the like. The modular jack 103 is connected with an LAN cable, not illustrated. The Dsub connector 104 is connected with a Dsub cable, not illustrated. Inside of the cabinet 101 is provided with a transmitting portion (mentioned later) and a coupler transformer, not illustrated. The conductors Wl, W2 are applied with an alternating current voltage (for example, 100 NAC) and when the transmitting portion outputs a transmission signal, the transmission signal is superposed on the alternating current voltage via the coupler transformer. Further, although an example of the transmitter is shown in Fig. 32 and Fig. 33, this is also a constitution of a receiver. Further, although the modem of Fig. 32 and Fig. 33 is shown as an example of the transmitter, the constitution needs not to be limited thereto but the transmitter or the receiver may be an electric apparatus (for example, a household apparatus of a television set or the like) having a modem. Fig.1 is a view showing an outline constitution of a transmitter of a balanced transmission apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. The transmitter 1 is constituted by including a line state detecting apparatus 2 for detecting a state of a balanced transmission line comprising a pair of conductors Wl, W2 constituting signal transmission lines and a transmitting portion 3 for inputting signal data for transmission and transmitting a transmission signal. The transmission signal outputted from the transmitting portion 3 is transmitted to the conductors Wl, W2 via the line state detecting apparatus 2. There is a possibility that a value of the signal injected to the conductors Wl, W2 becomes a value different from a value outputted from the transmitting portion 3 by a transmission impedance of the transmitter and a transmission line impedance. The line state detecting apparatus 2 detects a level of a current or a voltage flowing in the conductors Wl, W2, or levels of both thereof and calculates a state detecting signal indicating an unbalance state of the transmission line to feed back to the transmitting portion 3. The transmitting portion 3 is provided with a function of a transmission signal controller and controls a level of the outputted transmission signal, that is, the level of the current or the voltage or the levels of the both to promote a degree of balance of the signal actually transmitted to the conductors Wl, W2 based on the fed-back state detecting signal. By detecting the balanced state of the transmission line and controlling the current or the voltage or the both of the signal transmitted to the transmission line in this way, in accordance with a state of the transmission line, the level of the transmission signal actually transmitted to the conductors Wl, W2 can be controlled, a common mode signal level in the transmission line can be reduced and a degree of balance in view from the transmitter can be promoted. Fig.2 is a view showing an outline constitution of a receiver of the balanced transmission apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention. The receiver 4 is constituted by including a line state detecting apparatus 5 for detecting a state of the balanced transmission line comprising the pair of conductors Wl, W2 constituting the signal transmission lines, and a receiving portion 6 for receiving the transmission signal from the conductors Wl, W2 and outputting signal data. Further, the transmitter 1 is constructed by a constitution of including the transmitting portion 3 connected to the conductors Wl, W2 of the balanced transmission line. The transmission signal transmitted via the conductors Wl, W2 is inputted to the line state detecting apparatus 5. The line state detecting apparatus 5 detects a level of a current or a voltage flowing from the conductors Wl, W2 or levels of both thereof and calculates a state detecting signal indicating an unbalance state of the transmission line to feed back to the transmitting portion 3 via the receiving portion 6. In this case, an unbalance component becomes a value as if the same signals (common mode signals) were added for respectives of the conductors Wl, W2 as a bias and therefore, the bias value or the like is detected. The transmitting portion 3 is provided with the function of a transmission signal controller and controls a level of the outputted transmission signal such that, for example, the bias value of a fed-back common mode component is reduced based on the state detecting signal fed back from the receiving portion 6. By detecting the balanced state of the transmission lines and controlling the current or the voltage or the both of the signal flowing to the transmission line or the signal flowing from the transmission line, in accordance with a state of the transmission line, a level of a receiving signal actually transmitted from the conductors Wl, W2 can be controlled, a level of the common mode signal in the transmission lines can be reduced and a degree of balance in view from the receiver can be promoted. Fig.3 is a view showing an outline constitution of a balanced transmission system having the transmitter and the receiver according to the embodiment of the invention. The balanced transmission system is constructed by a constitution of including the transmitter 1 having the line state detecting apparatus 2 and the transmitting portion 3 and the receiver 4 having the line state detecting apparatus 5 and the receiving portion 6 and transmitting balanced data via the pair of conductors Wl, W2 constituting the signal transmission lines. Signal data for transmission is inputted to the transmitting portion 3 and outputted as the transmission signal and is transmitted to the conductors Wl, W2 via the line state detecting apparatus 2. In this case, the level of the signal transmitted to the conductors Wl, W2 is detected by the line state detecting apparatus 2 and the state detecting