摘要:
In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems, iterative maximum likelihood channel estimation and signal detection is preformed. The channel estimation gives the maximum likelihood estimates of time domain channel parameters. A cost function is defined. An iterative process estimates a joint channel impulse response and a transmitted signal that minimize the cost function, and thus solves the channel estimation and signal detection problem jointly without having specific knowledge of the channel.

A matrix transform method and circuit provides for MAP decoding of turbo codes. The method begins by initializing a forward recursion probability function vector &agr;0, and a backward recursion probability function vector &bgr;N. Then, transition probability matrices &Ggr;(Rk) and &Ggr;i(Rk) are determined according to each received symbol of the sequence R1N. And then, values of &agr;k, corresponding to the received Rk are determined according to &Ggr;(Rk). At the same time of determining &agr;k, a plurality of multiplacation on &Ggr;(Rk) and &Ggr;i(Rk) are accomplished in parallel. By making use of the results of the matrix multiplications, after receiving the complete symbol sequence R1N, values of all of the backward recursion probability vector &bgr;k, where k=1, 2, . . . , N−1, are determined in parallel, and the log likelihood ratio for every decoded bit dk, k=1, 2, . . . , N, are also determined in parallel. The circuit performs successive decoding procedures in parallel using a set of regular matrix operations. These operations substantially accelerate the decoding speed and reduce the computational complexity, and are particularly suited for implementation in special-purpose parallel processing VLSI hardware architectures. Using shift registers, the VLSI implementation effectively reduces memory requirements and simplifies complicated data accesses and transfers.

In a digital radio receiver, transmitted symbols are recovered from a received signal that includes tim-shifted and frequency-shifted copies of a transmitted signal. A channel estimator extracts channel characteristics from a training signal. Receiver data and software for executing in a processor are stored in a memory connected to the processor. A parameter controller generates receiver configuration parameters from the channel characteristics and the receiver data. The received signal is decomposed into a matrix of samples according to the receiver configuration parameters to adapt the receiver to a multiple multiplexing schemes. An inner product is formed of the samples and channel characteristics, and the transmitted symbols are recovered from the inner product.

An antenna is directed to optimally receive an advanced television signal. First, the strength of the signal is measured as a function of the azimuth angle of the antenna, and second the flatness of the signal is measured as a function of the azimuth angle of the antenna. The antenna is then rotated to maximize the flatness of the signal while maintaining the strength of the signal above a minimum threshold.

An apparatus for processing digital signals includes a multiplier having a first input and a second input and an output producing a product. An adder is connected to receive the product from the multiplier as a first input to produce a sum. A first register is connected to receive and store the sum and to provide a second input to the adder in response to a clock signal. A second register is connected to receive and store the output of the first register in response to an inverse of the clock signal to enable the addition of two products in a single clock cycle.

An adaptable, variable rate symbol timing recovery system for a digital sal receiver comprises an analog to digital (A-D) signal converter having analog signal input and digital data signal output terminals. A source of selectable, substantially fixed rate, data sampling clock signals is coupled to the A-D signal converter for sampling a signal received at the input at a predetermined, substantially fixed clock rate, depending on data rate and modulation of the received signal. A digital signal processing loop is coupled to the digital data signal output terminal for adjustably producing interdependent signals in synchronism with the data signals at the output terminal which are asynchronous with respect to the fixed rate clock signals. A Controller is provided for selectively configuring the data sampling clock signal source and the digital signal processing loop according to the data rate and modulation characteristics of the received signal.

A method and apparatus for down-converting a digital video signal includes a synthesizer and a converter. The synthesizer receives a digital video signal including at least first and second DCT blocks of DCT coefficients, and synthesizes the first and second DCT blocks into a single synthesized DCT block having dimensions equal to the first and second DCT blocks. The converter converts the synthesized DCT block from the DCT domain to the spatial domain to produce an output digital video signal.
