DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data transmission apparatus, and more particularly, to a data transmission apparatus using a spread spectrum modulation method for performing wideband transmission of transmission information in advance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional spread spectrum modulation system basically employs a configuration as shown in FIG. In the figure, a spread modulator 16 modulates transmission data into a wideband spread spectrum modulated signal. The output of the spread modulator 16 is radiated as electromagnetic waves from the antenna 11 to space via the transmission high-frequency unit 14 and the transmission / reception switch 12. An electromagnetic wave to be received in space is converted into a high-frequency signal by the antenna 11 and applied to the despread modulator 15 via the transmission / reception switch 12 and the reception high-frequency unit 13. The despread demodulator 15 despread modulates the received high-frequency signal with the spread signal and demodulates the received data.

[0003] Spread-spectrum modulation is based on several tens to 100 of the transmission frequency bandwidth of data to be transmitted.
This is a method of transmitting data in a wide frequency band of about 0 times. Since the transmitting side performs frequency spread modulation with a spreading code, the transmission power density per unit frequency bandwidth is low and interference / interference to other communication systems is reduced. In addition, on the receiving side, the data transmission method has a characteristic that the influence of interference and interference from other communication systems is small due to sharp correlation characteristics due to frequency despread demodulation. In a conventional data transmission apparatus using the spread spectrum modulation method, there is an example of simplifying and increasing the speed of the receiving side, that is, the structure of the frequency despread demodulation. Data is transmitted by transmitting at the bandwidth.

On the other hand, the spread spectrum modulation system uses the CDM
There is a type of (code division multiplexing) system, which may be based on the premise that a plurality of users (subscribers) use the same transmission space, that is, the same frequency band, at the same time. In this case, the data transmission devices of a plurality of users interfere with each other.

[0005]

The following problems are raised in the data transmission apparatus based on the conventional spread spectrum modulation method.

The first problem is that when the same frequency band is used by a plurality of users (subscribers), it is difficult to avoid mutual interference.

[0007] The reason is that the power transmission in the frequency band where the frequency characteristic is degraded does not necessarily mean that the frequency characteristic is degraded for another user (device), and causes interference and interference. As a result, it is difficult to avoid mutual interference.

[0008] The second problem is that even when data transmission is performed via a transmission line whose amplitude frequency characteristic is not flat, unnecessary transmission power is sent out, and a third party who tries to eavesdrop on data transmission. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the probability of being detected by the system and secure confidentiality.

[0009] The reason is that the power transmission in the frequency band where the frequency characteristics are degraded does not necessarily mean that the frequency characteristics are degraded by a third party (between devices) who intends to intercept and eavesdrop, and conversely, the signal power density Can be large, and it is difficult to reduce the probability of detection by a third party for eavesdropping and eavesdropping, and to ensure confidentiality.

A third problem is that even when data transmission is performed via a transmission line whose amplitude frequency characteristic is not flat, unnecessary transmission power is transmitted, and it is difficult to reduce the power consumption of the device. .

The reason is that, in the spread spectrum modulation method, several tens of
A wide frequency band of about 1000 times is used. On the other hand, the amplitude frequency characteristic of the transmission line between the transmitter and the receiver depends on the gain frequency characteristic of the transmitting and receiving antennas and the multiplicity generated in the actual transmission radio wave propagation space. Radio wave propagation characteristics are not flat due to path interference or the like, and a frequency band in which amplitude characteristics fall is generated. With respect to such frequency characteristics, the conventional data transmission apparatus transmits the signal while assuming that the frequency characteristics of the transmission path are uniform. Therefore, useless transmission power that cannot reach the receiving side sufficiently due to a drop in frequency characteristics is transmitted, and it is difficult to reduce the power consumption of the device.

According to the present invention, in order to suppress power transmission in a band with reduced amplitude frequency characteristics in a transmission path, it is possible to reduce signal transmission in a useless frequency band. Measure low power consumption.

[0013]

A data transmission method according to the present invention is a data transmission method for mutually transmitting and receiving data, comprising: transmitting a wideband signal at an initial stage of data transmission; Characteristic information is measured and mutually transmitted, and transmission is performed by setting a frequency characteristic and a data transmission rate of a transmission signal based on the frequency amplitude characteristic information.

In a data transmission apparatus for transmitting and receiving data to and from each other, an initial synchronization signal is mutually transmitted using an entire predetermined frequency band of the data transmission apparatus in an initial synchronization establishment stage. Transmitting, detecting a frequency amplitude characteristic from a received signal of the initial synchronization signal, and performing data transmission by reducing transmission energy in a frequency band in which the frequency amplitude characteristic has dropped.

[0015] When the frequency amplitude characteristics of the transmission path are partially reduced, it is preferable to reduce the data transmission speed and perform data transmission in a frequency band where the frequency amplitude characteristics are not reduced. Further, the data transmission device can be configured to perform data transmission by spread spectrum modulation.

Further, the data transmission apparatus of the present invention has a receiving system for demodulating a received signal with a despread demodulator via a variable band pass filter for reception, and a transmitting system for modulating transmission data with a spread modulator and transmitting. In a data transmission device comprising a transmission system for transmitting via a variable bandpass filter, a spectrum analyzer (spectrum detector / spectrum) for detecting a frequency amplitude characteristic of the received signal.
And a control unit that controls the pass characteristics of the variable band pass filter for reception to match the characteristics of the transmission line on the receiving side based on the frequency amplitude characteristic information obtained from the spectrum analysis unit. A decision control unit for superimposing the information on the transmission signal and controlling the characteristics of the variable band pass filter for transmission to match the characteristics of the transmission side transmission line based on the information of the frequency amplitude characteristics of the transmission side transmission line; and It is characterized by having.

At the initial stage of data transmission / reception, the transmitting side transmits an initial synchronization signal over a predetermined entire frequency band, and the receiving side detects the initial synchronization signal by a determination control unit, and a spectrum detector / determiner. Performs spectrum analysis of the received signal spread over a wide band, outputs frequency characteristic information of the transmission line, inputs the frequency characteristic information of the transmission line to the decision controller, and outputs a variable bandpass filter 1 and a variable bandpass filter 2 By controlling the center frequency and spread modulation speed of the spread modulation and transmitting the data of the variable filter and the like set on the reception side to the transmission side, data transmission suitable for the characteristics of the transmission path can be performed. .