signal indicating the unbalance state of the transmission lines is calculated to feed back to the transmitting portion 3. At the transmitting portion 3, the level of the outputted transmission signal is controlled based on the state detecting signal and the degree of balance of the signal outputted to the conductors Wl, W2 is controlled to promote. Further, the transmission signal transmitted via the conductors Wl, W2 is received by the receiving portion 6 via the line state detecting apparatus 5 and the signal data is acquired to output. In this case, the level of the signal transmitted at the conductors Wl, W2 is detected by the line state detecting apparatus 5 and the state detecting signal indicating the unbalance state of the transmission lines is calculated to feed back to the transmitting portion 3 via the receiving portion 6. At the transmitting portion 3, the level of the transmission signal outputted based on the state detecting signal is controlled, thereby, the degree of balance of the signal received by the receiving portion 6 via the conductors Wl, W2 is controlled to promote. By detecting the balance state of the transmission lines by the transmitting portion and the receiving portion and controlling the current or the voltage or the both of the signal at the transmission lines, in accordance with the state of the transmission lines, the level of the transmission signal at the conductors Wl, W2 can be controlled, the common mode signal level at the transmission line can be reduced and the degree of balance in view from at least one of the transmitter and the receiver can be promoted. Next, a number of embodiments of the line state detecting apparatus of the invention used in the transmitter and the receiver of the balanced transmission apparatus as well as the balanced transmission system as described above will be shown. The line state detecting apparatus according to embodiments detect a state with regard to a degree of balance of the transmission lines by directly detecting an unbalance component of voltages or currents of the pair of conductors constituting the transmission lines, or both thereof.

According to the line state detecting apparatus of the seventh embodiment, by detecting the potential of the intersection of the two coils L71, L72 connected in series between the conductors Wl, W2 on a side of the transmission lines of the transmission transformer T71 inserted between the transmission lines comprising the conductors Wl, W2 and the transmitting portion 73 by the detecting portion 71, a difference of the current or the voltage between the conductors Wl, W2, that is, the unbalance component can be detected by a simple constitution. (Eighth Embodiment) Fig.30 is a view showing a basic constitution of a line state detecting apparatus according to an eighth embodiment of the invention. The line state detecting apparatus of the embodiment is constructed by a constitution including, in the transmission lines comprising a pair of the conductors Wl, W2 connected to a transmitting portion 83, a transmission transformer T81 inserted between the transmission lines and the transmitting portion 83, a coil L81 having a middle point tap inserted between the conductors Wl, W2 on a side of the transmission lines of the transmission transformer T81 and a detecting portion 81 for detecting a voltage between a middle point of the coil L81 and the ground potential. In the constitution, the detecting portion 81 can directly detect a common mode voltage (unbalance voltage) of the conductors Wl, W2 of the transmission lines by detecting a voltage at the middle point of the coil L81, that is, a voltage of the middle point of the conductors Wl, W2 of the transmission lines. Therefore, an unbalance component of a power transmitted from the transmitting portion 83 can be detected by a simple constitution. Further, according to the constitution of the eighth embodiment, by using the coil having the middle point tap, the constitution is further simplified. Further, a first modified example may be constructed by a constitution of providing a detection transformer a primary winding of which is connected between the middle point of the coil L81 and the ground and detecting a current or a voltage of a secondary winding of the detecting transformer by the detecting portion 81. Thereby, the unbalance component can be detected in a state of being separated from the transmission lines. Further, a second modified example may be constructed by a constitution of inputting a portion of a transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting portion 83 or a carried signal carried by the conductor Wl or W2 to the detecting portion 81 and comparing phases of voltages of the transmission signal and the unbalance component of the conductors Wl, W2 by the detecting portion 81. Thereby, a direction of the common mode current can be detected along with amplitude of the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2. Further, in comparing the phases by the detecting portion 81, a phase(s) of either one or both of the voltages of the conductors Wl, W2 may be used. Further, a third modified example may be constructed by a constitution of calculating a product of the voltage of the unbalance component of the conductors Wl, W2 detected by the detecting portion 81 by the voltage of the transmission signal outputted from the transmitting portion 83 by the detecting portion 81. Thereby, not only an amount of the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 of the transmission lines can be detected by a calculated value of the product but also a direction of the common mode current can be detected by a sign of the calculated value. According to the line state detecting apparatus of the eighth embodiment, by detecting the potential of the middle point of the coil L81 connected between the conductors Wl, W2 on the side of the