Further, in a wireless communication system in which the frequency of data communication is very low, power consumption is imposed on the overhead for synchronizing the activation time with the communication partner. Even when the wakeup radio apparatus described in the prior art that can reduce power consumption during reception standby is used, a frequency channel dedicated to wakeup is provided, so that frequency use efficiency is reduced.

As a result, a frequency channel corresponding to the surrounding radio wave condition can be selected without channel search or negotiation between the transmitting side and the receiving side, and a wakeup signal can be communicated.

- 903 denotes an interval determination unit.
- the pulse detector 901 detects an amplitude change of the input pulse train (signal 11c) and outputs amplitude information and edge information.
- amplitude information for example, the peak amplitude of the pulse can be used.
- edge information timing information when the amplitude value exceeds a predetermined threshold (rising edge) or timing information when the amplitude value falls below the predetermined threshold (falling edge) can be used.
- the pulse edge information detected by the pulse detector 901 is input to the timer 902.
- Timer 902 measures the time between two edges. For example, the time from the rising edge to the next rising edge is measured as a pulse interval. Alternatively, the time from the rising edge to the next falling edge may be measured as a pulse interval. The time from the rising edge to the immediately following falling edge is measured as the pulse width. The time between the two edges measured by the timer 902 is input to the interval determination unit 903.
- the interval determination unit 903 determines the pulse interval. That is, the preamble is detected from the interval between the edges of the pulse measured by the timer 902, and the reference interval is obtained.
- the time from the rising edge to the immediately following falling edge is It can be detected that the time to the rising edge is half. If such a timing relationship occurs continuously, it can be considered that a preamble has been detected.
- the pulse interval obtained at this time is stored as a reference interval.
- the reference interval can be obtained with higher accuracy by averaging the pulse width and the pulse interval detected during the preamble period.
- the pulse interval modulated pulse train continues, so the interval of the input received pulse train is determined based on the reference interval. For example, when the pulse train shown in FIG. 5 is input, a numerical sequence (2, 19, 12, 3, 2, 19) indicating the pulse interval is output.
- the interval between pulses that can be regarded as substantially the same amplitude may be determined. For example, when a pulse train as shown in the column (c) of FIG. 11 is input to the pulse detector 901, a numerical sequence (2, 19, 12, 3) that determines the interval between pulses having a large amplitude, A numerical sequence (16, 4, 5, 11) that determines the interval between small pulses is output.
- the numerical sequence indicating the pulse interval detected (output) by the pulse interval demodulation unit 111 is decoded by the decoding unit 112. That is, for example, the information bits and the frequency channel information 112I are obtained (calculated) by performing reverse lookup on the coding table of FIG. 6 used in the coding unit 104. For example, when a pulse interval numerical value sequence (2, 19, 12, 3, 2, 19) is input, it is divided into symbols (2, 19) (12, 3) (2, 19) each consisting of two sets. . Then, referring to the encoding table of FIG. 6, it can be seen that the symbol is for the frequency channel CH1, and consequently, the information bits are 0, 1, 0, respectively. By performing such decoding, the frequency channel information 112I and information bits are reproduced from the pulse interval numerical sequence.

- the signal (signal 11c) output from the envelope detector 803 is temporarily stored in a memory or the like, and then the pulse width of the entire pulse train and the average of the pulse interval are obtained, and this is used as a reference between each pulse. It is also possible to reproduce the information symbol by determining the relative interval of the information with reference to the code table. When performing such demodulation, the preamble part transmitting the reference interval can be shortened or deleted, and communication overhead can be further reduced.
