An adaptive equalizer comprises a decision device; a decision feedback equalizer coupled to the decision device; an FIR filter coupled to the decision device; and a trellis decoder coupled to the decision device, adapted to provide a reliability output and a decoded output. An error signal is generated by subtracting an output of the decision feedback equalizer from an output of the decision device, the error signal being used to update coefficients of the taps of the FIR filter and the decision feedback equalizer. A magnitude of the change to the coefficients is selected based at least in part the reliability output of the trellis decoder.

A data-directed frequency-and-phase lock loop for an offset-QAM modulated signal comprises a first multiplier that multiplies the signal by the output of a VCO. The output of the first multiplier is phase-shifted by a second multiplier, then convolved by a third multiplier. The output of the third multiplier is split, with each portion being passed through a frequency-shift multiplier and a frequency-and-phase lock loop. The output of the two frequency-and-phase lock loops is summed and returned to the VCO to complete the feedback loop.

New capabilities will allow conventional broadcast transmission to be available to mobile devices. A method is described including the steps of receiving a packet of data having a data payload and a header, byte code encoding the data in the packet, and altering information in the header in response to the byte code encoding. An apparatus is described including an encoder receiving a packet of data and encoding the data using a byte code encoding process and a header modifier altering information in the header in response to the byte code encoding. A decoding apparatus is described including a packet identifier receiving a plurality of data packets, and identifying a data packet based on information in the header, a byte code decoder decoding the identified data packet using a byte code decoding process, and a Reed-Solomon decoder decoding at least the decoded identified data packet using a Reed-Solomon decoding process.

A data-and-pilot directed frequency-and-phase lock loop for an offset-QAM modulated signal having a pilot signal comprising a pilot acquisition loop and a pair of data-directed acquisition loops. The pilot is extracted from the main signal by a pilot filter, then used both by the pilot acquisition loop and to remove the pilot from the signal to the data-directed acquisition loops. The outputs of the pilot and the two data-directed acquisition loops are summed and returned to the VCO to complete the feedback loop.

An equalizer substantially eliminates a ghost of a received main signal by (i) applying coefficients b (where b may be equal to one) to the received main signal and the ghost in order to modulate the received main signal and the ghost so that the received main signal and the ghost are unequal, (ii) applying coefficients a to the modulated received main signal and ghost in order to substantially eliminate the ghost, and (iii) applying coefficients c as a window function to the substantially ghost-free received main signal in order to remove the modulation imposed on the received main signal by the coefficients b.

New capabilities will allow conventional broadcast transmission to be available to mobile devices. A method is described including receiving a data set, extracting a subset, encoding the subset using a first encoding process, combining the encoded subset with the remaining portion, and encoding the combined data set including the appended subset using a second encoding process. an apparatus is described including means for extracting a subset, means for first encoding, means for combining, and means for second encoding. An apparatus for decoding includes a data identifier receiving a data set and identifying a subset of data, a first decoder decoding the subset using a first decoding process, and a second decoder combining the subset of data with a remaining portion of the data set and decoding the combined data using a second decoding process. A method for decoding is also described.

An equalizer for processing blocks of data includes n−1 data shifters, n finite filters, an adder, and a controller. Each of the n−1 data shifters shifts the blocks of data. One of the n finite filters applies a corresponding set of finite filter coefficients to the blocks of data, and each of the other n−1 finite filters applies a set of finite filter coefficients to a corresponding output of the n−1 data shifters. Ghosts of the blocks of data are not eliminated as a result of the application of the n sets of finite filter coefficients corresponding to the n finite filters, and n>2. The adder is arranged to add outputs from the n finite filters. The controller is arranged to control the sets of finite filter coefficients corresponding to the n finite filters so that the addition performed by the adder substantially eliminates the ghosts.

A digital equalizer comprises a matched filter that, in conjunction with an FIR filter, assures a single peak with substantially greater energy than other peaks caused by ghosts, thereby permitting synchronization even with multiple, arbitrarily strong ghosts caused by strong multipathing, multiple transmitters, or both.

摘要:
An equalizer applies a window function to input blocks of data. A first finite filter multiplies each of the windowed input blocks of data with a first set of finite filter coefficients to provide respective first adjusted output blocks of data. This multiplication does not result in a full solution to ghosts. A second finite filter multiplies each of the windowed input blocks of data with a second set of finite filter coefficients to provide respective second adjusted output blocks of data. This multiplication also does not result in a full solution to ghosts. An adder performs an addition based upon corresponding ones of the first and second adjusted output blocks of data. A controller controls the window function and the first and second sets of equalizer coefficients so that, as a result of the addition, a substantially full solution to ghosts is obtained.
