    摘要: A Television (TV) receiver for faster channel switch times between a plurality of broadcasting TV channels with reduced latency in overall demodulation cycle for multiple demodulation standards is provided. The TV receiver includes a tuner that receives the broadcasting TV channels from a broadcasting system, performs a tuning operation, and sets a desired frequency for each of the broadcasting TV channels during a channel scan operation. A demodulator demodulates each of the broadcasting TV channels and acquires one or more acquisition channel parameters of each of the broadcasting TV channels during the channel scan operation. An application processor is coupled to the demodulator via a low throughput interface. The application processor performs a read operation and a write operation of the acquisition channel parameters to memory mapped registers on the demodulator when a channel status switches from a first state to a second state.

    摘要: At a receiver incoming coded OFDM Symbol Data are passed through a Coarse Symbol Timing Synchronization module to determine the approximate start of the symbol. In one embodiment this is accomplished through correlation. The symbol is then passed through an FFT (2K or 8K, depending on the mode desired by the receiver). Since the Coarse Symbol Timing Synchronization module only determines an approximate start point of the symbol, a process of fine synchronization is used to adjust this approximate start point and determine a more accurate start point of the symbol. In this manner, the receiver is enabled to process COFDM symbols in DVB-T transmissions (where the symbols include a cyclic prefix to overcome echoes). One output of an FFT operation is magnitude. Magnitude is used for Channel Estimation (or Channel Correction). Another output of an FFT operation is phase discontinuity or rotations. Phase discontinuities are used in a fine synchronization process to determine the number of phase discontinuities. Phase discontinuity data of the symbol is passed through an N-Point FFT.

    摘要: A wide band receiver to select and demodulate an input signal with single scan spectrum sensing by performing filtering on the input signal in digital domain to achieve improved selectivity and sensitivity is provided. The input signal includes one or more narrowband radio frequency (RF) signals. The wide band receiver includes a wide band tuner that down converts the one or more narrowband RF signals to one or more IF signals. An analog to digital converter (ADC) converts the one or more IF signals to one or more digital signals. A filter rejects out-of-band signals from the one or more digital signals to achieve the improved selectivity. A numeric controlled oscillator (NCO) selects at least one narrowband digital signal from the digital signals based on a phase value obtained from a spectrum selection control unit. A demodulator demodulates the narrowband digital signal to obtain a demodulated digital signal.
