    摘要: An apparatus for estimating carrier frequency offset includes an Mth-power circuit, a spectrum generating circuit, a spectrum adjusting circuit, a peak frequency determining circuit and a frequency offset determining circuit. The Mth-power circuit performs an Mth-power calculation on an input signal to generate an Mth-power calculation result. The spectrum generating circuit generates a spectrum according to the Mth-power calculation result. The spectrum adjusting circuit identifies a partial energy peak value in a partial frequency range from the spectrum, and increases the partial energy peak value to be higher than any other energy in the spectrum to generate an adjusted spectrum. The peak frequency determining circuit identifies a peak frequency having a maximum energy peak value from the adjusted spectrum. The frequency offset determining circuit determines an estimated carrier frequency offset result according to the peak frequency.

    摘要: A receiving circuit capable of estimating frequency offset includes a front circuit and a calculation circuit. The front circuit receives a remote signal to generate a received signal. The calculation circuit includes: an exponentiation module, calculating an exponent of a power to generate a high-order signal; a frequency-domain transform module, performing frequency-domain transform on the high-order signal to generate a spectrum; a peak searching module, searching for a peak of the amplitude of the spectrum to generate a peak coordinate value reflecting a frequency where the peak occurs; an offset estimating module, adding the peak coordinate value with a compensation value to generate a sum, dividing the sum by a first divisor to generate a remainder, subtracting the compensation value from the remainder to generate a difference, and dividing the difference by a second divisor to generate an offset estimation value reflecting the frequency offset.

    摘要: The present disclosure teaches methods for digitally transmitting data. An example method may include: receiving a modulated signal containing at least one useful signal or noise or interference signals; repeatedly estimating at least one parameter of the received signal relevant to the demodulation of the useful signal; monitoring changes in the repeatedly estimated parameters; and detecting a useful signal based at least in part on whether one or more changes in the repeatedly estimated parameters satisfy at least one particular, predefined condition.

    摘要: Described are systems and methods of determining DC offset voltages in IQ modulators. First, two different DC test voltages are selected for one of the inputs to the IQ modulator. Then, a first test voltage is applied to one input to the IQ modulator while test data is generated by measuring outputs from a set of signals applied to the other input to the IQ modulator. Then the second test voltage is applied and another set of test data generated. From the first and second sets of test data, second-order polynomial functions may be constructed and compared to one another to yield a ratio of power value outputs. Then the DC offset voltages may be determined from the ratio of power value outputs.

    摘要: Various embodiments provide for systems and methods for signal conversion of one modulated signal to another modulated signal using demodulation and then re-modulation. According to some embodiments, a signal receiving system may comprise an I/Q demodulator that demodulates a first modulated signal to an in-phase (“I”) signal and a quadrature (“Q”) signal, an I/Q signal adjustor that adaptively adjusts the Q signal to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a transitory signal that is based on a second modulated signal, and an I/Q modulator that modulates the I signal and the adjusted Q signal to the second modulated signal. To increase the SNR, the Q signal may be adjusted based on a calculated error determined for the transitory signal during demodulation by a demodulator downstream from the I/Q modulator.

    摘要: A receiver is a Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial/Handheld (DVB-T/H) receiver. The DVB-T/H receiver comprises a phase error corrector and a channel estimation and equalization element. The phase error corrector rotates a signal in accordance with an estimate of a phase error, e.g., CPE, which is determined as a function of channel state information (CSI) provided by the channel estimation and equalization element.
