摘要:
Clipping a widely-separated, multi-carrier signal is effectively performed without having to use a high sampling speed. Clipping is performed in a first stage at a combined signal level, but with a predetermined carrier separation of at least twice the channel bandwidth (2CBW), followed by repositioning the carriers at baseband zero frequency. After clipping, carriers are placed at their respective center frequencies with full carrier separation reintroduced in a second stage. Iterative clipping stages smooth out signal reshaping and re-settled amplitudes for combined carriers.

A heterodyne receiver structure comprises a frequency conversion block arranged to convert an incoming analogue radio frequency (RF) signal to an analogue intermediate frequency (IF) signal; a filter block arranged to filter said analogue IF signal; and an analogue-to-digital (AD) converter block arranged to convert said filtered analogue IF signal to a digital signal, wherein the AD converter block (309) is arranged to convert the filtered analogue IF signal to the digital signal by using a sampling frequency (fs) which is at least N times a maximum bandwidth of the filtered analogue IF signal, wherein the frequency spectrum from zero to the sampling frequency is divided into N frequency zones of equal width, wherein N is an even positive number higher than two; the frequency conversion block (304) is arranged to convert the incoming analogue RF signal to the analogue IF signal such that the analogue IF signal is located in any of the N/2-1 frequency zones having lowest frequency; and the filter block (306-308) is arranged to low pass the analogue IF signal such that any disturbing signal located in a zone, which would have a mirror image after the AD conversion in the zone, in which the analogue IF signal is located, is filtered away, wherein the heterodyne receiver structure further comprises a digital signal processing block (311) arranged to filter said digital signal.

An efficient apparatus for performing frequency conversion from a final IF frequency to a baseband frequency is described. A counter (401) generates two logical signals G1 (402) and G2 (403) which are passed to an exclusive-OR gate (404) and a multiplexer (406). When a control signal (411) is deasserted, multiplexer (406) passes signal G1 to I1 and signal G2 to I2; when control signal (411) is asserted, multiplexer (406) passes binary signal G1 to I2 (410) and signal G2 to I1 (407). Similarly, multiplexer (405) swaps its input real and imaginary samples when the output of exclusive-OR gate (404) is asserted; otherwise, it performs no operation on its input samples. Signals I1 (407) and I2 (410) are used to control arithmetic inverters (408) and (409) respectively. When the controlling signal for either inverter is asserted, the inventer performs arithmetic inversion, otherwise it performs no operation.
摘要:
The invention, which relates to a method and an arrangement for signal processing in a receiver that can be tuned to different carriers, is based on the object of providing a method and an associated circuit arrangement for signal processing whereby the outlay in the development and production of receivers that support a plurality of standards and the space requirement on the chip arc reduced. According to the invention, the object formulated is achieved according to the method by virtue of the fact that the energy of the adjacent carriers N + 1 and N - 1, wherein a carrier N contains a signal of interest and the receiver is tuned to it, is determined from the digital signal, in that the energy value of the carriers N + 1 and N - 1 determined are compared with a threshold value, in that in the case where the threshold value is exceeded, a frequency shift of the signal by +Δ f or -Δ f is effected in the second method step prior to the filtering, and in that the frequency shift thus produced is reversed by a frequency shift by -Δ f or +Δ f in the fourth method step prior to the filtering and the signal is decoded.
