    Abstract: A wide band receiver to select and demodulate an input signal with single scan spectrum sensing by performing filtering on the input signal in digital domain to achieve improved selectivity and sensitivity is provided. The input signal includes one or more narrowband radio frequency (RF) signals. The wide band receiver includes a wide band tuner that down converts the one or more narrowband RF signals to one or more IF signals. An analog to digital converter (ADC) converts the one or more IF signals to one or more digital signals. A filter rejects out-of-band signals from the one or more digital signals to achieve the improved selectivity. A numeric controlled oscillator (NCO) selects at least one narrowband digital signal from the digital signals based on a phase value obtained from a spectrum selection control unit. A demodulator demodulates the narrowband digital signal to obtain a demodulated digital signal.

    Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver system for improved pilotless detection of symbol boundary of a received OFDM symbols using M-ary Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK) modulated carriers as a cost function is provided. The OFDM receiver includes a symbol boundary detection block that detects a symbol boundary of the received OFDM symbols. The symbol boundary detection block detects the symbol boundary by computing cost function of second order moment of the M-PSK modulated carriers. The receiver system is capable of detecting the symbol boundary for unknown information on said received OFDM symbols and thus increases throughput per given transmission bandwidth of a modulation scheme.

    Abstract: A Television (TV) receiver for faster channel switch times between a plurality of broadcasting TV channels with reduced latency in overall demodulation cycle for multiple demodulation standards is provided. The TV receiver includes a tuner that receives the broadcasting TV channels from a broadcasting system, performs a tuning operation, and sets a desired frequency for each of the broadcasting TV channels during a channel scan operation. A demodulator demodulates each of the broadcasting TV channels and acquires one or more acquisition channel parameters of each of the broadcasting TV channels during the channel scan operation. An application processor is coupled to the demodulator via a low throughput interface. The application processor performs a read operation and a write operation of the acquisition channel parameters to memory mapped registers on the demodulator when a channel status switches from a first state to a second state.
