Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0597588A2] In a digital radio-relay system having a transmitting terminal station (10), at least one repeater station (100), and a receiving terminal station (50), a repeater station (100) is a non-regenerative repeater station which does not regenerate a digital signal in order to simplify and reduce cost of the system, while keeping excellent signal quality in transmission. Each repeater station has a plurality of sub-units relating to respective sub-system signals each having a plurality of carriers (A, B, C) so that frequency spectrum of each sub-system signal is allocated on frequency axis based upon frequency division multiplex system. A repeater station (50) having a first frequency converter (112) to convert received radio frequency to IF frequency, bandpass filters (132) for deriving one of carriers (A, B, C) in each sub-system signal, amplifiers (134) to amplify thus derived carrier (A, B, C) on IF band stage, and a second frequency converter (138) to convert the IF frequency to radio frequency, has a common reference oscillator (104) which generates reference frequency which is common divisor of all the local frequencies for all the radio frequencies of all the sub-system signals, and, only one of upper heterodyne signals and lower heterodyne signals are taken in all the frequency conversions, so that distortion in each relay section is added in-phase, and that leaked noise (A', B', C') caused by said bandpass filters is added to original carrier (A, B, C) in-phase. All the distortion thus added in the relay sections can be compensated by a transversal equalizer (65) in the receiving terminal station. Therefore, excellent signal quality is obtained although a simple non-regenerative repeater station is used. <IMAGE>
