    摘要: According to various embodiments, apparatus and methods disclosed herein may be implemented in a digital communication (wired or wireless) receiver, and relate to minimizing noise in an estimated channel frequency response at the receiver for the purposes of channel equalization. The disclosed apparatus and methods may include determining a channel impulse response based on an estimated channel frequency response. The estimated channel frequency response, the channel impulse response, or both may include noise. An impulse response mask may be determined based on the channel impulse response, and further applied to the channel impulse response to obtain a noise-reduced channel impulse response, which may be Fourier transformed to obtain a noise-reduced channel frequency response.

    摘要: In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (“OFDM”) system, the problem of an interferer reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of a signal can be mitigated by generating an interferer-correction signal and subtracting it from the signal to be processed. The amplitude, frequency and phase of the interferences are determined first. The frequency is estimated by averaging the squared-magnitude of multiple FFTs of the incoming signal and then locating the spectral peaks. The phase and amplitude may be estimated from this FFT outputs or through a process of correlation in the time domain. The interferer-correction signal is generated from the estimated amplitude, frequency, and phase. The correction to be subtracted from the main signal in order to reduce the effect of the interference may be generated in the time or frequency domain. The subtraction of the correction may also be implemented in the time or frequency domains.

    摘要: Methods and systems to resolve cyclic ambiguity of a scattered-pilot based channel impulse response as a function of transmission parameter signalling (TPS), such as in a single frequency network, including to zero-pad a first orientation of the channel impulse response to an interval of an effective symbol duration of the multi-carrier signal, compute a channel frequency response from the zero-padded first orientation of the channel impulse response, and correlate components of the channel frequency response corresponding to frequencies of TPS carriers with raw channel frequency response data of obtained from the TPS carriers. Frequency response components of multiple zero-padded orientations of the channel impulse response may be correlated with the raw TPS carrier data to identify an optimum orientation of the channel impulse response. Frequency response components of subsequent zero-padded orientations may be iteratively computed from components of preceding orientations.

    摘要: A channel estimator for use in a DVB-T system is capable of high Doppler performance without incurring restrictive delay spread limitations, in a hardware efficient manner. A first channel impulse response is generated that has ambiguity due to under-sampling in the frequency domain. A filter is then used to filter scattered pilots to generate a mask that is capable of resolving the ambiguities. In at least one approach, a finite impulse response filter is used during the mask generation process to generate a snapshot of the channel frequency response in non-real time. In another approach, an infinite impulse response filter is used during the mask generation process to generate a channel frequency response in real time.

    摘要: An approach is provided to mitigate phase noise by correcting common phase error and inter-carrier-interference in a received signal. The approach involves determining a received signal includes phase noise comprising at least a common phase error component and an inter-carrier-interference component. The approach also involves causing the common phase error to be corrected based on one or more pilot carriers. The approach further involves causing an estimate of a main signal component to be subtracted from the one or more pilot carriers. The approach additionally involves determining a sequence of estimated coefficients of a multiplicative phase noise sequence. The approach also involves causing the inter-carrier-inference to be corrected by processing the multiplicative phase noise sequence using the sequence of estimated coefficients. The approach further involves causing an equalized data signal to be output based on the corrected common phase error and the corrected inter-carrier-interference.
