Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

In order to compensate for frequency deviation without using a pilot signal and associated apparatus, a channel number identification code is added to a transmit signal at an earth station transmitter. Each channel unit (demodulator) of a receiving earth station is arranged to extract a channel identification code from a received signal and to compare this with a preset code assigned to that channel. In the event that the recieved channel idenfication code does not coincide with that of the instant channel, the channel determines the number of channels by which deviation which has occured and adjusts its receiving frequency accordingly.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
TRANSCEIVER FOR ~SE IN EARTH STATION IN
SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to a transceiver provided in an earth station of a satellite communications system, and more specifically to such a transceiver suitable for use in a satellite communications system utiliæing FDMA ~frequency-division multiplexing access).
Description of the Prior Art The FDMA is one of the multiple-access techniques currently used in satellite communications. A frequency-division multiplexing ~FD~) is a transmission mode inwhich a plurality of signals are sent simultaneously using a di~ferent carrier frequency for each signal.
These carrier frequencies are selected so that the signal spectra do not overlap. It is often the case, in an FDMA
communications ~ystem, that each of the carrier ~requencies received at an earth station deviates from the preset value by about 10 kHz to 100 kHz, for example.
The princ~pal cau~e of this frequency deviation is a frequency drift in a local oscillator whic~l is provided in a frequency converter of a transponder on board a satellite. On the other hand, a frequency drift within an earth station is usually as small as 5 kHz.
Assuming that each satellite communication channel is separated from the adjacent one by 25 kHæ and also assuming that the frequency deviation incurred through satellite transmission is between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, then there is a possibility that an earth station fails to xeceive the channel assigned thereto and erroneously receives either the one immediately adjacent thereto or the one which is separated by one or two channels.

\
` ~3~767 71024-102 In order to remove such a frequency deviation common to each channel, lt is a known practice to utilize a pilot signal which is transmitted from a reference earth station. Each of the other earth stations receives the pilot signal via a satellite and determines amount of a frequency deviation. Since the correct frequency of the pilot signal is known, each of the earth stations is able to compensate for the departure of each of the carrier frequencies.
However, this prior art technique has encountered the drawback that each of the earth stations has to be equipped with a receiver for exclusively receiving the pilot signal in addition to the usual receiver for normal communications. Thus, the prior ; earth station transceiver is bulky, complicated and expensive to manufacture.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENT~ON
It is an object oE this invention to provide an earth station transceiver for a satellite communications system, wherein the transceiver is able to compensate Eor receive signal frequency drifts without a special unit ~or receiving a pilot signal.
Another object oE this invention is to provide a method of compensating for frequency drifts of received signals in a satellite communications system without using a Erequency reference such as a pilot signal.

and said a-t least one receiving arrangement including a demodulating section, said demodulating section including: (i) first means for detecting a second channel-identification added to a frame oE data received; (ii) second means for comparing said second channel-identification with a third channel-identification, said third channel-identification ind;cative of a receiving channel assigned to said at least one receiving arrangement; and (iii) third means responsive to the dif:Eerence between said second and third channel-identi:Eications for, in the event that a difference is detected, adjusting channel reception frequency in a manner to rec~ive a channel signal through said receiving channel assigned to said at least one receiving arrangement.
According to another aspect, the invention provides an apparatus for transceiving data using :Erequency-division multiplexing, wherein channe.l-identification is added to each Erame of data to be transmitted through each channel, comprising:

According to a further aspect, the invention provides in a method of transceiving data using frequency-division multiplexing, wherein channel-identification is added to each frame of data to be transmitted through each of channels, the improvement in combination with the foregoing comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a channel signal; (b) demodulating data from said channel signal received in step (a); (c) detecting channel-identification in the frame of the data obtalned in step (b);

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ~HE
PRE_ERRED EMBODIMENTS
Reference is now made to Figure 1, wherein a transmitter section 10 of a transceiver according to this invention is shown in block diagram form.
The transmitter section 10 is provided with two modulating units 12, 14 (viz., two radio channels) only by way of example. The modulating units 12, 1~ output modulated IF
(Intermediate Frequenc~v) signals which are then combined at a multiplexer or a combiner 16. Each oE the combined IF signals undergoes frecluency conversion at a transmitter 18, which , 20 amplifies the Erequency converted 3b .

"

07~7 signals and transmits the same.
The modulating units 12, 14 are essentially the same in arrangement. Accordingly, only the construction of unit 12 is described in detail.
When initially operating the modulating unit 12, a t~ansmission channel determiner 20 is set to generate a channel number signal or code CHl and a channel identification signal or code CHCl. The channel number signal CH1 specifies a channel number assigned to the modulating unit 12~ A frequency synthesizer 22, in response to the channel signal CHl, outputs a local oscillating signal which corresponds to the signal CH1.
The channel identification signal CHCl specifies the corre.sponding channel number CHl. The identification signal CHCl needs not to be the same as the channel signal CHl. More specifically, in the case where (a) a plurality of channels are separated from each other by 25 kHz, (b) each of the channels is allocated to one carrier, (c) the channels are numbered se~uentially with respect to fre~uency and ~d) the ~requency deviation of each of received si.gnals falls within at most about ~ 50 kHZ; then it i~ ~u~ficient to represent the identification signal CHCl by the last three digits of the channel number signal C~Il. Therefore, if the channel number codQ CHl assigned to the modulating unit 12 is "00011" (binary), the channel identi~ication code CHCl assumes "011" (binary) instead of "00011". Fig. 3 is a table showing an example of the relationship between a channel number tCH) and a corresponding channel identification code (CHC).
A base band interface 24 converts a base band input data, applied thereto from a terminal unit (not shown), into a signal with a predetermined format, which is then applied to a multiplexer 26. A transmission frame pulse generator 28 counts clock pulses inputted , :

