The invention relates to a signal intended to be transmitted towards a plurality of receivers, of the type comprising at least two source signals and consisting of a plurality of independently modulated substantially orthogonal carrier frequencies distributed over a predetermined frequency band. According to the invention, the frequency band is divided into at least two frequency sub-bands each comprising a set of the substantially orthogonal carrier frequencies, and to each of the sub-bands is allocated one of the source signals, so that a receiver may retrieve from the transmitted signal, by filtration, at least one of the sub-bands and perform demodulation processing only on the carrier frequencies contained in the retrieved sub-bands. The invention also relates to a transmission process as well as to a receiver of such signal.

OFDM signal organized so as to simplify reception

The invention relates to a signal intended to be transmitted towards a plurality of receivers, of the type comprising at least two source signals and consisting of a plurality of independently modulated substantially orthogonal carrier frequencies distributed over a predetermined frequency band. According to the invention, said frequency band (,) is divided into at least two frequency sub-bands (13,-13,) each comprising a set of said substantially orthogonal carrier frequencies (,), and to each of said sub-bands is allocated one of said source signals, so that a receiver may retrieve from the transmitted signal, by filtration, at least one of said sub-bands and perform demodulation processing only on the carrier frequencies contained in the retrieved sub-bands. The invention also relates to a transmission process as well as to a receiver of such signal.
