  • Patent number: 5612975
    Abstract: A digital receiver includes a tuner and a demodulator that obtains a modulated signal carried in a received analog signal. A digital-to-analog converter operates at a preselected fixed sampling rate on the modulated signal to produce a first sequence of digitized samples. The first sequence of digitized samples is processed by a digital rotator to frequency-and phase-correct the first sequence of digitized samples. A controllable digital filter processes the first sequence to produce a filter output including a second sequence of digitized samples at a symbol rate. The second sequence is processed to ascertain a symbol rate of the modulated signal. The controllable filter coefficients are automatically varied to accommodate changes in the symbol rate of the modulated signal, so that the sampling rate of the digital-to-analog converter need not change.

  • Patent number: 4879720
    Abstract: A decoding system capable of outputting Viterbi-decoding-algorithm-decoded data at a predetermined rate that is greater than a given rate at which coded data is processed in accordance with said algorithm to produce the decoded data. The system includes a data input bus; a data output bus; a ring of decoders, with each decoder being coupled to the input bus for receiving coded data from the input bus and coupled to the output bus for providing decoded data onto the output bus. Each of the decoders in the ring includes an input buffer, timing controller, decoding processor and output buffer. The input buffer responds to a start-input signal from a preceding decoder in the ring by buffering a block of the received coded data. The timing contoller provides a start-input signal to a succeeding decoder in the ring at such time as to cause the succeeding decoder to receive a block of coded data from the input bus that overlaps the block of coded data received from the input bus by the instant said decoder.
