    摘要: A cable network tap comprises a first port for coupling to an upstream portion of a cable network and for receiving a downstream signal; a second port for coupling to a downstream portion of the cable network and receiving an upstream signal; and a filter for filtering at least one of the downstream signal and the upstream signal. The filter has a bandwidth that is adjustable in accordance with a plurality of cable network bandwidth configurations, each cable network bandwidth configuration allocating bandwidth differently between upstream communications and downstream communications over at least a portion of the cable network.

    摘要: A remodulator system includes a source of an input transport packet stream and an input packet buffer coupled to the input transport packet stream source. The input packet buffer generates a status signal indicating whether it is: full, empty, or neither empty nor full. An output packet stream generator is coupled to the input packet stream buffer and responsive to an output clock signal, and generates the output packet stream in synchronism with the output clock signal. A variable output clock signal generator generates the output clock signal responsive to a control signal, and a control signal generator generates the control signal in response to the status signal.

    摘要: A system for receiving a plurality of broadcast channels transmitted with different polarizations includes a first demodulator for demodulating a first channel having a first polarization to produce a first demodulated channel signal, and a second demodulator for demodulating a second channel having a second polarization, opposite to the first polarization, to produce a second demodulated channel signal. An adaptive interference cancellation network, coupled to the first and second demodulators, cancels interference, derived from the second channel, in the first demodulated channel signal to produce a received signal.

    摘要: A digital high definition television receiver equalizer system includes an input adaptive feed forward filter (FFF 20), a carrier recovery network (46), and a slicer (40) in addition to an adaptive decision feedback filter (DFF, 30) for removing intersymbol interference. At the beginning of a blind equalizing interval the FFF is not adapted and the DFF operates as a linear filter with adapted coefficients for equalizing post-ghosts. Afterwards in the blind interval the FFF coefficients are adapted blindly for equalizing pre-ghosts. In a subsequent decision-directed mode the slicer output is used for adapting both the FFF and DFF non-linearly.
