    摘要: A channel equalizing device and method of a digital broadcasting receiving system in which a digital broadcasting signal received over a channel is compensated for a channel distortion to recover an original signal is provided. The channel equalizing device includes: a channel estimating unit for estimating and outputting a channel impulse response of a signal, which is received over a transmission channel; a channel characteristic detecting unit for determining as to whether a channel characteristic is a dynamic channel or a static channel by using a difference between the channel impulse response estimated at a current time and outputted from the channel estimating unit and the channel impulse response estimated at a previous time; and a channel equalizing unit for controlling a parameter of an internal filter depending on the channel characteristic detected by the channel characteristic detecting unit, to compensate the received signal for the channel distortion.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing equalization for a communication channel is provided. The invention uses edge transition samples, such as those obtained for phase detection in a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit, to determine the amount of equalization to be applied to signals received from a communication channel. By monitoring run lengths of consecutive identical bits received from the communication channel, the invention provides equalization for various frequency components present in the receive signal. One embodiment of the invention subtracts a weighted RC-filtered version of the receive signal from the unfiltered receive signal to provide an equalized receive signal. In this embodiment, a control circuit that monitors the received run lengths and edge transition information adjusts the resistance of the RC filter to adapt the equalization to the data being received and the potentially time varying conditions for the communication channel. Other embodiments of the invention use an analog finite impulse response filter, digital finite impulse response filter, analog decision feedback equalizer, digital decision feedback equalizer, analog forward feedback equalizer, or digital forward feedback equalizer to provide equalization based on the same information.

    摘要: A multiband audio frequency signal limiting apparatus suitable for use in a wide range of applications is disclosed. An input signal is divided into discrete frequency bands (any practical number is suitable) which are each passed through a separate limited and subsequently summed to obtain an output signal. The summed output signal is fed into an automatic limit threshold circuit which generates a third signal, the Automatic Limit Threshold (ALT) signal, which modifies a common limiting threshold reference for the bands. This causes the bands to limit at a higher or lower threshold level and the band output levels to increase or decrease in direct proportion to the threshold level of limiting. The ALT signal cause the bands to limit at a lower threshold when the energy content of the various bands would combine toward higher values, which could thus generate a larger than desired output signal level. In this way, the summed output signal will be servoed towards one hundred percent level regardless of the input audio frequency bandwidth (and consequently the individual relative band energy content).

Apparatus is provided between the pickup circuits and the normal defect compensation apparatus of the player to detect the presence of the external signals and to activate the normal defect compensation apparatus when the external signals are of a relatively high frequency and above a variable offset or threshold level.

    摘要: This is a seismic digital recording system for use where the seismic amplifiers are placed near the geophone locations and their outputs transmitted by common cable to the recording truck or recorded on magnetic tape at the geophone location. In such a digital recording system, it is impractical to use a high-speed, high gain-ranging amplifier of 15 or 16 bits range. In our design the gain-ranging amplifier is high-speed but employs fewer bits total range. The extra range is made up in a preamplifier which has a variable range of gain, which can be automatically set, but at slower speed. The invention involves a control system which is responsive to the output of an A/D converter which is connected to the output of the gain-ranging amplifier. This control examines the bit output of the A/D converter throughout the whole record and, depending on whether the most significant bit is a 0 or 1, and whether the less significant bits are 0 or 1, it acts to control the gain of the preamplifier on the suceeding record by increasing the gain, decreasing the gain, or leaving the gain set at its instant value. The gain of the preamplifier can be adjusted by 6-db steps for each succeeding record until it reaches a value for which the operation of the gain-ranging amplifier is optimum.

    摘要: A signal limiter for reducing and increasing the gain of a circuit with the required speed of response without introducing distortion in the limiter output. The limiter includes a variable gain circuit having an output coupled to a detector in a feedback loop. The detector develops a DC signal which is then coupled back to the gain control device to reduce or increase the gain in accordance with the output signal level. A charging circuit is coupled to a point between the detector and the gain controlling device to hold a high level signal appearing at the output of the detector for a given time interval. Switching means are then provided to discharge the charging circuit after the lapse of a predetermined time interval to allow the gain to return to normal. This assures that the gain of the gain controlling device will not fluctuate in response to every signal waveform peak. Such rapid fluctuations would result in distortion at the output of the limiter. The switching circuit consists of several forms. One of the forms comprises a transistor having a second charging circuit coupled to the emitter thereof. The discharge time of the second charging circuit allows the transistor to be turned on to discharge the main charging circuit and allow the gain of the gain controlling device to return to normal. In a second form, the second charging circuit is coupled to the base of the transistor, and the operation is similar to that described above. In a further embodiment, a switching means of any general configuration may be provided in shunt with the main charging circuit and operated according to a given timing sequence. In another embodiment, a zener diode may be used to discharge the principal charging circuit when the voltage applied to the anode thereof through a second charging circuit decreases to a given level.

    摘要: Limiters are known utilizing a shunt FET rendered conductive by a smoothed control signal to attenuate a signal. In this invention distortion is reduced by effecting positive feedback of half of the FET output voltage via a control signal smoothing capacitor or by putting the FET across a balanced line on the output side of a phase splitter. Furthermore, by using two or more shunt FETs having different thresholds, better control of the attenuation characteristics over the whole dynamic range is possible.
