摘要:
A receiver carrier synchronization apparatus and method for carrier synchronization with a received signal having a known data pattern preamble uses a "punctured" preamble for making carrier synchronization estimates thereby reducing the number of receivers required. The known data pattern preamble of the received signal is processed with a local reference signal and a differentiated replica of the known data pattern preamble to generate an error signal. The error signal is selectively sampled in the time domain in accordance with a puncture scheme, and the sampled error signal is used to generate the local reference signal in a closed loop. The received signal is processed with the local reference signal and a replica of the known data pattern preamble to generate a synchronization estimate signal.

A signal acquisition system rapidly acquires carrier phase and symbol timing of a received PSK-modulated communication signal having a 110-symbol pattern through joint estimation of carrier-phase adjustment and symbol-timing adjustment by processing a common set of sampled data. A reference signal at a local oscillator frequency is mixed with a received communication signal to provide the communication signal at an intermediate frequency. The intermediate-frequency communication signal is converted into a digital communication signal, which is formatted into in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components. A sampling circuit samples the I components at twice a predetermined symbol rate to provide a first series of I-component samples at the predetermined symbol rate and a second series of I-component samples that are intermediate to the first series of I-component samples and at the predetermined symbol rate, and for sampling the Q components at twice the predetermined symbol rate to provide a first series of Q-component samples at the predetermined symbol rate and a second series of Q-component samples that are intermediate to the first series of Q-component samples and at the predetermined symbol rate. A processor processes the samples to estimate a phase-adjustment value and a symbol-timing-adjustment value. The phase of the reference signal is adjusted in accordance with the phase-adjustment value and the timing of the sampling is adjusted in accordance with the symbol-timing-adjustment value.

There is disclosed a high speed data transmission system for transmitting a binary data signal over a communications path. The binary data signal is clocked at a given period. The system comprises encoded means responsive to a binary NRZ input data signal to provide at an output an encoded digital signal having time periods greater than multiples of the clock period, whereby the encoded signal occupies a lesser effective bandwidth than the NRZ signal would occupy. There are balanced modulator means having an input responsive to the encoded signal and another input adapted to receive a carrier frequency to provide at an output a double sideband suppressed carrier signal. Coupled to the output of the balanced modulator are narrow bandwidth filtering means including first low pass and second high pass parallel filter paths each having a common input terminal coupled to the output of the modulator. The ouputs of the low and high pass filters are symmetrically combined to provide a narrow single sideband signal for transmission characterized in that transitions between binary levels in said encoded signal are manifested by distinct phase changes in said single sideband signal.

A phase locked loop circuit for use in a heterodyne receiver for stably demodulating a carrier-suppressed double-sideband signal such as a 2-phase or 4-phase PSK signal. The phase locked loop circuit comprises a reference oscillator oscillating at a frequency corresponding to an intermediate frequency, and the frequency difference between the reference frequency and the input frequency is detected by a Costas loop, a signal indicative of the frequency difference being fed back to a local oscillator through a loop filter thereby stabilizing the intermediate frequency.

A receiver is disclosed for acquiring and tracking a data signal in a highly stressed environment. The receiver comprises first and second I.F. sections, a mixer for translation from the first I.F. frequency to the second I.F. frequency, a 2 KHz bandpass filter at the second I.F. frequency, signal translator for synchronous translation of the signal at the second I.F. frequency to baseband, a digitizer for complex sampling operation on the baseband signal, a microprocessor for processing the digital samples, and a numerically controlled oscillator coupled to the mixer and controlled by the microprocessor. The microprocessor formulates matched digital discrete Fourier Transform filters which drive frequency, phase and symbol lock loops at the symbol rate. Each of the loop filters is formed by symbol-rate recursive, first-order equations. A novel mode control system is employed to implement an orderly transition through the receiver modes, comprising (i) out-of-band noise estimation, (ii) coarse frequency and time acquisition of the data signal employing a sequential probability ratio test and a handover process, (iii) frequency and symbol synchronization with the data signal, (iv) phase and symbol synchronization with the data signal, and (v) feedback loop lock confirmation. After loss of lock, the mode controller transfers the receiver operations back to the appropriate restart operation.
摘要:
A method for digitally regulating the residual carrier phase error in receivers of digital data transmission systems. A comparator compares the sampled data signal or value of the carrier demodulated input signal to the receiver with the estimated value for each associated sampling time or moment as provided by a decider, to determine the deviation dk which is a measure for the phase difference between the sampled value and the associated estimated value. This deviation dk is filtered in a digital loop filter, including a proportional branch and an integration branch, and a regulating value for the demodulated input signal is obtained from a subsequently connected accumulator. A non-linear limitation on the deviation dk is included in the integration branch of the digital loop filter.
摘要:
An N-phase PSK demodulator is disclosed wherein all circuits therein operate in a frequency band equal to or below the carrier band. The locally reproduced carrier is generated by a phase locked loop in combination with a frequency converter means and a divide-by-two frequency divider. The frequency converter means consists of n identical frequency converter circuits connected in series, where 2.sup.n =N. For a 2-phase PSK demodulator where n=1, the 2-phase PSK modulated wave is applied as a first input and the reproduced carrier divided by two is applied as a second input to the frequency converter circuit. A mixer and filter provide as an output the difference frequency between the first and second inputs. The latter output is multiplied by two and applied as the input to the phase locked loop. Where n>1, the first input of each frequency converter circuit except the first is the output from the preceeding circuit, and the output from the last frequency converter circuit is the input to the phase locked loop.
