Abstract:
A signal processing apparatus is provided. The signal processing apparatus includes an inner-code decoder, an outer-code decoder, and an error detection unit. The inner-code decoder decodes an input data stream to generate a first output data stream, wherein the input data stream is coded using a concatenated coding scheme including an outer coding and an inner coding. The outer-code decoder decodes the first output data stream to generate a second output data stream. The error detection unit performs an error detection upon the second output data stream to generate an error detection result. The decision logic sets error indication information of the second output data stream according to at least the error detection result.
Abstract:
A multi-path receiving system is provided. The multi-path receiving system includes a multi-path analyzer, a channel estimator and an equalizer. The multi-path analyzer analyzes a channel impulse response (CIR) of the multi-path channel from the received stream. The channel estimator calculates a channel estimation result from the received stream. The channel estimator comprises a frequency domain interpolation filter performing channel estimation. The frequency domain interpolation filter consumes an amount of power according to the CIR result output from the multi-path analyzer. The equalizer equalizes the received stream based on the channel estimation result.
