To provide an apparatus for calculation of correlation that can take in correlation even when a frequency error is relatively large. With a 0-th degree correlator for taking, to output, a correlation between a reference signal and a measurement signal, an n-th degree correlator including an ej&ohgr;t multiplier for calculating a frequency component addition signal having a frequency component added to the reference signal, and a correlation calculator for taking, to output, a correlation between the frequency component addition signal and the measurement signal, and an adder for adding an output of the 0-th degree correlator and an output of the n-th degree correlator, it is achieved that the output of the 0-th degree correlator and the output of the n-th degree correlator added at the adder do not have an increased noise/correlation value ratio, even when a frequency error is large. Accordingly, a correlation can be taken even with an increased frequency error.

A first automatic phase control (APC) detection circuit generates an APC detection signal having normal polarity from an amplitude modulation signal and APC detection reference signal. A second APC detection circuit generates an APC detection signal having reverse polarity from the amplitude modulation signal and the APC detection reference signal. A switch selects the APC detection signal having normal polarity in case of normal modulation and selects the APC detection signal having reverse polarity in case of overmodulation.

A receiver for restoring a data signal from a data input signal, comprises a data detector and a control signal generator coupled to the data detector for controlling one or more loops in the data detector, such as an automatic gain control, an equalizer adaptation and/or a timing recovery loop. The receiver also comprises erasure means for generating an instantaneous erasure information signal in case the data input signal to be restored falls within an erasure zone, which erasure means are coupled to the control signal generator for essentially instantaneous use of the instantaneous erasure information for accurate loop control. Preferably the respective control signals are kept constant in time during periods of erasure.

In a contactless IC card system, a modulating circuit manufactured in an IC form is operable at a high power efficiency. The demodulating apparatus is configured to include: first signal output means for outputting a first output signal having a predetermined phase with respect to that of an input signal, a second signal output means for outputting a second output signal having a predetermined phase with respect to that of the input signal, gate means for gating at least the second output signal, calculation means for adding, or subtracting the first output signal and the second output signal; and control means for controlling the operation of the gate means in response to a logic level of input data.

A method of communication between a master unit and a slave unit is of the type including the transmission of messages comprising a useful information word, as well as one or more service bits. The messages include two bits to encode the end-of-transmission information. The value of these bits provides information on the nature of the useful information transmitted to thereby improve the integrity of the communications.

The log-add kernel operation is represented as a summation of an average and a correction factor composed of a constant and a term based on a difference between the input arguments. In a described embodiment, the correction factor is approximated using the reduction of the correction factor into a Taylor series expansion, which may be defined around the difference between the input arguments as approximately zero. The approach may be further optimized to provide the Taylor series expansion as being modified to compute the correction factor with simple additions, multiplications, and shift operations. If the input arguments are close to each other, the new computed representation may be used, and if the arguments are further apart, the max operation is used. The log-add kernel operation also may be extended to more than two arguments, for application, for example, in the kernel operation of the generalized Viterbi decoder with a branch fan-in greater than 2. Additionally, a method of computing bit soft values for symbols of a higher-order modulation using log-add operations is disclosed, where each log-add is provided as an approximation including a primary term and a parameterized correction factor. Performance close to the optimal soft value generation is achieved at roughly the same complexity as the dual-min algorithm.

A method of outputting a demodulation result for soft-decision decoding is provided, which is comprised of the steps of: (a) detecting a channel distortion of a received signal generated in a communication channel using a training signal contained in the received signal and a reference training signal, outputting a channel distortion data: (b) generating a distortion-based reliability data from the channel distortion data; (c) compensating the received signal using the channel distortion data, generating a compensated, received signal; (d) demodulating the compensated, received signal and deciding the received signal thus demodulated using a soft decision technique, outputting a decision result; and (e) outputting a demodulation result using the decision result and the distortion-based reliability data.

A desired signal and at least one interfering signal are joint demodulated with a Viterbi equalizer having an adaptive total number of states. The total number of states is based on channel impulse response (CIR) coefficients associated with the desired signal and the at least one interfering signal.

There is provided a decoder and a decoding method for decoding data modulated with a recursive systematic convolutional code (RSC) in a mobile communication system. In the decoder, a branch metric calculating circuit (BMC) calculates branch metrics (BMs) associated with a plurality of input symbols. An add-compare-select circuit (ACS) receives the BMs and previous path metrics (PMs) and generates an plurality of path selectors and LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) data including the plurality of path selectors and reliability information at a first time instant. A maximum likelihood (ML) state searcher has a plurality of cells in an array with rows and columns, connected to one another according to an encoder trellis, cells in each row having a process time, Ds, for outputting the same value of the cells in the last column as an ML state value representing an ML path in response to the path selectors. A delay delays the LLR data received from the ACS by the time Ds. An LLR update circuit has a plurality of processing elements (PEs) in an array with rows and columns, connected according to the encoder trellis, PEs in each row having a process time, DL, for generating updated LLR values from the PEs at a time instant (first time instant−approximately DS+DL) in response to the delayed LLR data received from the delay. A selector selects one of the updated LLR values based on the ML state value.

The invention provides a single chip implementation of a digital receiver for multicarrier signals that are transmitted by orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. Improved channel estimation and correction circuitry are provided. The receiver has highly accurate sampling rate control and frequency control circuitry. BCH decoding of tps data carriers is achieved with minimal resources with an arrangement that includes a small Galois field multiplier. An improved FFT window synchronization circuit is coupled to the resampling circuit for locating the boundary of the guard interval transmitted with the active frame of the signal. A real-time pipelined FFT processor is operationally associated with the FFT window synchronization circuit and operates with reduced memory requirements.
