Abstract:
There is provided a scheme for centering data prior to detection. It comprises: determining carrier frequency error, and pre-adjusting the data detection process to compensate for that error throughout the ensuing data detection. This scheme for reliable multilevel data detection further comprises: upon detection of carrier (C2, R5, G1) presence, determining carrier frequency error, gating a voltage associated with the frequency error (R1, R3, C1) to the differential amplification process to establish common mode rejection and compensating for that error throughout the ensuing multi-level data detection, and then analog-to-digital conversion of the differentially amplified multi-level data. A scheme for computationally centering the subsequent data detected (C3, R4) to compensate for the error is also provided.

A sample rate converter includes an upsampling module, a low pass filter, and a linear sample rate conversion module. The upsampling module is operably coupled up-sample a digital input signal having a first rate to produce a digitally up-sampled signal. The low pass filter is operably coupled to low pass filter the digitally up-sampled signal to produce a digitally filtered signal at an up-sampled rate. The linear sample rate conversion module is operably coupled to convert the digitally up-sampled signal into a sample rate adjusted digital signal having a second rate based on an control feedback signal and a linear function, wherein a relationship between the first rate and the second rate is a nonpower of two.
Abstract:
The apparatus (20) for determining a frequency offset error comprises an input (24.1) for receiving a digitally coded frequency demodulated signal (demod lp2). The frequency demodulated signal (demod lp2) is processed by digital means (35) for performing a correlation, and by digital means (36) for performing a minimum-maximum evaluation. In order to determine whether a correlation criterion and a minimum-maximum criterion are fulfilled, the apparatus (20) comprises digital processing means (38) to calculate the current offset of the frequency demodulated signal (demod lp2) and to cancel the current offset if both criteria are fulfilled.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for estimating the DC offset portion of signal, especially of a signal containing parts with sinusoidal shaping, for example a signal which results from demodulation of a frequency modulated receive signal. According to the invention a method is presented for correcting the direct current offset portion (DC offset) of a first signal (Signal 1) which comprises the following steps: - phase shifting the first signal (Signal 1) for obtaining a second signal (Signal 2); comparing the first signal (Signal 1) and the second signal (Signal 2) with an estimated DC offset. The estimated DC offset is adjusted if the result of the comparison is, that the first signal (Signal 1) and the second signal (Signal 2) are on different sides of said estimated DC offset and the estimated DC offset is kept constant as long as the result of the comparison is, that the first signal (Signal 1) and the second signal (Signal 2) are on the same side of the estimated DC offset.
Abstract:
A method of estimating a DC offset value of a signal includes estimating a DC offset value of a preamble part of the signal using a pair of diodes (D1, D2) and a resistor (R) connected in parallel. During receipt of the data part of the signal, the diode pair (D1, D2) is switched out of the circuit by a switch (SW). During reception of the data part, the DC level is estimated using a low pass filter (R, C).

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for compensating for carrier frequency error is disclosed. An FM signal is received from an antenna and the received FM signal is provided to a receiver. The receiver takes the FM signal at the carrier frequency and outputs a baseband signal. This baseband signal is then processed by a DSP which provides carrier frequency compensation and decoding to produce a data stream that a microprocessor provides to a host device. Frequency differences between the FM carrier frequency and the frequency used to demodulate the FM signal can shift the DC bias level of the baseband signal. The DSP compensates for such frequency difference by using a receive compensation value and applying it to each received signal sample. When transmitting, data to be transmitted is provided from the host device to the DSP via a microprocessor. The DSP provides encoding and carrier frequency compensation of the data to provide a baseband signal to a transmitter that modulates the baseband signal to produce anFM signal at a desired carrier frequency. Frequency differences between the desired FM carrier frequency and the frequency used to modulate the baseband signal can produce errors in receiver systems. The DSP compensates for such a frequency difference by using a transmit compensation value and applying it to each encoded signal sample.
