Patent number: 12231927Abstract: Method for variable arbitrary resampling that allows a base station test system to correct for sampling frequency errors relative to the base station. An output time calculation module obtains the required output sample times depending on the resampling rate, which can be tuned as needed. An input sample counter module counts the last input sample loaded into a polyphase interpolator, which can calculate any of M interpolated samples between two consecutive input samples. The polyphase interpolator uses the integer part of the required output sample times to decide what interpolated samples to calculate. A sequencer module compares the calculated output times against the input sample count to control all the blocks of the variable arbitrary resampler and determine if the output of the polyphase interpolator is a valid sample. Valid samples are transferred to other subsystems, such as a digital-to-analog data converter or another signal processing module.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: VIAVI Solutions Inc.Inventors: Pablo Perez Lara, John Dominic Wilson
