Abstract

A radio communication system includes a transmitter unit, a transmission line, and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit modulates an in-phase-channel (I-ch) data signal and quadrature-channel (Q-ch) data signal with two carriers having a .pi./2 phase difference with each other. A DC offset is added to either one of the I-ch and Q-ch data signals before they are modulated. In the receiver unit, a demodulation operation is performed, for the received transmission signal, by a synchronous detection with the use of a leakage carrier created due to the DC offset and included in the transmission signal.
