  • Publication number: 20110135042
    Abstract: A blind scan system in a DVB-S system includes a spectrum parameter extractor to fetch and calculate a coarse carrier frequency offset and coarse symbol rate of a signal; a digital mixer to depend on the coarse frequency offset to shift the center of a spectrum of the signal to a position where a DC part of a working spectrum of a digital matched filter locates, so as to produce an offset signal; and an interpolator to perform a down-sampling on the offset signal according to the coarse symbol rate in order to improve the in-band signal-to-noise ratio of the digital matched filter and mitigate impacts due to adjacent channel interferences. Thus, the fine carrier frequency offset and fine symbol rate estimation can be performed accurately.

  • Publication number: 20110129045
    Abstract: A method and device for acquiring a channel with a frequency offset less than half symbol rate is applied but not limited to a DVB-S system. A target channel is selected to obtain a carrier frequency and a symbol rate for programming a tuner to obtain a digital baseband signal. A down-sampling factor is calculated based on the symbol rate for performing a down-sampling operation to obtain a down-sampling signal that passes through a digital matched filter to generate a filtered spectrum. A moving average and spectrum inversion is applied to detect location of the target channel and find two cross points thereby estimating a coarse carrier frequency offset for compensating the tuner and a coarse symbol rate. A fine carrier frequency offset and a symbol rate estimate are estimated for compensating and acquiring the target channel when the target channel is successfully detected.

  • Publication number: 20110115638
    Abstract: A method for controlling a cleaning device is presented, which includes the following steps. A cleaning device includes a control unit, a fan module, an optical emitter, and an optical sensor. The optical emitter and the optical sensor are located in an air inlet of the fan module. The control unit is preset with a first impedance value (Z1), a second impedance value (Z2), and a threshold, where 0<Z1<Z2. Then, the control unit reads an impedance value (Z) of the fan module. If Z1<Z<Z2, the control unit drives the fan module. If Z2<Z, the control unit reads a detected value of the optical sensor. If the detected value exceeds the threshold, the control unit drives the fan module, so as to increase a suction force of the fan module. If the detected value is smaller than the threshold, the control unit turns off the fan module.
