摘要:
A multiple-antenna receiver can enable and disable receive radio frequency front-end and analog front-end circuits of specific antenna receiving routes according to a predetermined scheme during the receive data phase. The predetermined scheme calculates signal quality indices of the receiving route antennas by means of a preamble sequence, and derives the modulation and coding scheme and the number of spatial streams via the information provided by a header sequence. Indications of the signal quality indices are compared with threshold values to determine which receiving routes are to be turned on and which receiving routes are to be turned off.

An apparatus and method for synchronizing sampling frequencies of a receiver and a transmitter of a multi-carrier communication system is provided. The receiver includes an estimator for estimating a frequency offset by employing an additional angle rotation of a received signal in frequency domain. The apparatus includes a compensation loop filter for generating a first output in response to a frequency offset compensation, an adder for adding the estimated frequency offset and the first output to generate a second output, and a loop filter for generating frequency offset compensation according to the second output. The method repeatedly applies the apparatus to generate frequency offset compensation, and then feeds it back to an oscillator to compensate the sampling frequency of the receiver. The apparatus and method can also be applied to a communication system with a carrier frequency offset.
