A method of synchronizing a feedforward filter (46) that receives a signal resulting from the transmission of a series of symbols through a channel, wherein the series of symbols includes a predetermined sequence of symbols includes the step of developing a plurality of samples from the received symbols (60), wherein a sequence of samples corresponds to the predetermined sequence of symbols. The method further includes the steps of estimating a channel impulse response from the plurality of samples, calculating a characteristic of the channel impulse response, and synchronizing (54) the feedforward filter in accordance with the estimated channel impulse response.

New capabilities will allow conventional broadcast transmission to be available to mobile devices. A method is described including the steps of receiving data, encoding the data using a first encoding process, inserting training data into the encoded data, and encoding the encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process. An apparatus is also described including a first encoder receiving at least a portion of data and encoding the portion of data using a first encoding process, a training data inserter inserting training data into the first encoded data, and a second encoder encoding the first encoded data and the training data using a second encoding process.

An equalizer for processing blocks of data includes n−1 data shifters, n finite filters, an adder, and a controller. Each of the n−1 data shifters shifts the blocks of data. One of the n finite filters applies a corresponding set of finite filter coefficients to the blocks of data, and each of the other n−1 finite filters applies a set of finite filter coefficients to a corresponding output of the n−1 data shifters. Ghosts of the blocks of data are not eliminated as a result of the application of the n sets of finite filter coefficients corresponding to the n finite filters, and n>2. The adder is arranged to add outputs from the n finite filters. The controller is arranged to control the sets of finite filter coefficients corresponding to the n finite filters so that the addition performed by the adder substantially eliminates the ghosts.

A digital equalizer comprises a matched filter that, in conjunction with an FIR filter, assures a single peak with substantially greater energy than other peaks caused by ghosts, thereby permitting synchronization even with multiple, arbitrarily strong ghosts caused by strong multipathing, multiple transmitters, or both.

An adaptive equalizer comprises a decision device; a decision feedback equalizer coupled to the decision device; an FIR filter coupled to the decision device; and a trellis decoder coupled to the decision device, adapted to provide a reliability output and a decoded output. An error signal is generated by subtracting an output of the decision feedback equalizer from an output of the decision device, the error signal being used to update coefficients of the taps of the FIR filter and the decision feedback equalizer. A magnitude of the change to the coefficients is selected based at least in part the reliability output of the trellis decoder.
摘要:
An equalizer applies a window function to input blocks of data. A first finite filter multiplies each of the windowed input blocks of data with a first set of finite filter coefficients to provide respective first adjusted output blocks of data. This multiplication does not result in a full solution to ghosts. A second finite filter multiplies each of the windowed input blocks of data with a second set of finite filter coefficients to provide respective second adjusted output blocks of data. This multiplication also does not result in a full solution to ghosts. An adder performs an addition based upon corresponding ones of the first and second adjusted output blocks of data. A controller controls the window function and the first and second sets of equalizer coefficients so that, as a result of the addition, a substantially full solution to ghosts is obtained.

A digital receiver for processing a signal received from a channel includes a digital demodulator and an equalizer coupled to the digital demodulator. The equalizer includes a feedforward filter and a decision feedback equalizer (DFE), wherein the feedforward filter includes a plurality of feedforward filter taps. Coefficients are associated with the plurality of feedforward filter taps and the values of all of the coefficients associated with the plurality of feedforward filter taps are dynamically determined.

摘要:
A data-directed frequency-and-phase lock loop for an offset-QAM modulated signal comprises a first multiplier that multiplies the signal by the output of a VCO. The output of the first multiplier is phase-shifted by a second multiplier, then convolved by a third multiplier. The output of the third multiplier is split, with each portion being passed through a frequency-shift multiplier and a frequency-and-phase lock loop. The output of the two frequency-and-phase lock loops is summed and returned to the VCO to complete the feedback loop.
