Abstract

A multi-channel modulator for the transmission of telephony signals within a broadband communication system. An interpolation module generates processed I and Q signal components by upsampling filtered I and Q signal components. In turn, these processed I and Q signal components output by a filter are passed to a set of channel modulators. Each channel modulator accepts a pair of processed I and Q signal components and, in response, modulates a selected carrier signal with one of the telephony signals to produce a complex modulated signal. An adder module responds to the complex modulated signals by summing the real signal components to produce a real resultant signal, and to sum the imaginary components to produce an imaginary resultant signal. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) module coverts the real resultant signal and the imaginary resultant signal, which are represented by digital data streams, to analog signals. A transmitter, responsive to the analog signals, transmits the modulated signals within a frequency band of the broadband communications network.
