    摘要: A communications receiver includes a noise analyzer to characterize the composition of the interference and/or distortion impressed onto a transmitted communications signal in the presence of one or more time-varying conditions. The noise analyzer may provide a selection signal indicating the composition of the interference and/or distortion impressed onto a transmitted communications signal in the presence of one or more time-varying conditions to be used by the communications receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, the communications receiver selects at least one set of filter coefficients to compensate for the interference and/or distortion impressed onto a transmitted communications signal in the presence of a particular time-varying interference and/or distortion condition. In another exemplary embodiment, the communications receiver selects a corresponding interference cancellation filter bank to compensate for the interference and/or distortion impressed onto a transmitted communications signal in the presence of the particular time-varying interference and/or distortion condition.

    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed to compensate for non-linear effects resulting from the transmitter, the receiver, and/or the communication channel in a communication system. A receiver of the communication system contains an image cancellation module that compensates for images generated during the modulation and/or demodulation process. The image cancellation module includes a fine carrier correction loop to correct for frequency offsets between the transmitter and receiver. The image cancellation module includes a coarse acquisition mode and a decision directed mode. The decision directed mode allows for a larger signal-to-noise ratio for the receiver when compared against the coarse acquisition mode.

    摘要: A distributed Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) includes a head end, a downstream transmitter hub, and a plurality of cable modems that all establish frequency lock with a common frequency reference. The head end transmits a plurality of time stamps from the head end to the plurality of cable modems via a packet data network, the downstream transmitter hub, and cable modem network plant. Each of the plurality of cable modems performs smoothing operations on the plurality of time stamps to establish phase lock with the head end. The downstream transmitter and the plurality of cable modems perform ranging operations to establish phase lock among the plurality of cable modems. In an alternate operation, the frequency reference includes marker sequences that the devices of the distributed CMTS use to establish phase lock.

    摘要: A distributed CMTS includes a head end, a downstream transmitter hub, and an upstream receiver hub. The head end transmits data packets to the downstream transmitter via a coupling packet data network. Each data packet is marked with a “measured delay” Quality of Service (QOS) and includes a time stamp that is based upon a clock of the head end and a delay tag. The downstream transmitter hub receives the plurality of data, adjusts the time stamps based upon the delay tags, smoothes the time stamps of the plurality of data packets and, based upon the smoothed time stamps, synchronizes its clock with the clock of the head end. The downstream transmitter hub then synchronizes a clock of the upstream receiver hub with the clock of the downstream transmitter hub. The upstream receiver hub may synchronize its clock to the clock of the head end using this technique.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to systems and method for attenuating intermodulation interference. In particular, methods and systems to attenuate intermodulation interference contained within an aggregate signal having a transmitted signal that was transmitted over a communications channel having channel effects that produce the intermodulation interference are provided. The communications channel may be a cable television distribution network and the signal may be a cable television signal. A method is provided to predict when intermodulation interference will be large, so that actions within a receiver can be taken to reduce the impact of the interference and improve overall receiver performance.
