A method of detecting an obtruding signal in a radio receiver, a receiver and a computer program are disclosed. The receiver has a mixer arranged to mix a received signal to an analog baseband signal at or close to zero-frequency, a filter arranged to low-pass filter said analog baseband signal, and an analog-to-digital converter arranged to sample said filtered analog baseband signal at a sample frequency such that a digital baseband signal is formed. The method comprised receiving a radio frequency signal, mixing the radio frequency signal to the analog baseband signal at or close to zero-frequency, low-pass filtering said analog baseband signal, and analog-to-digital converting said filtered analog baseband signal at an over sample frequency such that a digital baseband signal is formed. The method further comprises frequency translating the digital baseband signal around a Nyquist frequency being based on a nominal sample frequency, the nominal sample frequency being a fraction of the oversampling frequency according to the oversampling rate, to form a translated digital baseband signal such that signal content of the digital baseband signal around zero frequency will be translated to around the nominal sample frequency and vice versa in the translated digital baseband signal, determining a first signal level at zero frequency of the digital baseband signal and a second signal level at zero frequency of the translated digital baseband signal, detecting an obtruding signal based on a relation between the first and second signal levels, and outputting an obtruding signal state signal.

A method and a device of sampling an analog signal (U(t)) by obtaining first sequences of discrete sample values (S 1 I (t), S 1 Q (t)) of In-phase (I) and Quadrature-phase (Q) components (U i (t), U Q (t)) of the analog signall (U(t)) and second sequences of discrete sample values (S 2 I (t), S 2 Q (t)) of the I and Q components (U i (t), U Q (t)), by sampling of the I and Q components with sampling sequences (φ 1 (t), φ 2 (t)) having equal sampling rate (ω s ) and a mutual phase shift of 90° relative to their sampling rate period (T). The sample values of the I component of the first sequence (S 1 I (t)) and the sample values of the Q component of the second sequence (S 2 Q (t)) are summed (9) to form a third sequence of sample values S 3 (t). The sample values of the Q component of the first sequence (S 1 Q (t)) and the sample values of the I component of the second sequence S 2 I (t)) are summed (10) to form a fourth sequence of sample values (S 4 (t)). The third and fourth sequences of sample values (S 3 (t), S 4 (t)) are further processed during an interval of a particular period (T) of the third and fourth sequences (S 3 (t), S 4 (t)) and starting after the sample values of the first and second sequences (S 1 I (t), S 2 I (t), S 1 Q (t), S 2 Q (t)) of said period (T) are available.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing the contribution of noise to digitally sampled signals includes a statistical processor and a slope limiter. The statistical processor determines an average value (mean and/or standard deviation) of the filtered signal which is used to determine a slope limit corresponding to an expected maximum first derivative value of a target signal frequency. This slope limit is applied to constrain the output of an analog to digital converter, to prevent the output of the analog to digital converter from exceeding this maximum rate of rise or fall. By constraining the output of the analog to digital converter, it is possible to digitally sample analog signals without first utilizing an anti-aliasing filter, since the post processing of the digitally sampled signals limits the contribution of the higher frequency components of the signal to thereby enable a fully digital sampling and filtering circuit to be provided for receiving signals.

A self-tuning filter is disclosed. The self-tuning filter includes a digital clocking signal and an input coupled to the digital clocking signal, whereby the input reads a value incident on the input when the digital clocking signal changes to a predetermined state. A clock-tunable filter is, furthermore, coupled to the digital clocking signal so that the frequency of the clock-tunable filter is adjusted in relation to a sampling frequency at which the digital clocking signal operates. The self-tuning filter may be applied to an input of a data acquisition unit and applied to an input having a variable sampling frequency. A method of controlling the frequency of a clock-tunable filter is also disclosed.
摘要:
Werden bei der Abtastung von analogen Signalen unterschiedliche Abtastfrequenzen zugelassen, tritt das Problem auf, daß die Tiefpaßfilterung vor der Abtastung der jeweiligen Abtastfrequenz angepaßt sein muß, um Interferenzstörungen (Aliasing) zu vermeiden, bzw. um die gewünschte Signalbandbreite vollständig abtasten zu können. Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung wird diese Anpassung auf einfache Weise und mit geringem Aufwand dadurch erreicht, daß ein Filter mit geschalteten Kapazitäten verwendet wird, dessen Grenzfrequenz durch eine entsprechend gewählte Taktfrequenz an die jeweilige Abtastfrequenz angepaßt werden kann.
