摘要:
This equalization device and method, while preventing an expansion of circuit size, enable high-speed detection of a CIR in order to effectively achieve frequency domain equalization even when the phase of the received signal is significantly different from the phase of the known signal, and when the transmission channel has large temporal variations. A reference signal extraction unit (112) extracts both a real part component and an imaginary part component from the portion of the received signal including the known signal. A CIR detection filter unit (120) filters the known signal to generate a first processed signal and a second processed signal, detects real part filter coefficients by updating a first filter coefficient used in filtering the known signal in such a way that the first processed signal converges to the real part component, and detects imaginary part filter coefficients by filtering the known signal in such a way that the second processed signal converges to the imaginary part component. A CIR output unit (140) uses either the real part filter coefficients or the imaginary part filter coefficients to identify the channel impulse response.

A diversity receiver is provided with antennas (1a) and (1b) in a first branch and antennas (1c) and (1d) in a second branch each of which antenna gains is controlled so that the offset between the directions of directional radiation patterns for the first and second branches becomes approximately π/2. Thereby, the diversity receiver can obtain a sufficient diversity gain even when it is incorporated into an indoor television with the antennas being built thereinto in close vicinity to one another.

A delay profile generating circuit 9 generates a delay profile signal. Concerning the delay profile signal, a ghost decision circuit 10 makes a decision as to the presence or absence of ghosts that will appear during traveling of a mobile vehicle in response to a transmission mode signal fed from a changeover switch 8. The delay profile signal and the decision signal about the presence/absence of the ghosts are delivered to a window control circuit 13 via an accumulator 11. The window control circuit 13 sets and controls the FFT window position of an FFT circuit 5 in response to a guard correlation signal fed from a guard correlation signal generating circuit 12 and a signal fed from the accumulator 11.

An equalizer providing a filtered signal to a data decision unit calculates an amplitude error signal by comparing the filtered signal with the data signal output from the data decision unit, and calculates a squared envelope error signal from the filtered signal. These two error signals are separately weighted according to the absolute value of the amplitude error, the weight of the amplitude error signal decreasing and the weight of the squared envelope error signal increasing as the absolute value of the amplitude error increases. The weighted amplitude error signal and weighted squared envelope error signal are added to obtain an error signal used in updating filter coefficients in the equalizer. Rapid convergence of the filter coefficients is obtained, with small residual error.

摘要:
A phase error detector in a digital demodulator estimates phase error by dividing the difference between an in-phase demodulated signal and the transmitted data values included in the in-phase demodulated signal by the sum or difference of a quadrature demodulated signal and a product signal. The product signal is equal to the in-phase demodulated signal multiplied by a fixed gain constant. The phase error detector thereby obtains an error estimate that is substantially independent of the transmitted data values.
