Abstract: Disclosed is a method for compensating phase noise. A symbol comprising one or more data sub-symbols and one or more pilot sub-symbols is received (501). A sequence of first phase noise estimates is obtained (502) based at least partly on the one or more pilot sub-symbols. A first filter is used to obtain (503, 507) a first sequence of filtered phase noise estimates from at least a subset of the one or more data sub-symbols based at least partly on the sequence of first phase noise estimates. The first sequence of filtered phase noise estimates is stored (506, 510). Phase noise compensation is applied (512) to the one or more data sub-symbols based at least partly on the first sequence of filtered phase noise estimates.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a waveform processing device. The waveform processing device includes circuitry for receiving an input signal including one or more subsequent orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbol blocks each of which includes a cyclic prefix and an OFDM data block and corresponds to one or more subbands. Further, the waveform processing device includes circuitry for segmenting each OFDM symbol block of the input signal into a set of a pre-defined number of partially overlapping signal blocks of equal length so that non-overlapping samples of the pre-defined number of partially overlapping signal blocks in each set include, in combination, an OFDM data block. Moreover, the waveform processing device includes circuitry for filtering each signal block in each set and for combining the filtered signal blocks in each set using overlap-and-save processing to produce one or more filtered OFDM data blocks for each subband.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a waveform processing device. Said waveform processing device comprises means for performing the following. Upon receiving one or more input signals, each of which corresponds to a different subband, the waveform processing device segments each of the one or more input signals to a subband-specific set of parallel signal blocks. Then, the waveform processing device filters each subband-specific set by applying at least a first time window function, a transform-plane window function and a second time window function in this order. Finally, the waveform processing device concatenates filtered signals to an output signal.

Abstract: A polar modulator arrangement includes a first and a second node to receive a signal having a first and a second component corresponding to an amplitude component and a phase component. A frequency separation device separates the first component into a low-frequency portion and a high-frequency portion depending on a cut-off frequency. The high-frequency portion is nonlinearly filtered and combined with the low-frequency portion to a first processed component. A combination element generates a polar modulated radio frequency signal as a function of the first processed component and the second component.

Abstract: A method for use in an equalization of a channel by means of an equalizer 22, 23 is shown, wherein the channel uses a certain frequency band for a transfer of signals. In order to enable a channel equalization which requires a low complexity and which provides at the same time a good performance, the method determines a channel response for at least one frequency point within the frequency band used by the channel. The method further sets at least one adjustable coefficient (?0k, bck, brk, a0k, a1k, a2k of the equalizer such that an equalizer response compensates optimally the determined channel response at the at least one selected frequency point. Also shown is a corresponding signal processing device 2, a corresponding signal processing system and a corresponding software program product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a filter bank based signal processing system. In order to enable a signal processing with a low complexity and at the same time a good performance, a method is proposed which comprises in a first step performing a filter-bank based analysis for converting a complex higher-rate channel signal into oversampled lower-rate sub-channel signals, each sub-channel corresponding to a different frequency range. In a second step, the proposed method comprises processing the oversampled lower-rate sub-channel signals with a polynomial model of a system frequency response within the frequency range of the respective sub-channel. The invention relates equally to a unit and a system comprising means for realizing the proposed method.
