  • Publication number: 20230035036
    Abstract: A high-speed data receiver includes interleaver circuitry configured to divide a received data stream into a plurality of interleaved paths for processing, spectral content detection circuitry configured to derive spectral content information from data on each of the plurality of interleaved paths, sorting circuitry configured to bin the derived spectral content information according to energy levels, stream attribute determination circuitry configured to determine, based on sorted spectral content, one or more of path offsets of the interleaved paths, gain mismatch among interleaved paths, signal bandwidth mismatch and pulse width mismatch, and equalization circuitry configured to correct the one or more of the determined offsets, the determined gain mismatch and the determined signal width mismatch.

  • Patent number: 6687315
    Abstract: 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.
