Abstract

See full text

A system is disclosed which provides a significantly enhanced transmission rate for digital data transmitted over a channel, while also providing immunity to signal interference caused by multipath reception. One embodiment of the system transmits a signal containing digital data in the vertical blanking interval of a television signal. Before being transmitted, the digital data is modulated by a process called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, or OFDM. A guard interval is optionally prefixed to the front end of the data signal to provide additional immunity to multipath interference. A further feature of the present system is the optional inclusion in the transmitted signal of an error correcting code which allows detection and correction of multiple sequential data transmission errors.
