In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for digitally detecting a first signal strength corresponding to a multi-channel spectrum of an incoming radio frequency (RF) spectrum and digitally detecting a second signal strength corresponding to a selected channel of the incoming RF spectrum. Based on these values, one or more one gain stages of a receiver, such as a satellite television receiver for the incoming RF spectrum, may be controlled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A technique includes receiving a signal spectrum that includes a plurality of channels within a first frequency range. The technique includes receiving a selection signal that identifies at least one desired channel to be tuned. The technique includes providing an oscillator that has a second frequency range that is substantially the same as the first frequency range and controlling the oscillators to generate one of a plurality of coarse-tune analog mixing signals. The signals substantially span across the second frequency range and each depends upon the location of the desired channel within the signal spectrum. The technique includes mixing the signal spectrum with the selected coarse-tune analog mixing signal to generate a coarsely tuned signal spectrum. The technique includes digitally processing the coarsely-tuned signal spectrum to fine tune the desired channel and to produce digital baseband signals for the desired channel.

Methods and architectures for tuning bandpass analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are disclosed that can be used, for example, with receiver architectures and associated methods that are also disclosed. The notch of the bandpass ADC can be tuned to the desired channel frequency by adjusting the notch to reduce noise energy in the output signal through a feedback process that adjusts the tuning signal. In addition, a master-slave approach can be implemented to tune a tunable bandpass filter configured as a slave circuit based upon the tuning adjustments made to the master bandpass ADC circuit. In addition, receiver architectures and associated methods are disclosed that utilize coarse analog tune circuitry to provide initial analog coarse tuning of desired channels within a received spectrum signal, such as a set-top box signal spectrum for satellite communications.
摘要:
A transmit portion of a WB-CDMA transceiver generates one or more spread data streams having values represented by a single bit, allowing for filtering of spread and combined data streams with a root raised cosine (RRC) filter employing single-bit multipliers. The RRC filter is a digital filter that i) employs multiplication of two values in which the length of at least one value is one bit; ii) is preferably implemented with muxs or a simple logic operator; and iii) may employ upsampling and modulation encoding of filter coefficients to reduce the coefficient length to, for example, one bit. The RRC filter may be an FIR filter having either one-bit or multi-bit coefficients, and apply RRC filtering to a spread user stream either before or after the spread user streams are combined. For some implementations, RRC filters are employed to filter each spread user stream prior to combining several processed user steams. For other implementations, the multi-bit valued data stream representing the combined user streams is upsampled to form an upsampled data stream of single-bit values, and RRC filtering is then applied to the upsampled data stream. Alternatively, implementations may use upsampled RRC filter coefficients that allow RRC filtering on the combined spread user streams represented as a sequence of multi-bit values.
