Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an analog television broadcast signal receiving apparatus including: a tuner section configured to convert an analog television broadcast signal into a predetermined intermediate frequency band signal; a demodulation circuit section configured to obtain a picture output signal and a sound intermediate frequency signal from the predetermined intermediate frequency band signal coming from the tuner section; a picture processing circuit section configured to convert the picture output signal into a display-ready picture signal; a sound demodulation processing circuit section configured to demodulate the sound intermediate frequency signal; and a control section.
Abstract:
A frequency interleaving circuit frequency-interleaves main signals generated according to sound data by parameters set according to frequencies of transmission channels. A sub-signal generating circuit generates sub-signals for transmission control including pilot signals. Mapping circuits modulate the sub-signals by using pseudo-random sequences generated based on initial values of random codes set according to frequencies of transmission channels. The frequency-interleaved main signals and the sub-signals modulated by the mapping circuits are OFDM-modulated. Then, they are converted to the frequencies of the transmission channels. An increase of a dynamic range of transmission signals can be suppressed by controlling the initial values of random codes set.

Abstract:
An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) demodulating apparatus includes a delay profile creating section, a Fourier converting section, a pilot signal extracting section, a transmission path characteristic estimating section, an inverse Fourier converting section, and a window control section. In this case, the window control section creates a delay profile for defining a calculation range by leaving a path which exists at a same position in both the delay profiles created by the delay profile creating section and the inverse Fourier converting section and the number of times of detection which is equal to or higher than a threshold value and defines a higher threshold value for the path at a predetermined position from the position of the main path within the delay profile created by the inverse Fourier converting section than for the paths at the other positions.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for receiving an OFDM signal arranged to reproduce correct carriers. I channel data and Q channel data decomposed into subcarrier components by FFT processing are differential-demodulated by a differential demodulation circuit to remove an FFT window phase error and a reproducing carrier phase error. In a differential demodulation circuit, a reproducing carrier frequency error and a phase error dependent on a reproducing clock frequency error are removed and only I-axis data is thereafter output to be stored in a RAM with respect each symbol. A pilot signal selecting data generation circuit supplies the RAM with data which is prepared by suitably shifting pilot signal selecting data used as a reference. Resulting Data read out is accumulated by cumulative addition performed by a cumulative addition circuit. A maximum value detection circuit detects a maximum value of the output from the cumulative addition circuit, and the amount of shift of pilot signal selecting data is stored in a reproducing carrier frequency error storage circuit. The reproducing carrier frequency error storage circuit outputs the amount of shift corresponding to the maximum value.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for receiving an OFDM signal arranged to accurately reproduce a clock signal. I channel data and Q channel data are differential-demodulated by a differential demodulation circuit and are supplied to a ROM. The ROM reads out an intersymbol phase change amount corresponding to the differential-demodulated data and supplies it to a gate circuit. The gate circuit extracts only a component corresponding to each of pilot signals in the input data, and supplies the extracted component to a sign inversion circuit and to a selector. The selector selects the output from the gate circuit if the pilot signal is a positive frequency value or the output from the sign inversion circuit if the pilot signal is a negative frequency value, and supplies the obtained value to a cumulative addition circuit. The cumulative addition circuit performs cumulative addition of values output from the selector over a symbol period, and outputs the addition result to an average circuit. The average circuit averages the output from the cumulative addition circuit and controls the frequency of oscillation of a clock signal according to a value obtained by the average circuit.
