Transmitter apparatus and communication system employing the same
First Claim
1. A transmitter apparatus comprising:
- a modulator for modulating a carrier wave to produce a modulated wave having communication data superimposed thereon; and
a transmitter for transmitting the modulated wave to a receiver apparatus,wherein the communication data is capable of being communicated on a frame-by-frame basis, each frame including a start of frame indicator indicating a head of the frame, character data conforming to a character transmission protocol, and an end of frame indicator indicating a tail of the frame, andbefore starting transmission of the communication data, the modulator superimposes a dummy pulse on the carrier wave, the dummy pulse bringing a logic state of a demodulated wave demodulated in the receiver apparatus into a logic state that is different from the start of frame indicator and in which the demodulated wave is kept when no communication is taking place.

Abstract
A transmitter apparatus has a modulator for modulating a carrier wave to produce a modulated wave having communication data superimposed thereon and a transmitter for transmitting the modulated wave to a receiver apparatus. Before starting communication, the transmitter apparatus transmits a predetermined dummy pulse to the receiver apparatus so as to bring the communication data restored by demodulation in the receiver apparatus into a logic state in which the communication data should be kept when no communication is taking place. This makes it possible to perform correct communication even if the communication data demodulated in the receiver apparatus before the start of communication is not kept in the logic state in which it should be kept when no communication is taking place.
