  • Patent number: 7139289
    Abstract: In an error and sync detection circuit, 7-bit byte data is rearranged by a data rearrangement block into 8-bit byte data where 1 byte is comprised of 8 bits. Thereafter, the 8-bit byte data is consistently used throughout the process, and each of such byte data is stored in a data storage block, which is a RAM. In a parity check block, a sync detection operation and a parity check operation are performed on the byte data from the data rearrangement block and the byte data from the data storage block, which has been delayed by 1496 clocks. Thus, the byte-to-byte conversion process eliminates the need for a parallel-to-serial conversion circuit and a serial-to-parallel conversion circuit. Use of a RAM for storing the byte data eliminates the need for a 1496-stage delay element.

    Abstract: A waveform equalization coefficient generator for generating equalization coefficients for taps of digital filters for equalizing signal waveforms is disclosed which is smaller in circuit size and consumes less electric power in comparison with conventional waveform equalization coefficient generators. In a data selection means in a complex arithmetic unit, a first data selection unit selects between real part data and imaginary part data of an equalization coefficient, a second data selection unit selects between real part data and imaginary part data of a received signal, and a third data selection unit selects between EI (error data in the I-axis direction) and EQ (error data in the Q-axis direction). A sum-of-products means is provided which has one multiplier and one adder.

  • Patent number: 6421378
    Abstract: Integrating AFC/APC function with waveform equalization function for and reducing the circuit size of a signal wave-form equalizer apparatus. A waveform equalization section is divided into an FFE block as an anterior stage and a DFE block as a posterior stage. An AFC/APC block is provided therebetween. In the AFC/APC block, an AFC/APC coefficient update section updates a coefficient used for removing frequency and phase errors in accordance with an LMS algorithm, and a tap multiplies a modulated signal by the updated coefficient. Error data produced by an error estimation block is used by not only FFE and DFE coefficient update sections but also the AFC/APC coefficient update section for updating the coefficients. That is to say, the waveform equalization section and the AFC/APC block use the error estimation block in common, thereby reducing the circuit size considerably.

  • Patent number: 6374384
    Abstract: The Reed-Solomon error-correcting circuit in accordance with a first invention is constructed so as to perform parallel operation by two-step pipelined processing in a syndrome generating circuit and an error-correcting circuit. The error-correcting circuit operates in synchronization with a clock with a period of 1/N the period of the received symbol clock, where N≧1, and N is an integer. Further, an error-locator-polynomial/error-evaluator-polynomial calculating circuit in the error-correcting circuit has a memory in which the syndrome is input and a Galois-field operations circuit that is connected to the memory. By these means, the Reed-Solomon error-correcting circuit in the present invention performs high-speed processing with small-scale hardware. Further, in an Euclid's algorithm that obtains an error-locator-polynomial, by performing Galois-field operations, from the syndrome equation S(z)=sk−1zk−1+sk−2zk−2+ . . .
