The system is implemented by replacing multiplier with shifters. The system includes a CFO estimation block, a STO estimation block, and a band extraction block that extracts a lower band edge and an upper band edge of the input signal. The STO estimation block includes (i) a sample error generation block that computes a sampling timing error value, and (ii) a Phase Lock Loop block that estimates a frequency error and a phase error corresponding to the sampling timing error value. The CFO estimation block includes (i) a carrier offset error generation block that generates a carrier offset error value, and (ii) a leaky average block for performing a filter operation.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method for implementing a digital filter is provided. The method includes (a) determining a bit-width of an incoming data sample of an incoming signal by measuring a distance between a leading zero or one of the incoming data sample and a trailing zero of the incoming data sample. The incoming data sample is obtained by sampling the incoming signal at a pre-defined time interval, (b) obtaining bit-width multipliers with variable bit-widths based on a first probability distribution function (PDF) of bit-widths of incoming data samples, (c) allocating the incoming data sample and a filter coefficient based on the bit-width of the incoming data sample and a bit-width of the filter coefficient to one bit-width multiplier of the bit-width multipliers, and (d) performing a multiply operation of a Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) operation on the one bit-width multiplier to generate an output of the digital filter.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A system for computing a block floating point scaling factor by detecting a dynamic range of an input signal in a central processing unit without additional overhead cycles is provided. The system includes a dynamic range monitoring unit that detects the dynamic range of the input signal by snooping outgoing write data and incoming memory read data of the input signal. The dynamic range monitoring unit includes a running maximum count unit that stores a least value of a count of leading zeros and leading ones, and a running minimum count that stores a least value of the count of trailing zeros. The dynamic range is detected based on the least value of the count of leading zeros and leading ones and the count of trailing zeros. The system further includes a scaling factor computation module that computes the block floating point (BFP) scaling factor based on the dynamic range.
