Abstract
A distortion compensating device provided in a receiver for compensating distortion which is added to a signal in a transmission path. The signal is generated in a multi-level modulator of a transmitter of which a digital signal is mapped to one of a plurality of specified signal points in a signal space diagram. The device includes discrimination circuits for discriminating a received signal according to threshold lines partitioning the signal space diagram into discrimination areas, the threshold lines being defined so that the discrimination areas on an outer side of the signal space diagram having each an area greater than an area of each of the discrimination areas on an inner side of the signal space diagram and a selection circuit for selecting one of a plurality of threshold line patterns based on a level of the received signal which is discriminated according to a selected threshold line pattern.
