Abstract
Many mobile radio communication systems require digital signaling simultaneously from multiple transmitters from the viewpoints of efficient frequency utilization and simplified receiver construction. A new modulation scheme intended to realize simulcast digital transmission is described. In this method, a modulation signal is made by superimposing a specific wave on an ordinary rectangular digital wave. The two conditions necessary for obtaining a diversity effect equivalent to the maximal-ratio combining are mathematically derived. The specific waves for the various transmitters may be sinusoidal waves having a frequency equal to the original bit rate, and phases which differ from one transmitter to another. In order to clarify the feasibility of this technique, experimental simulation tests have been performed in the 900-MHz band in a two-transmitter configuration. It is proved that this modulation scheme, in comparison with the carrier-frequency offset strategy, not only gives the same amount of improvement in digital signaling in an overlapped area, but also makes the allowable carrier frequency drift more than ten times larger.
