     - Carrier recovery of 16-QAM signals, for example
     - Applicable to an OFDM receiver

Abstracts
It is possible to realize an ideal software reception device which can demodulate a higher-order modulation signal without losing vector information even if a carrier wave is sampled with a frequency lower than the carrier wave. A sampling frequency is set so that a phase relationship of the sampling point of an alias signal generated by sampling of a carrier wave with a sampling frequency lower than the carrier wave coincides with a phase relationship of the sampling point of the carrier. That is, the sampling frequency is set so that the carrier wave frequency 'fc' and the sampling frequency 'fs' satisfy the relationship fs = 4fc/(4k + 1), wherein k is a positive integer. Thus, it is possible to perform undersampling of the carrier wave while holding the vector information and demodulate a higher-order modulation such as QPSK and 64QAM.
