A modulator and demodulator apparatus for use with a network is provided. The modulator and demodulator apparatus comprises a modulation section which includes a timing phase discrimination section for receiving, as an input signal thereto, a demodulation vector signal sampled into a digital value and discriminating to which one of a plurality of regions of a discrimination plane the phase of the input signal belongs. The timing phase discrimination section supplies, as an input to a next processing stage, a rotation vector obtained by rotating an input vector, moves the rotation vector to a quadrant which includes a reference discrimination region of the discrimination plane and performs, when the vector after the movement is not in the reference discrimination region, a predetermined calculation. When the vector after the movement comes to the reference discrimination region, another calculation is performed. This discriminates a timing phase of the input vector from the result of the calculation. |
