On the other hand, a greater amount of digital signal processing is required to recover the data in the received signal, but the additional cost involved here is less than the saving mentioned above. In addition, the DSP part of the system tends to be more reliable over its lifetime than the analogue parts that it replaces.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une méthode de transmission d'un signal AMDC et d'extraction d'un signal de données à partir du signal AMDC transmis, ainsi qu'un appareil émetteur et récepteur prévu pour réaliser ce procédé. Selon le procédé, un signal de données est combiné à des premier et second codes afin de générer des signaux codés, séparés, qui sont modulés avec des porteuses en phase et en quadrature, puis qui sont totalisés afin de générer un signal de sortie de transmission. Le signal reçu est combiné à une copie de la porteuse dans un seul mélangeur, puis est traité afin d'extraire les composantes en phase et en quadrature du signal dans la bande de base obtenue. Le procédé et l'appareil de l'invention permettent de mettre en place un système AMDC à un coût relativement bas.
