摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a receiver which, when receiving a digital broadcast, can shorten a time necessary for performing an initial synchronization. The receiver comprises: a front end which receives an OFDM-modulated digital broadcast and outputs modulation signals Sch1 and of at least two channels, which modulation signals and are contained in the digital broadcast; a channel decoder which receives one modulation signal Sch1 through an A/D converter and obtains an initial synchronism to decode the modulation signal; a channel decoder which receives the other modulation signal through an A/D converter and obtains an initial synchronism to decode the modulation signal. The channel decoders, upon obtaining initial synchronisms, will mutually output and share synchronism signals. When one channel decoder is to newly obtain an initial synchronism, such an initial synchronism can be obtained in accordance with a synchronism signal outputted from the other channel decoder which has already obtained an initial synchronism, thereby shortening a time necessary for performing initial synchronization.
摘要:
Two of set antennas are selected by a selecting unit, and transmission signals output from the two antennas are demodulated individually and combined. Moreover, quality levels of the transmission signals output from the antennas are detected by a detecting unit. When the quality level of the transmission signal output from at least either one of the antennas is lower than a predetermined level, a control unit selects two antennas from among the three or more antennas based on the quality levels of the transmission signals output from the antennas. Consequently, when the quality level of the transmission signal output from a selected antenna falls below the predetermined level, optimum antennas can be selected based on the detected quality levels of the transmission signals with an improvement to the reception quality. Thus, a receiver which selects optimum antennas while minimizing the number of times of antenna switching can be provided.
