摘要:
A method and apparatus for estimating and correcting baseband frequency error in a receiver. In one embodiment, an equalizer performs equalization on a sample data stream and generates filter tap values based on the equalization. An estimated frequency error signal is generated based on at least one of the filter tap values. A rotating phasor is generated based on the estimated frequency error signal. The rotating phasor signal is multiplied with the sample data stream to correct the frequency of the sample data stream. In another embodiment, a channel estimator performs channel estimation and generates Rake receiver finger weights based on at least one of the finger weights. An estimated frequency error signal is generated based on at least one of the finger weights.
摘要:
A receiver which includes at least one equalizer filter and a tap coefficients generator for implementing receive diversity. The equalizer filter processes a signal derived from signals received by a plurality of antennas. In one embodiment, sample data streams from the antennas are merged into one sample data stream. The merged sample data stream is processed by a single extended equalizer filter, whereby filter coefficients are adjusted in accordance with a joint error signal. A filter coefficient correction term used by the equalizer filter is generated by the tap coefficients generator using a normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm. In another embodiment, a plurality of equalizer filters are utilized, whereby each equalizer receives a sample data stream from a specific one of the antennas. In yet another embodiment, the sample data streams are combined after being processed by a plurality of matched filters based on respective estimated channel impulse responses.
摘要:
An adaptive equalizer including an equalizer filter and a tap coefficients generator used to process a sample data stream derived from a plurality of received signals is disclosed. The tap coefficients generator includes an equalizer tap update unit, a vector norm square estimator, an active taps mask generator, a switch and a pilot amplitude reference unit used to minimize the dynamic range of the equalizer filter. A dynamic mask vector is used to mask active taps generated by the equalizer tap update unit when an unmasked signal output by the equalizer filter is selected by the switch to generate an error signal fed to the equalizer tap update unit. A fixed mask vector is used to mask active taps generated by the equalizer tap update unit when a masked signal output by the equalizer filter is used to generate the error signal.
摘要:
A method and apparatus generating an error signal (156) and an update vector signal (124) used to generate filter tap coefficients (128) for an equalizer filter (130) residing in an equalizer (100). The equalizer filter (130) outputs an equalized signal (132) in response to receiving a sample data stream (102). The error signal (156) is generated by down-sampling (140) the equalized signal (132), subtracting (144) the equalized signal (132) from a reference signal (146) and filtering (150) and down-sampling (154) the resulting signal. Simultaneously, the update vector signal (124) is generated by converting scalar samples of the sample data stream (102) to a data vector signal (106) and descrambling 116, filtering (118), and down-sampling (122) the data vector signal (106). A tap coefficients generator (126) is used to generate the filter tap coefficients (128) for updating the equalizer filter (130) based on the error signal (156) and the update vector signal (124).
