Abstract

A simultaneous broadcasting system, a transmitter, and a receiver therefor use a first frequency bandwidth for a wide area broadcasting and a second frequency bandwidth for a local area broadcasting obtained by dividing a frequency bandwidth of one broadcasting channel. In the simultaneous broadcasting system, a same program for the wide area broadcasting is transmitted based on an OFDM modulation method by using the first frequency bandwidth and a different program for each local area station is transmitted by using a different spreading code allocated for each local are station based on a SS modulation method.
