Method for transmitting data packets on carrier frequency with linear variation and transmitter and receiver implementing this method

摘要

A method for transmitting data packets having a heading followed by a data field. The data of the field is transmitted by groups of symbols. According to the OFDM technique, subcarriers modulated by the groups are generated. A frequency modulation of a carrier signal delivered by a linear ramp generator is produced with a set of modulated subcarriers. When the signal is received, mixing with a linear ramp results in subcarriers which are separated and then demodulated for supplying data. This is useful for transmitting data packets particularly in wide band networks.
