摘要:
The invention relates to a reception arrangement (3) for a control device in a vehicle, comprising a voltage generator (30) for generating a synchronisation pulse, said synchronisation pulse being generated with a predetermined shape and a predetermined time behaviour inside predetermined specification limits, wherein the reception arrangement (3) outputs the synchronisation pulse for synchronising a signal transmission via a data bus (5) to at least one sensor (7). The invention further relates to a method for generating such a synchronisation pulse. According to the invention, the voltage generator (30) comprises a voltage amplifier (36) which, on the basis of a reference voltage (Uref), generates the synchronisation pulse substantially as a sinusoidal oscillation.

The invention provides a method and apparatus for achieving timing synchronization during signal acquisition and for achieving frequency synchronization in a digital communication receiver after signal acquisition. The apparatus comprises: a receiving mechanism adapted to receive a signal containing a plurality of data slots with a sync word within each transmitted data slot; a correlator for forming multiple correlations, each corresponding to a selected sync symbol interval and for correlating the received signal with a sinusoid of an expected frequency for each of the selected sync symbol intervals; a combiner for gathering and combining the multiple correlations over a set of small offset frequencies, according to the FSK modulation index and known sync symbol pattern; a peak detector, which forms a sync correlation signal according to the maximum combiner output amplitude, among the candidate offset frequencies, at each time instant; a threshold detector, which, at each time instant, compares the sync correlation signal to a threshold; a symbol timing estimator, which, upon detecting that the sync correlation has exceeded the threshold, establishes symbol timing in accordance with the peak of the sync correlation signal. The apparatus additionally comprises a frequency offset estimator for formulating an offset estimate using known and estimated symbols and a quality estimating tool for determining a quality of the frequency offset estimate using a signal-to-noise ratio calculation.

A method and system for synchronization between a transmitter and a receiver in a communication system is provided. The receiver receives a plurality of signals from the transmitter. According to this method, a frequency burst is detected in the received signal at the receiver. The detected frequency burst is then validated on the basis of a synchronization burst in the received signal. Finally, the frequency and timing information present in the received signal is acquired for synchronization with the transmitter. The frequency and timing information is acquired on the basis of the validated frequency burst.

A clock timing recovery circuit comprises clock generating means for generating a system clock which repeats with a fixed period. A phase shift means outputs a first clock, phase-shifted with respect to the system clock, as the clock timing for sampling the baseband signal obtained by detection of the received signal. Control means are provided for controlling the amount of phase shift of the phase shift means. A sampling clock generating means generates a second clock with leading or trailing edge points which lead the leading or trailing edge points of the first clock by a predefined timing difference δt. It also generates a third clock with leading or trailing edge points which lag behind the leading or trailing edge points of the first clock by δt. The control means includes arithmetic means which calculates the amount of phase shift of the phase shift means by comparing information relating to the phase error of the clock timing, the information being obtained respectively from the sampled signals obtained by sampling the baseband signal using the second and third clocks as the respective sampling clocks.

Synchronization is maintained among a plurality of network devices (102,...) having local clocks. A first packet including global time reference (606) derived from local clock is broadcast from a first network device to other devices. The clocks of the network devices are adjusted. The difference between a free running clock and a first network global time reference is determined (610). A first network offset is calculated (612). Similarly, a second network offset is calculated to account for the difference between the free running clock and the second network global time reference.

A phase-calculation circuit (46) includes a buffer (42), an approximation circuit (70), and an interpolator (56). The buffer receives and stores first and second samples of a periodic signal having a peak amplitude. The approximation circuit (70) linearly approximates a portion of the periodic signal, and calculates the relative phase of one of the samples within the signal portion. The interpolator (56) calculates the absolute phase of that sample with respect to a predetermined point of the signal using the relative phase and the values of the first and second samples. The circuit is used to decrease the alignment-acquisition time of a digital timing-recovery loop, and allows a shortening of the preamble and a corresponding increase in the data-storage density of a disk. The circuit may determine an initial phase difference between a disk-drive read signal and a read-signal sample clock. The digital timing-recovery circuit uses this phase difference to provide an initial coarse alignment between the read signal and the sample clock and reduces the overall alignment-acquisition time.
