Abstract

See full text

In a multi-level QAM communication system, Reed-Solomon encoders and Reed-Solomon decoders are employed for error correction purposes. The phase ambiguity of the received signal is eliminated with differential coding. The multi-level QAM communication system utilizing n bits ('n' being an integer) QAM signal having 2.sup.n signal points, comprises: a quadrature differential encoder/decoder unit for differentially encoding/decoding n pieces of input digital signal series to produce n pieces of differentially coded signal series; an error correction unit including a Reed-Solomon encoder and a Reed-Solomon decoder, provided inside the quadrature differential encoder/decoder unit along a signal processing path of the input digital signal series, for error-correcting the n pieces of differentially-coded signal series by utilizing at least one of the digital signal series with employment of a Reed-Solomon code; and, a QAM modulator/demodulator unit for QAM-modulating/demodulating n pieces of error-corrected signal series so as to produce 2.sup.n QAM signals.
