    摘要： A digital timing recovery system advantageously employs both demodulated I-phase and Q-phase components to more accurately locate the synchronization signal of an incoming VSB signal. The Q-phase component is advantageously employed to detect the phase error. The use of the Q-phase component provides a more accurate measure of the phase error and results in a larger (wider) acquisition range for timing frequency offset. More specifically, the timing recovery system of this invention performs symbol clock recovery based on the VSB signal segment synchronization (sync) signal and generates a pulse density modulated (PDM) phase difference signal that controls a voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) in the phase-locked loop. This is realized, in one embodiment of the invention, by correlating received sync segment data with the known sync signal pattern and searching for "peaks" in the correlation values that are periodic at the known sync segment data rate. Once the sync pattern is found, the correlation values for adjacent samples are advantageously employed to generate the necessary feedback control signal value for the VCXO. Technical advantages of applicants' unique invention are that the need for an analog synchronous detector is eliminated, a more accurate measure than that obtained by prior known systems is obtained and a wider acquisition range is obtained for timing frequency offset.

    摘要： A memory addressing scheme suitable for use for either interleaving or de-interleaving data bytes of, e.g., a broadcast digital television (DTV) data stream. A number of memory branches are configured in a random access memory (RAM), wherein at least some of the branches have different numbers of memory locations for reading out and for storing data bytes, thus defining memory branches of different lengths in the RAM. A start address is determined for each of the memory branches in the RAM, corresponding to a first memory location of each branch. An offset value is determined for each memory branch, to be added to the start address for the branch for addressing a memory location of the branch. If an offset value does not exceed the length of a corresponding branch, an address corresponding to the sum of the branch start address and the offset value is generated for addressing a successive memory location of the branch, and the offset value for the branch is incremented by one. When an offset value equals the length of a corresponding branch, an address corresponding to a last memory location of the branch is generated, and the offset value for the branch is reset to zero.

    摘要： A digital carrier recovery system includes at least two modes of operation, namely, an acquisition mode and a tracking mode. The bandwidth of the carrier recovery loop filter is different for the acquisition mode and the tracking mode. In the acquisition mode, the digital phase-locked loop seeks and locks to the long term frequency offset of the received carrier signal. In the tracking mode, the digital phase-locked loop tracks the instantaneous variations in the carrier phase. Switching between the acquisition mode and the tracking mode is realized digitally, and includes programmable hysteresis, resulting in optimal performance in the presence of signals having high levels of phase noise (jitter). More specifically, the carrier recovery loop filter “locks” to the pilot signal of an incoming signal, e.g., a vestigial side band (VSB) video signal, by employing a so-called digital vector tracking phase-locked loop that demodulates the VSB signal. The digital vector tracking phase-locked loop includes a complex filter, i.e., a so-called vector tracking filter, that very quickly locks to the pilot signal of the passband VSB signal and once locked to the pilot signal, switches to the tracking mode that provides significantly better tracking of phase noise. The demodulation is achieved by employing a complex multiplication of the incoming signal with a complex exponential sequence to obtain an in-phase (I-phase) component and a quadrature-phase (Q-phase) component. The complex exponential sequence is generated, in one embodiment, by employing a SIN/COS look up table that is driven by a phase difference signal generated by the digital vector tracking phase-locked loop. A residual direct current (dc) component in the I-phase component caused by the pilot signal is removed, resulting in a baseband I/Q signal. A technical advantage of this carrier recovery invention is that the bandwidth of the phase-locked loop filter can be different for the acquisition mode and the tracking mode. This allows for optimal performance in both the acquisition and tracking modes of operation.
