A millimeter band transmitter transmits one or more indirect path signal waves from the main lobe of a transmit antenna, and a direct path signal wave is transmitted in a side lobe of the transmit antenna. A receiver simultaneously receives each of the indirect and direct path signal waves if the receive antenna is unobstructed. If the direct line of sight path between the transmitter and receiver is blocked, the receiver only receives one or more of the indirect path signal waves.

Millimeter band signal transmitting/receiving system having function of transmitting/receiving millimeter band signal and house provided with the same

In order to receive satellite broadcasting (BS and CS) and terrestrial broadcasting (VHF and UHF), complicated wiring is required in a personal residence for transmitting broadcasting signals to a plurality of TV receivers while new distributors must be additionally set for installing additional TV receivers in a condominium previously provided with distributors limiting the number of settable TV receivers. The inventive millimeter wave communication system forms power supply paths by simply connecting a BS/CS antenna with a millimeter wave transmitter and connecting an electronic apparatus such as a TV receiver with a millimeter wave receiver through connectors or the like while transmitting/receiving broadcasting signals by millimeter wave radio communication without employing wires such as coaxial cables indoors.

Millimeter wave transmitter, millimeter wave receiver and millimeter wave communication system enabling simplification of wiring and improvement in degree of freedom for setting receiver in receiving system for terrestrial broadcasting and satellite broadcasting

A signal to be displayed that is output from a display signal source is upconverted and transmitted in the form of a millimeter-wave which is in turn downconverted and supplied to a flat display and displayed there.