transmission lines of the transmission transformer inserted between the transmission lines comprising the conductors Wl, W2 and the transmitting portion 83 by the detecting portion 81, a difference of the currents or the voltages between the conductors Wl, W2, that is, the unbalance component can be detected by a simple constitution. Further, in the above-describe first through eighth embodiments, there may be constructed a constitution of detecting the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 in consideration of a timing of outputting the transmission signal by using the transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting portion. For example, when the transmission signal is not outputted, by stopping to operate the detecting portion or the differential circuit or making the output of the differential circuit OFF, a detected output of the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 can be excluded when the transmission signal is not transmitted. Further, although in the above-described first through eighth embodiments, there are shown constitution examples in which respective constituent elements are expressed by electronic elements of circuit blocks, transformers and the like, the invention is not limited to the above-described constitution examples so far as the constitutions are provided with similar operation or function but can be realized by various constitutions of combinations of analog circuits, digital circuits and electronic elements. Further, functions of the respective constituent elements may be constructed by constitutions realized by a hardware processing or a software processing. Further, small-sized formation of the apparatus can also be achieved by integrating a portion or a total of the circuits. Further, when a correction is executed as in compensating for the phase in detecting the unbalance component and controlling the degree of balance of the transmission lines based on the detected unbalance component, the correction may be constructed by a constitution of correcting a shift amount relative to a correction target value as a correction amount, or contrary thereto, constructed by a constitution of correcting a difference between the correction target value and the shift amount as a correction amount. As described above, according to the invention, the balanced state of the transmission lines in the balanced transmission system can be detected, the balanced state of the transmission lines can be controlled by controlling a level of the transmission signal transmitted to the transmission lines and the degree of balance can be promoted based on the result of detection. Thereby, the power leaked from the transmission lines to outside can be reduced and the deterioration in the characteristic of transmitting data or interference to outside can be restrained. For example, the invention can achieve a further significant effect when applied to the balanced transmission system of a power line communication system or the like using a power line in the transmission line.

Further, the line state detecting apparatus is constructed by a constitution of including a first detecting portion 31 and a second detecting portion 32 for respectively detecting voltages of the impedances Z31, Z32 and a differential circuit 34 for detecting common mode components of respective outputs of the first detecting portion 31 and the second detecting portion 32. Further, as the differential circuit 34, any circuit can be used so far as the circuit is a circuit including an adding circuit, a subtracting circuit or the like and can detect a difference of the voltages at the conductors Wl , W2. In the constitution, the first detecting portion 31 and the second detecting portion 32 can respectively detect voltages of the conductors Wl, W2 relative to a predetermined reference voltage (ground potential) by respectively detecting voltages across both ends of the impedances Z31, Z32. Further, the differential circuit 34 can detect common mode voltage (unbalance voltage) components between the conductors Wl, W2, that is, an unbalance component of a power transmitted from the transmitting portion 33 by calculating the common phase components of the outputs of the first detecting portion 31 and the output of the second detecting portion 32. According to the line state detecting apparatus of the eleventh embodiment, the respective voltages of the conductors Wl, W2 relative to the predetermined refference potential can be detected by detecting the voltages across both ends of the impedances Z31, Z32 the ends on one side of which are connected to respectives of the conductors Wl, W2 constituting the transmission lines and the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 can be detected by calculating the common mode components of the detected values by the differential circuit 34. Further, in the above-described first through eleventh embodiments, there may be constructed a constitution of detecting the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 in consideration of a timing of outputting the transmission signal by using the transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting portion. For example, when the transmission signal is not outputted, the detected output of the unbalance component between the conductors Wl, W2 when the transmission signal is not outputted can be excluded by stopping to operate the detecting portion or the differential circuit or switching off the output of the differential circuit. As described above, according to the embodiments, the balanced state of the transmission lines in the balanced transmission system can be detected and the balanced state of the transmission lines can be controlled and the degree of balance can be promoted by controlling the level of the transmission signal transmitted to the transmission lines based on the result of the detection.
