Abstract

A multiplex signal processing apparatus in a singal transmitting and receiving system includes at the transmitting side: a first amplitude-modulator for modulating a first carrier by a main signal to obtain a vestigial sideband, amplitude-modulated main signal; a second amplitude-modulator for modulating a second carrier which has the same frequency but differs in phase by 90.degree. from the first carrier by a multiplex signal to obtain a double sideband, amplitude-modulated multiplex signal; an inverse Nyquist filter for filtering this signal to obtain a vestigial sideband, amplitude-modulated multiplex signal; and an adder for adding the vestigial sideband, amplitude-modulated main and multiplex signals to obtain a multiplexed signal. The apparatus at the receiving side includes: a Nyquist filter for filtering the multiplexed signal; a carrier regenerator for regenerating the first and second carriers from the multiplexed signal; a main signal detector for detecting the main signal from the multiplexed signal passed through the Nyquist filter by using the first carrier; a filter for removing quadrature distortion from the multiplexed signal; and a multiplex signal detector for d…
