    摘要: Pairs of parallel Viterbi decoders use windowed block data for decoding data at rates above 320 Mbps. Memory banks of the deinterleavers feeding the decoders operate such that some are receiving data while others are sending data to the decoders. Parallel input streams to every pair of decoders overlap for several traceback lengths of the decoder causing data input to a first decoder at the end of an input stream to be the same as the data input to a second decoder of the same pair at the beginning of an input stream. Then, the first decoder is able to post-synchronize its path metric with the second decoder and the second decoder is able to pre-synchronize its path metric with the first. Either, the deinterleaver data length is an integer multiple of the traceback length or the data input to only the first block of the first interleaver is padded.

    摘要: A method and system for estimating DC offset and removing the excess DC offset from samples used by an overlap-and-add operation at the receiver of OFDM symbols in UWB communication. The DC offset for each sample within the overlap-and-add interval may be estimated using a sliding window, of the size required for an FFT, operation over past samples. The DC offset may be estimated for a sample within the overlap-and-add interval and updated for the succeeding samples. A size of the overlap-and-add interval may be fixed or may be allowed to vary according to switching characteristics of an analog RF stage preceding the overlap-and-add operation.

    摘要: An automatic gain control method and system for use in signal processing of OFDM symbols at a receiver. Two stages of coarse and fine automatic gain control are implemented that adjust different gains in an analog RF processing stage of the receiver. Gain of a low noise amplifier and a mixer are adjusted during a first and coarse automatic gain control stage based on feedback from a digital baseband stage. During a subsequent fine gain control period, the gain of a programmable gain amplifier is adjusted separately for each frequency band used by the OFDM symbols based on a histogram bin that counts the number of output samples of an analog to digital converter whose magnitude falls within certain ranges. Coarse and fine gains are updated after each OFDM symbol.

    摘要: A method and a receiver system for subcarrier-specific frequency offset correction including frequency offset estimation, updating and compensation. The method includes initial frequency offset estimation in time domain using packet preamble, frequency offset compensation during channel estimation symbols using the initial frequency offset estimate, and frequency offset update tracking during header and data part both being performed in the frequency domain. The initial frequency offset estimation includes using a sum over a number of time lagged autocorrelation results, corresponding to a number of the last consecutive symbols of the preamble part of the packet with the autocorrelations being the result of a sum over a window of cross-correlations between the incoming signal and the respective packet synchronization sequence. The receiver includes receiver blocks for initial frequency offset estimation, frequency offset compensation, frequency offset update tracking and obtaining a current frequency offset estimate.

    摘要: A receiver including a channel estimation function in which an initial channel estimate is filtered to increase receiver operation, particularly when the receiver may only have a limited number of channel estimation symbols with which to form the channel estimate. In some embodiments the filtering is performed by transforming the initial channel estimate to the time domain, zeroing some of the samples to filter the time domain channel estimate, and transforming the filtered time domain channel estimate to the frequency domain for use in channel compensation.
