Abstract

A transmission device that includes: a radio signal transmission processing section that transmits a radio carrier wave overlaid with transmitting information after being modulated by pulse position modulation; an optical signal transmission processing section that transmits an optical carrier wave overlaid with the transmitting information after being modulated by the pulse position modulation; and a baseband processing section that modulates the transmitting information in accordance with the pulse position modulation of shared use with the radio signal transmission processing section and the optical signal transmission processing section.

Claims (10)

1. A system comprising:

a transmission device, comprising:

a control section that generates transmitting information;

a baseband processing section that generates modulated information by modulating the transmitting information in accordance with pulse position modulation;

a radio signal transmission processing section that transmits a radio carrier wave overlaid with the modulated information; and

an optical signal transmission processing section that transmits an optical carrier wave overlaid with the modulated information; and

a reception device, comprising:

a radio signal reception processing section that receives a radio carrier wave overlaid with first receiving information;

an optical signal reception processing section that receives an optical carrier wave overlaid with second receiving information; and

a baseband processing section that demodulates both the first receiving information and the second receiving information in accordance with pulse position modulation.
