    摘要: In response to a received carrier wave modulated in accordance with a digital signal, a digital radio receiver recovers in digital form a modulating signal that is at times subject to undesirable amounts of multipath distortion. This recovered modulating signal is applied as respective input signals to first and second finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters, each of an N-tap type, the taps of which are adaptively weighted. The first FIR filter responds to the modulating signal to supply an output signal in which multipath distortion is suppressed. The second FIR filter responds to the modulating signal to generate corrections for the tap weights of the first FIR filter, which corrections are generated more rapidly than can be done with a microprocessor of the type commonly known as a "digital signal processor" or "DSP". A digital comparator compares samples of the first FIR filter response to corresponding samples of an ideal response, thereby to generate updated tap weights for the second FIR filter.

    摘要: Adaptive passband equalization filtering comprises in addition to a non-iterative portion, an iterative filtering portion to suppress longer-delayed post-ghosts. This iterative filtering portion differs from that in previous adaptive passband equalization filtering, in which the estimates of transmitted symbols are converted to VSB signal and the feedback signal for the iterative filtering is generated as a weighted summation of successive samples of the VSB signal. Instead, a weighted summation of successive estimates of transmitted symbols is converted to VSB signal to supply the feedback signal for the iterative filtering. Since the conversion to VSB signal is done immediately before the feedback signal is combined with the feedforward signal to generate the passband equalization filtering response that is demodulated, the carrier wave of the feedback signal is currently determined, rather than having been determined in the past. This avoids “ghost iteration with inversion” in the adaptive passband equalization filtering response.

    摘要: Techniques for calculating the system characteristic of the adaptive filtering used for equalization and echo-suppression in a digital communications receiver, such as one used for receiving over-the-air broadcast digital television signal, are described. In these techniques, the system characteristic of the adaptive filtering is calculated from the discrete Fourier transform of successive portions of the input signal supplied to the adaptive filtering and from the discrete Fourier transform of corresponding portions of the transmitted signal, as estimated in the receiver. Receivers for implementing these techniques in various ways are also disclosed.

    摘要: Transmitting apparatus and receiving apparatus for communication systems use coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (COFDM) dual-subcarrier-modulation (DCM) signals. The same coded data is mapped both to COFDM subcarriers located in the lower-frequency half spectrum of the DCM signal and to COFDM subcarriers located in its upper-frequency half spectrum. Symbol constellation mappings of COFDM subcarriers in those half spectra preferably employ labeling diversity providing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the COFDM DCM signals substantially reduced from PAPR of double-sideband COFDM signals.

    摘要: An outdoor-antenna digital television receiver system has an electrically controlled remote tuner located close to the antenna. In response to a remote control signal, the remote tuner selects a particular radio-frequency digital television signal to be received, converts that RF DTV signal to an intermediate-frequency digital television signal of prescribed carrier frequency, and drives a downlead transmission line, preferably a coaxial cable. Indoors, the downlead transmission line is provided with an echo-free termination This echo-free termination may be in a “set-top” box that includes a frequency up-conveter that converts the IF DTV signal back to an RF DTV signal for reception by a conventional digital television receiver. Alternatively, the echo-free termination may be in a special DTV receiver without a local tuner. In such a special DTV receiver the IF DTV signal developed across the echo-free termination is supplied to circuitry for demodulation and analog-to-digital conversion, which circuitry supplies digitized baseband DTV signal.

    摘要: An adaptive equalizer for amplitude-modulation (AM) signal received by over-the-air radio transmission comprises feed-forward finite-impulse-response (FIR) filtering and further comprises infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filtering for feeding back decisions. The echo content of baseband signal demodulated from the AM signal is measured for initially determining the reception channel impulse response (CIR) in the time-domain. Thereafter, the CIR is updated by decision feedback. Periodically, the CIR is normalized with respect to the strength of a cursor component thereof. The strengths of longer-delay post-echoes in the normalized CIR are used to determine the weighting coefficients of the IIR filtering, which suppresses the longer-delay post-echoes. The pre-echo and short-delay post-echo portion of the normalized CIR is convolved with the normalized CIR to generate a synthetic normalized CIR. The strengths of pre-echoes and short-delay post-echoes in the synthetic normalized CIR are used to determine the weighting coefficients of the feed-forward FIR filtering, which suppresses the pre-echoes and short-delay post-echoes.

    摘要: Broadcast DTV signals are improved by including in each of their successive data fields a training signal for the adaptive channel-equalization and echo-cancellation filtering in receivers. The training signal in each data field includes a prescribed number of cycles of a particular pseudo-random noise sequence extending over a plurality of data segments to provide a training signal for the adaptive filtering that is of longer duration than one of said data segments. Each data segment in each data field begins with a data segment synchronizing sequence, and the training signals incorporate some of these data segment synchronizing sequences within themselves. Receivers are described that initialize the parameters of the adaptive filtering using discrete Fourier transform calculations on the training signal, and receivers are described that initialize the parameters of the adaptive filtering using the results of match filtering for the particular pseudo-random noise sequence.
