摘要:
Modern digital signals include framing. A known sequence of transmission symbols (Unique Word (UW)) included in the transmitted signal may be used by a receiver for framing synchronization. A receiver configured to receive such a signal may be configured to detect the UW even when the signal is received with some frequency uncertainty (e.g. offset or error). A method is presented for fast acquisition of symbol and/or frame timing of a signal, including in the presence of frequency uncertainty. In some embodiments, the presented method may be used for determining a frequency offset of the received signal and a location of a unique word (UW) within a frame of the received signal, wherein said determining is based on a two-dimensional search map.

In a multivalue modulation type with one pilot symbol inserted for every 3 or more symbols, signal points of each one symbol immediately before and after a pilot symbol are modulated using a modulation type different from that for pilot symbols. In this way, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the accuracy in estimating the reference phase and amount of frequency offset by pilot symbols and improve the bit error rate characteristic in the signal to noise ratio in quasi-coherent detection with symbols whose symbol synchronization is not completely established.

The present invention relates to a frequency-control unit (310) for use in controlling an external controllable reference- frequency source. The frequency-control unit comprises a filter unit (314) with a controllable filter parameter (k), which is configured to derive, using the filter parameter, from a frequency-error signal (FOE) a frequency-control signal (FOC) for minimizing the frequency error of the reference frequency; and a correlation unit (314.3), which is configured to determine from frequency errors (FOE) of the reference frequency at different points in time (n, n+1) a correlation measure indicative of a correlation between the frequency errors (FOE) at the different points in time. The frequency-control unit is configured to adapt the controllable filter parameter (k) of the filter unit in dependence on the determined correlation measure. In particular embodiments presented, the value of the filter parameter (k) depends also on a receiver path strength, such as a RSCP value.

In a receiver, a decision-directed phase estimator is used in conjunction with an interpolator to provide a phase estimate for use in carrier recovery. For example, a receiver comprises a pilot phase estimator, a Costas loop and an interpolation controller. The pilot phase estimator provides determined phase estimates at the pilot times and the interpolation controller provides interpolated phase estimates at other times as a function of a linear interpolation based on a respective determined phase estimate and at least one decision-directed phase error estimate from the Costas loop.
摘要:
An electronic, programmable filter is disclosed which selectively removes interference, noise or distortion components from a frequency band without perturbing any of the other signals of the band. An input frequency band such as a television channel spectrum is initially demodulated to baseband and applied to the input of the filter. The baseband spectrum is combined in a complex mixer with a synthesized frequency signal that shifts the spectrum a characteristic amount, in the frequency domain, so as to position an interference component in the region about DC. Once shifted, the frequency components about DC are removed by DC canceler circuit and the resulting spectrum is mixed with a subsequent synthesized frequency signal which shifts the spectrum back to its original representation and baseband. The frequency signals are developed by a programmable frequency synthesizer which a user may program with an intelligence signal that defines the frequency location of an interference signal within the spectrum. Filter blocks may be added or subtracted in order to optimize the filter response for any number of interference components for which rejection is desired.
