Signal generating method and signal generating device
View Patent ↗A transmission method of simultaneously transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal at a common frequency performs precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals. One of signal generation processing in which phase change is performed and signal generation processing in which phase change is not performed is selectable, thereby improving general versatility in signal generation.
1. A television reception device comprising:
a receiver receiving a multiplexed signal that includes a first desired signal at a first frequency and a second desired signal at a second frequency;
a branch splitter outputting a first branch signal and a second branch signal that are each identical to the multiplexed signal;
a frequency converter performing frequency conversion on at least one of the first branch signal and the second branch signal, such that the first desired signal at the first frequency included in the first branch signal and the second desired signal at the second frequency included in the second branch signal exist at the same frequency; and
a detector performing MIMO detection with use of the first branch signal and the second branch signal, at least one of which has undergone the frequency conversion, wherein
the multiplexed signal is obtained by performing frequency conversion on a first reception signal and a second reception signal, and multiplexing the first reception signal and the second reception signal which have undergone the frequency conversion,
the frequency conversion is performed on the first reception signal and the second reception signal, such that a frequency of the first reception signal and a frequency of the second reception signal are the first frequency and the second frequency, respectively,
the first reception signal is obtained by receiving a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal at a first antenna, and the second reception signal is obtained by receiving the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal at a second antenna,
the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal each have undergone a phase change process in which a signal phase is changed while a change degree thereof is regularly varied, and
the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal have been transmitted from separate antennas at the same time at the same frequency.
