Abstract

A transmission system for transmitting a data signal with an analog passband signal through a analog transmission line. The data signal is transformed to a signal representing a descrete data signal point in a vector signal space. The analog passband signal is transformed to a base band signal, and the base band signal is superimposed on the signal representing a descrete data signal point. A signal representing the superimposed data signal point is modulated and transmitted through the analog transmission line. In a receiver, the data signal point is decided from the signal representing the superimposed data signal point, and the superimposed base band signal is extracted by subtracting the decided result from the signal representing the superimposed data signal point. The base band signal is transformed to the analog passband signal. A portion of information carried by the analog passband signal may be converted to a digital signal, and the digital signal is multiplexed with the data signal. Further, a portion of information of each of a plurality of analog passband signals may be converted to a digital signal, and the digital signal is multiplexed with each other, and the other …
