摘要:
An equalizer including a channel estimator allowing a Viterbi algorithm processor to estimate transmitted symbols accurately, so that the impulse response of a transmission channel may not deviate from the correct one. The equalizer outputs an transmitted symbol sequence estimate having the largest path metric by correcting the channel impulse response by parameter coefficients of the LMS (Least Mean Square) or RLS (Recursive Least Square) algorithm, by compensating for phase fluctuations due to the frequency offset and phase jitter of received signals, or by using a sequence included in an intermediate portion of a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame format.
摘要:
A frame synchronization apparatus is applied to the TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) communication system, particularly, where a plurality of transmission rates are available. The frame synchronization apparatus calculates correlations between sampled sequences of a received signal and an assigned sync sequence during the longest or shortest frame period in the plurality of transmission rates. The apparatus stores positions where the correlations exceed a given threshold. Then, the apparatus sets a search gate at a position after a lapse of the longest or shortest frame period from each of those positions. The apparatus calculates correlations between the sync sequence and sampled sequences of the received signal for all the search gates. The actual transmission rate is determined from the plurality of transmission rates based on a time interval of positions where the correlations beyond a second threshold were detected. Synchronization is thus established.
摘要:
A receiver to be employed in a digital mobile communication system, more particularly to a receiver for performing complex correlation against a received signal so as to establish and supervise the synchronization with the received signal. The receiver estimates a transmission channel between sending and receiving stations using the received signal and a predetermined reference signal (S11). The phase of the received signal is compensated for using the estimated phase error resulting from the estimation (S12). Complex correlation of the received signal which is compensated for in phase is performed against the reference signal (S13) to obtain a correlation value. The correlation value is compared with a predetermined threshold value (S14). The presence or absence of synchronization between the sending and receiving stations can be detected based on the result of the comparison. In case of detecting synchronization again after the synchronization is once detected, the phase of the received signal is compensated for (S22) using a previously obtained phase variation amount whereby the complex correlation value can be obtained (S23).

A sampling phase calculating part calculates a complex cross-correlation function; of a part corresponding to a training sequence of an equalizer of each sequence with respect to individual sample value sequences i of a reception signal y(t) which are sampled in a plurality of different sampling phases and selects a sampling phase where the absolute value of the complex cross-correlation functions is maximized, then selects a sampling phase .tau.s where the bit error rate is minimized according to a calculation based on the above selected sampling phase. A sampling processing part samples the reception signals y(t) in the sampling phase .tau.s for use in obtaining estimated values E of a transmission symbol sequence in a Viterbi algorithm processing part (130) and a transmission line estimating part (140), thereby to obtain a transmission symbol sequence with an improved bit error rate and higher accuracy.

When a maximum likelihood sequence estimator according to the present invention is used as an equalizer or the like for a receiver, a Viterbi algorithm processing portion 331 in the maximum likelihood sequence estimator estimates a transmission symbol Ea.sub.n with a reception signal y.sub.n and an estimated impulse response {Eh.sub.k } corresponding to Viterbi algorithm so as to estimate a maximum likelihood sequence corresponding to a soft decision regardless of a modulating method. A transmission logic code decoder 34 converts a transmission symbol Ea.sub.n into hard decision data Eb.sub.m with a value "1" or "0". An envelope detector 333 that is a transmission line quality evaluating means detects an envelope level p.sub.n of the reception signal y.sub.n. A soft decision value converting portion 334 converts the envelope level p.sub.n received from the envelope detector 333 corresponding to the value "1" or "0" of the hard decision data Ebm received from the transmission logic code decoder 34 so as to obtain soft decision value output data q.sub.m.

摘要:
An adaptive equalizer increases the estimation accuracy of a channel, and prevents the modulation characteristics from degrading. A sampling circuit generates a sampled sequence from a received signal. The sampled sequence is supplied from a buffer to an equalizing circuit, a channel estimating circuit and a delay amount estimating circuit. The equalizing circuit obtains an estimated transmitted symbol sequence from the sampled sequence and an estimated impulse response sequence. The channel estimating circuit obtains the estimated impulse response sequence from the sampled sequence, estimated transmitted symbol sequence and the estimated error. The delay amount estimating circuit supplies an estimated delay amount to a step-size control circuit. An error extracting circuit obtains the estimated error. The step-size control circuit controls a step-size parameter in response to the delay amount, and a tap coefficient update circuit updates the tap coefficients by the estimated transmitted symbol, estimated error e.sub.n and step-size parameter.
摘要:
An analog input signal is fed to an amplifier having a gain level that is determined by a gain control signal, and the amplified input signal is then converted into a digital received signal. A direct-current offset is detected from the digital received signal. The gain control signal is generated based in part on the direct-current offset.
摘要:
A timing recovery circuit samples an input signal, correlates the resulting sample stream with a reference pattern at different timings, then compares the resulting correlation values with each other and with a threshold, and estimates a timing at which a peak correlation can be obtained. The peak correlation timing is estimated with a precision exceeding the precision given by the sampling period. The estimated timing can be used by a receiving circuit for bit synchronization, symbol synchronization, or frame synchronization, or to adjust the sampling timing.
