    摘要: A digital and analog television signal digitization and processing device that performs the digitization and processing functions using a common reference frequency source that is used to generate multiple subclock signals, wherein the reference frequency source is independent of any synchronizing characteristic of the input signal. For dual channel analog signal processing, the common frequency source is not locked to either channel/input signal. Digital signal processing is accomplished based on the same common reference frequency source. Advantageously, the present invention allows all of the analog-to-digital converters and decoder circuitry/logic necessary for simultaneously digitizing and processing several analog and digital television signals to be integrated on a single integrated circuit as well as eliminating duplicate frequency generation circuits.

    摘要: In a receiver for processing a vestigial sideband modulated signal containing terrestrial broadcast high definition television information and a pilot component, and for which multipath interference can lead to significant attenuation within narrow bands of the received signal spectrum containing the pilot tone of an Advanced Television Systems Committee high definition television broadcast signal, it has been found desirable to amplify the input signal in order to achieve synchronization of the receiver's phase-locked loop to the received pilot tone. Once this initial acquisition has been established, the amplification applied to the received signal can be reduced to a level appropriate for remaining blocks in the demodulation chain without upsetting the pilot tone synchronization. Thus, according to the present invention, the gain applied to the received ATSC VSB signal is set higher during pilot tone acquisition than it is during the remaining stages of demodulation.

    摘要: In a receiver for processing a VSB modulated signal containing terrestrial broadcast high definition television information including data packets, the received signal is converted to a digital signal (19), demodulated (22) and equalized by an adaptive channel equalizer (34). An equalized signal is processed by decoding networks including a Reed-Solomon FEC error detecting and correcting network (44). The equalizer filter coefficient step size is dynamically adjusted during the adaption process as a function of the packet error rate. A local microcontroller (60) monitors the packet error rate at the Reed-Solomon error detector and instructs the equalizer to adjust the coefficient step size in a direction to reduce the packet error rate.

    摘要: A receiver for processing a VSB modulated signal containing terrestrial broadcast high definition television information and a pilot component includes a carrier recovery network (22; FIG. 3) that produces a demodulated baseband signal. The carrier recovery network additionally responds to a locally generated control signal (Ph. Offset; 360) representing an unwanted phase offset of the pilot signal due to multipath distortion, for example. The control signal is used to compensate for the pilot phase offset before the demodulated signal is equalized. The control signal is produced by correlating received sync values with both a reference sync value (362) and a Hilbert transform of the reference sync value (363). The output of the carrier recovery network signal is phase compensated twice.

    摘要: A wireless telephone system comprising a base unit coupleable to one or more external telephone lines and having a base transceiver, and at least one wireless handset. The wireless handset has a handset transceiver for establishing a digital link with the base unit via the base transceiver over a wireless channel, wherein the handset and base unit communicate via the digital link by fixed-size audio packets comprising a plurality of audio data samples and a plurality of error correction bits. Qualities of the digital link are monitored to determine whether a change in error rate occurs. In response to the determination, a packet structure of subsequent audio packets is changed from a first packet structure to a second packet structure to change the relative number of bits devoted to audio data samples and to error correction bits.

    摘要: A trellis decoder system uses a feed-forward trellis demapping configuration to prevent error propagation. In a system for processing encoded binary data symbols representable as a symbol constellation, a decoder includes a delay for delaying received encoded symbol data. The decoder also includes a re-encoder for re-coding decoded symbol representative data and a processor for deriving decoded symbol data. The processor derives decoded symbol data using the delayed encoded symbol data and re-encoded data representative of a difference between successive symbols computed using an error propagation-free, feed-forward configuration.

    摘要: A receiver system automatically adaptively tunes to broadcast signals that are variable in the number of channels that are transmitted, their signal coding type and their modulation format. A system receives a digital bitstream representing video information encoded in one of a plurality of different formats, and transmitted on one of a plurality of transmission channels. In the system, a method for acquiring data transmitted on a transmission channel involves selecting a transmission channel from the plurality of channels and selecting a modulation format. The method also involves tuning to receive the modulation format and determining whether valid data is being received on the selected transmission channel. The method steps are repeated until valid data is received. The method may also involve selecting a coding type, and tuning to receive the coding type. In addition, the method of acquiring data may involve capturing program guide information and re-tuning to receive a transmission channel in response to the program guide information.
