Abstract: An interpolator or decimator includes an elastic storage element in the signal path between first and second clock domains. The elastic element may, for example, be a FIFO which advantageously allows short term variation in sample clocks to be absorbed. A feedback mechanism controls a delta-sigma modulated modulo-N counter based sample clock generator. The elastic element combined with a delta-sigma modulator and counter creates a noise-shaped frequency lock loop without additional components, resulting in a much simplified interpolator and decimator.

Abstract: A clock offset compensation arrangement may include a fractional interpolator for applying a trigonometric interpolation to a sampled input signal according to a clock offset signal. It uses transform-based processing in the frequency domain. Compared to a polynomial type interpolation it may be easier to implement, and may achieve a closer approximation to an ideal interpolation. It may reduce the effects of non-linear type errors introduced by truncation of higher powers. The arrangement may be applied to receivers or transmitters of multi-carrier modems, as well as other applications which use rate adaptation or synchronization.

Abstract: Successive groups of N bits are delivered at a delivery frequency Fe greater than a predetermined frequency PRF. At least one of the successive groups includes at least one subgroup of at least one bit defining at least one digital cue of position and of shape of at least one base pulse within a window of length 1/PRF. This digital cue is converted into the base pulse, and the base pulse is filtered using a high-pass filter for providing a pulse of the ultra wideband type within the window with a temporal accuracy equal to 1/N*Fe.

Abstract: The successive values of the digital symbols which can each take M different possible values are estimated on the basis of the successive values of digital samples each of which results from the combination of at most L successive symbols. This estimation includes a stage by stage progression through a trellis of the Viterbi type with Mk states, with k being less than or equal to Lnull1. All the states of all the stages are respectively provided with aggregate metrics. When taking into account the sample of rank n, all the transitions arriving at the various states of the current stage of the trellis are partitioned into M groups, each group containing all the transitions arising from the states of the preceding stage which are associated with one of the M possible values of the symbol of rank nnullk. The various aggregate metrics are calculated for these various states of the current stage of the trellis. One of the transitions which leads to the state provided with a extremum aggregate metric is determined in each group. A unique decision is taken regarding the value of the symbol of rank nnullk by detecting the group associated with the extremum of these M extremum aggregate metrics. This unique decision is provided with a symbol-confidence index formulated from these M extremum aggregate metrics.

Abstract: Interpolator and decimator apparatuses and methods are improved by the addition of an elastic storage element in the signal path. In one exemplary embodiment, the elastic element comprises a FIFO which advantageously allows short term variation in sample clocks to be absorbed, and also provides a feedback mechanism for controlling a delta-sigma modulated modulo-N counter based sample clock generator. The elastic element combined with a delta-sigma modulator and counter creates a noise-shaped frequency lock loop without additional components, resulting in a much simplified interpolator and decimator.

Abstract: A method is for decoding a pulse signal modulated through a transmitted reference modulation scheme.
