  • Publication number: 20070104264
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a decision feedback equalizing apparatus and a method thereof. The object of the invention is to provide to an apparatus and a method of decision feedback equalization that make a channel property of an inferior receiving signal to mild by using a channel-matched filter and decreases decision errors of symbol detector output signals by using a trellis decoder with decreased complexity, whose trace back depth is 1 (TBD=1).

  • Patent number: 7123653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to blind decision feedback equalization. The present invention selects one of a filter signal and a quantized signal as an input signal of a feedback filter in the DFE and update the tap coefficient according to the SAG flag f[k] by including a main filtering unit, a SAG flag determining unit and a blind feedback controlling unit. The present invention prevents decrement of a performance caused by an error propagation and also improve a convergence performance in an equalization apparatus and reduce a symbol error rate (SER) at a steady state after converging. In conclusion, the present invention can be used effectively to a receiver in a digital TV, which is required the blind equalizer.

  • Publication number: 20060171701
    Abstract: A lens unit for a camera module having an optical filter therein is provided. The lens unit includes a casing, a plurality of lenses, an optical filter, and a fixing member. The casing has a light-receiving hole formed in one side thereof and has a structure in which a cavity is formed. The lenses are aligned in the inside of the casing to transmit light that passes through the light-receiving hole. The optical filter is disposed in the inside of the casing to block a partial wavelength of light and the fixing member maintains the lenses and the optical filter at an aligned state in the inside of the casing. A separate optical filter doesn't need to be mounted in the camera module but is integrally formed in the inside of the casing, so that inflow of foreign substance during the manufacturing process is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20060098728
    Abstract: The conventional decision feedback equalizer has a drawback that can't decide symbols correctly because a simple slicer is used as a symbol detector. A decision feedback equalizer as a symbol detector uses a Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) decoder whose Trace Back depth is 1 (TBD=1), to thereby decide symbols correctly without decoding delay.
