2. Description of the Related Art OFDM modulation employs QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shi) on a plurality of subcarriers.
ft Keying) or the like. OF
Since the DM modulation signal is considered to be a composite signal of a plurality of modulation waves, the ratio of the peak amplitude to the average amplitude is large and the amplitude fluctuation is large. In a digital demodulator, the dynamic range of an A / D converter that performs analog / digital (A / D) conversion is limited. Therefore, a digital signal A / D converted beyond this dynamic range contains signal distortion. It will be output in the form. Normally, wireless LA
In wireless communication systems such as N, users do not always transmit and receive signals at the same reception level. Each user receives a signal at a different level, such as a short distance or a long distance from the transmission antenna. Therefore, suppressing the level of the received signal within the dynamic range of the A / D converter is an essential technique for a wireless communication system. In a demodulator, this operation is performed by an AGC circuit, and an AGC circuit is also indispensable in an OFDM demodulator. In order to adjust the amplitude of the received signal within the dynamic range in the AGC circuit, as shown in FIG. 5, a preamble signal for the AGC circuit is transmitted before a signal such as a start symbol at the head of the packet, and the AGC circuit Controls the amplification gain based on the reception level of the preamble signal. Wireless LAN
In wireless packet communication such as this, if the preamble is long, the throughput in the wireless section is reduced. Therefore, it is desirable that the length of the preamble required for controlling the AGC circuit be short.

[0003] As described above, the OFDM modulation signal has a large amplitude fluctuation. If this large amplitude fluctuation is followed more than necessary, the modulation signal will be distorted. To avoid this, however, it is necessary to increase the time constant of the AGC circuit, and there is a disadvantage that the preamble length for AGC becomes longer.

In a wireless communication system, each user receives a signal having a different reception level. The AGC circuit controls and adjusts the reception level within the dynamic range of the A / D converter. In particular, unlike the conventional single carrier modulation signal, the OFDM modulation signal has a long AGC as shown in FIG. 5A in the conventional configuration in order to prevent the AGC circuit from following the large amplitude fluctuation. Preamble signal was required.
However, an increase in the preamble signal length for AGC in packet communication leads to a decrease in throughput, which is a problem.

The specific operation of this demodulator is as follows. The operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. A
The GC circuit adjusts the time constant so as to converge with the AGC preamble signal within one symbol. After the AGC preamble signal, a synchronization preamble signal for performing burst detection is transmitted, and the burst detection unit detects a burst using the synchronization preamble signal.
The synchronization preamble signal is a signal obtained by repeating the OFDM modulation wave for a certain fixed pattern twice, and
The DM modulation wave can serve as a start symbol used for differential detection. In the burst detection circuit, the synchronization preamble signal is correlated with a signal after a predetermined time, and a burst is detected by detecting a peak of the correlation value. Using this peak detection timing, the control operation of the AGC circuit is stopped in the packet being received, and the control gain at that time is held. By fixing the control gain of the AGC circuit, even if an OFDM modulated signal having a large amplitude fluctuation is input to the AGC circuit, the gain can be controlled without following the amplitude fluctuation. Further, in the next packet signal detection subsequent to the burst detection, first, a unique word transmitted after the start symbol is detected. At this time, if the unique word detection is successful, the process proceeds to the next step while maintaining the control gain of the AGC circuit. If the unique word detection fails, the AGC circuit operates again without fixing the control gain to prepare for the next packet. In the next step of the unique word detection, the physical layer header information of the packet is examined, and based on this, it is determined whether the control gain in the AGC circuit is fixed or released. If the physical layer header information is properly determined, the packet long time can be known by the demodulator, so that the control gain of the AGC circuit is maintained for a specified time over the entire packet long time. After the lapse of the specified time, the control gain fixing operation of the AGC circuit is immediately released, and the operation shifts to a state of waiting for a new received packet. However, when the physical layer header information is not properly determined, the fixed release of the control gain of the AGC circuit is immediately performed as in the case of the unique word detection. In a system such as a wireless LAN, the symbol timing of an OFDM signal can also be detected by the burst detection using the start symbol. Therefore, a system in which the start symbol also has a unique word function without having a unique word can be considered. At this time, the control based on the unique word detection by the packet signal detecting means described above is not performed.
