In a digital communication system, a sync word is generated at intervals at the transmitting end and appended to a data bit stream having redundant bits generated by an error correction encoder. The sync word indicates the position of the redundant bits in the data bit stream. At a receiving end of the system, a syndrome generator is responsive to the data bit stream for deriving therefrom a syndrome and applying it to the error corrector to cause it to correct error which may exist in the data bit stream. A word synchronizer detects the sync word contained in one of the syndromes and causes the syndrome generator to establish synchronism with the data bit stream. The word synchronizer includes a detector for detecting a prescribed set of binary states in the syndromes which indicate that there is no errors in the data bit stream and causing the syndrome generator to generate a syndrome synchronously with data words in the data bit stream.

An equalizer is provided with a branching device for branching a digitally modulated signal into two outputs. A series of weighting devices weights one of the outputs of the branching means, and a series of second weighting devices equal to or fewer in number than the first weighting devices weights the remaining output of the branching means. Combining elements equal in number to the first weighting devices combine two or three inputs, and delaying means fewer in number than the combining elements are interconnected with the combining elements in a sequential, alternating manner. The outputs of the first weighting devices are respectively applied to the combining elements while those of the second weighting devices are respectively applied to selected ones of the combining elements. The invention provides a construction where the number of taps of the equalizer may be easily increased without creating the necessity of combining circuits having an increased number of inputs.

In a multilevel modulator for use in modulating an input digital signal of N levels into a multilevel modulated signal, the input digital signal is converted by a code converting unit into a major converted signal for the input digital signal and a minor converted signal corresponding to the major converted signal. The major converted signal is rearranged into groups each of which consists of a predetermined number of levels smaller than N and which is produced in a time division fashion together with with minor converted signal. A signal producing unit processes each group to produce a Lee-error correcting code sequence. Alternatively, major and minor converted signals are produced on quadrature-phase amplitude modulation of a circular signal arrangement of N-levels to divide the circular signal arrangement into a square signal arrangement and the remaining signal arrangement. In a counterpart multilevel demodulator, an inverse operation is carried out to reproduce the input digital signal.

A channel quality monitoring apparatus provided in terminal equipment of digital radio communication system comprises a syndrome generator circuit responsive to a digital multiplexed signal of a receiving signal, a signal converter circuit for converting an error-corrected digital multiplexed signal into a digital multiplexed signal with which a predetermined parity detection is possible, a parity detector circuit for effecting a parity detection of the digital multiplexed signal from the signal converter circuit, and computing circuitry configured as an error rate detector circuit responsive to outputs from the syndrome generator means and the parity detector circuit. When occurrence of code error detected on the basis of the syndrome continues for the duration more than a predetermined time period, the computing circuitry is operative to compute an error rate of the receiving digital multiplexed signal on the basis of the syndrome. In contrast, when occurrence of code error detected continues for the duration equal to or less than the predetermined time period, the computing circuitry is operative to compute an error rate of the receiving digital multiplexed signal on the basis of the output from the parity detector circuit. Thus, this apparatus provides an improved detection accuracy of a channel error rate in the equipment of receiving and demodulating system.
