    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain amplitude normalization for symbol correlation in multi-carrier communication systems. Digital samples associated with input signals received from a communication medium are processed using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to generate complex frequency components. Each complex frequency component is normalized with respect to its amplitude, and the frequency-domain, amplitude-normalized frequency components are multiplied with frequency components for reference symbol(s) to generate frequency-domain correlation values. These frequency-domain correlation values are analyzed to determine if a correlation exists between the amplitude-normalized frequency components and the predetermined reference frequency components. A correlation detection output is then generated that indicates whether or not a symbol synchronization was achieved. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for symbol correlation in received signals for power line communication (PLC) systems.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain symbol and frame synchronization for multi-carrier communication systems. Received signals are sampled and converted into frequency components associated with subcarriers within the multi-carrier communication signals. Symbol synchronization is performed in the frequency domain by performing correlation(s) between frequency components of the received signal and frequency-domain synchronization symbol(s). After symbol synchronization, frame synchronization correlation is also performed in the frequency domain between frequency components of the received signal and frequency-domain synchronization symbol(s). The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for symbol and frame synchronization in multi-carrier received signals for power line communication (PLC) systems and/or other harsh noisy communication environments.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain frame synchronization for multi-carrier communication systems. Received signals are sampled and converted into frequency domain components associated with subcarriers within the multi-carrier communication signals. A sliding-window correlation (e.g., two-dimensional sliding window) is applied to the received symbols represented in the frequency domain to detect frame boundaries for multi-carrier signals. The sliding-window frame synchronization can be applied by itself or can be applied in combination with one or more additional frame synchronization stages.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain carrier blanking in multi-carrier communication systems. When excessive energy is detected in one or more subcarriers within a received symbol for multi-carrier communications, those subcarriers are blanked for subsequent demodulation in order to avoid corruption of the demodulated data. A conversion from time-domain digital samples to frequency-domain values using an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and a threshold detector are utilized to detect corrupted subcarriers. Further, this frequency-domain carrier blanking can be implemented dynamically on a symbol-by-symbol basis to further improve demodulation performance by reducing decoding errors. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for improving demodulation performance in power line communication (PLC) systems.

    摘要: A transmitter and method for processing a digitally modulated communication signal, which may reduce peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) while maintaining acceptable error rates is disclosed. After subcarrier mapping, a first digital representation of the signal is upsampled into a second digital representation, which is transformed into a first time domain representation. Samples whose magnitudes exceed a magnitude limit are limited to that limit to produce a second time domain representation. The second time domain representation is transformed to a third frequency domain representation, which is downsampled into a fourth frequency domain representation. In addition to the in-band subcarriers, some out-of-band subcarriers adjacent to the frequency band are preserved while the remaining out-of-band subcarriers are eliminated to produce a fifth frequency domain representation. The fifth frequency domain representation is then transformed to a third time domain representation, which is converted to an analog signal to be transmitted.

    摘要: A mixer circuit (400) for use with a multi-stage receiver (200) accepts a single ended or differential (i.e. balanced) input (401). A voltage to current converter (402) comprised of a single RF transistor coupled to the input (401) provides a single current node (404) having a current proportional to a received input. A switching network (408) employs a plurality of stages (406). Each stage (406) is connected to the current node (404) and further has a control line (A, B, C, D). A clock signal generator connected to the control lines (A, B, C, D) of the switching network stage (406), generates clock signals having a frequency equal to the frequency of the received RF input signal. The switching network (408) under control of the clock signals switches the current at a frequency equal to the frequency of the received RF input signal to generate baseband I and Q signals. If the mixer (500) is differential, the balanced signal inputs (520) will be 180.degree. out of phase, one to another. In addition, the mixer (500) will consist of a first (510) and second (515) switching network. Of importance, only one first (510) and one second (515) switching network stage is active at any instant in time.
