  • Patent number: 8358722
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a signal processing apparatus including a processing block configured to perform a carrier shift amount detection process for detecting a carrier shift amount constituting a carrier error used for demodulating an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal known as the OFDM signal; and a correction block configured to correct the OFDM signal in accordance with the carrier shift amount. The OFDM signal includes a first preamble signal including subcarriers, and a second preamble signal including subcarriers of which the spacing is narrower than the spacing of the subcarriers included in the first preamble signal. The second preamble signal includes pilot signals which are known signals located at intervals of a predetermined number of subcarriers. The processing block detects the carrier shift amount using a correlation of the subcarriers included in one such second preamble signal.

  • Publication number: 20110142176
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a receiving apparatus for receiving an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, namely, OFDM signal having a frame having one frame length of a plurality of patterns, including: an acquiring section configured to acquire information on a preamble signal from the OFDM signal transmitted from a transmitting apparatus in accordance with an OFDM system; a frame determining section configured to determine whether or not the one frame length is short in the frame based on the information on the preamble signal acquired from the acquiring section; and a time interpolating section configured to obtain transmission path characteristics by comparing a pilot contained in the preamble signal and a known pilot corresponding to the pilot in a phase of transmission with each other when the frame determining section determines that the one frame length is short in the frame, and interpolate a data portion in a time direction based on the transmission path characteristics thus obtained.

  • Publication number: 20110099445
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reception apparatus, including an acquisition section adapted to receive a signal which includes at least one of a first signal and a second signal which have different structures from each other except that the first and second signals have a preamble signal and acquire the preamble signal from the received signal; a detection section adapted to detect a value for correcting the signal using the signal; and a correction section adapted to correct, if it is decided based on the preamble signal acquired by the acquisition section that the signal is the first signal, the signal using the value detected by the detection section.