thereto and outputs a train of frame pulses FP each of which is generated upon counting up a preset number. The frame pulse FP is applied to the multiplexer 26. On the other hand, a unique word generator 30 supplies the multiplexer 26 with a unique word (UW). The aforesaid channel identification code CHCl is applied to the multiplexer 26. The multiplexer 26 receives the outputs of the blocks 20, 24, 28 and 30, and generates a signal whose foxmat is schematically shown in Fig. 4.
A modulator 32 generates a signal with a predetermined central frequency which is modulated by the output of the multiplexer 26. An up-converter 34 converts the frequency of the output of the modulator 32 using the local oscillating signal from the frequency synthesizer 22, and then generates the output thereo~ as a transmission IF signal. As above mentioned, the multiplexer or aombiner 16 is supplied with the outputs (IF signals) from the modula~ing units 12, 14, and applies its output (viz.,combined signal) to the transmitter 18.
Turning now to Fig~ 2, which shows in block diagram ~orm a receiving seation 50 forming part of the transceiver according to this invention. The receiving section 50 includes two demodulating units 52, 5~ (only by way of example), a receiver 56 and a demultiplexer or a distributor 58.
The demodulating units 52, 54 are essentially the same, so that only the construction of` unit 52 is - referred to in detail.
For the convenience of description, it is assumed that the demodulating unit 52 has been assigned to demodulate a channel 2 data but is in fact erroneously supplied with a channel 3 data due to a frequency drift incurred at a satellite transponder. The channels 2, 3 axe indicated by channel codes CH2, CH3, respectively.

~3~076~

A receive channel determiner 60 is initialized to generate two codes: one is the channel code CH2 and the other a channel identification code CHC2 which specifies the code CH2. When the demodulating unit 52 is initially operated, a receive channel controller 62 relays or passes the channel code CH2 to a frequency synthesizer 64. Consequently, the frequency synthesizer 64 generates a local oscillating signal according to the channel code CH2. A down-converter 66 is supplied with the local oscillating signal, and, frequency converts an IF signal applied from the demultiplexer 58 using the local oscillating signal applied. A demodulator 68 synchronously detects the output of the down-converter 66. A unique word detector 70, coupled to the demodulator 68, produces a unique word detection signal UWD upon detection of a unique word UW. On the other hand, a frame pulse detector 72, responsive to the signal UWD, generates a frame pulse FP and a sync state signal SS. A demultiplexer 74 extracts the channel identi~ication code CHC3 ~rom the output of the demodulator 68 using the frame pulse FP, while the demultiplex 74 applies a transmiited data to a baseband interface circuit 76.
As shown in Fig. 2, the channel identification code CHC3 extracted from the demultiplexer 74 is applied to a comparator 78 to which the aforesaid channel identification code CHC2 is also applied from the determiner 60. The controller 62 receives the output of the comparator 78, and controls, only while the sync state signal SS indicates the synchronous state of the unit 52, the frequency synthesizer 64 in a manner to shift the receive channel number toward one in this particular case~ When the frequency (or channel) correction is performed~ the signal SS indicates asynchronism for a predetermined time period (T1).

0C~767 NE-170 _ 7 _ However, upon the signal SS indicating asynchronism, the receive channel controller 62 starts to hold the output of the comparator 78 during a protection time period (T2) longer than T1. Accordingly, when the time duration T1 expires, the signal SS restores its sync state indication. At this time, the demodulator 52 have already demodulated the corract channel signal (viz., the channel 2 signal). In the case where the comparator 78 receives the channel identification code CHC2 from the demultiplexer 74l then the comparator 7~ output a signal indicative of coincidence or zero. In such a case, the receive channel controller 62 passes the channel code CH2 ' from the channel determiner 60 to the frequency synthesizer 64.
When khe demodulating unit 52 enters a stable state and thereafter the transmission terminates, the sync state signal SS indicates asnychronism. When the protection time duration T2 expires, the receive channel controller 62 returns to its initial state whereby the output of the receive channel determiner 60 is relayed to the synthesizer 64.
Further, in the case where the demodulating unit 52 goes out of synchronism due to an instantaneous disturbance, i~ unit 52 restores synchronism before the protection time period T2 lapses, correct signal reception is able to be carried out.
Fig. 5 illustrates another embodiment of a receiving section according to this invention. The Fig.
5 arrangement is essentially the same as the Fig. 2 arrangement and differs in that an AND gate 90 is further provided between the blocks 74 and 76. The AND gate 90 has one input coupled to the demultiplexer 74 and the other input coupled to the comparator 78. In this case, the comparator 78 has to be modified to generate a gate control output on a line 92 such that (a) the gate ~ ~3~07~'7 control output assumes a logic llll' if the two inputs of the comparator 78 coincides with each other and (bj otherwise, the gate control output assuems a logic "O".
As an alternative, the AND gate may be positioned after the baseband interface circuit 76. Further, the above-mentioned gate control signal may be derived ~rom the receive channel controller 62. According to the above-mentioned another embodiment, undesired channel signal is not allowed to be outputted from the demodulator.
The foregoing description shows only preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various modifications are apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of this invention which is only limited by the appended claims.
