ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a modulation apparatus and method in which the modulation apparatus is realized with a simple circuit structure and is easily applicable to other systems. A pattern conversion unit32converts data having a basic data length of 2 bits supplied from a DSV control bit determination and insertion unit31into a variable-length code having a basic code length of 3 bits in accordance with a conversion table. A minimum-run-length limitation code detection unit33detects, from a data sequence containing a DSV control bit, the position of minimum runs consecutive from a channel bit string converted by the pattern conversion unit32. A consecutive-minimum-run replacement unit34replaces a predetermined portion of the channel bit string supplied from the pattern conversion unit32for a predetermined pattern based on the position information supplied from the minimum-run-length limitation code detection unit33, and limits the minimum run length to a predetermined number or less. The present invention is applicable to a modulation apparatus.
