摘要:
A hybrid FIR filter includes a plurality of FIR filter units arranged as Direct Form FIR filters, connected together in an arrangement similar to a Transpose Form FIR filter. The hybrid filter arrangement may be used to configure a larger FIR filter in a programmable logic device having one or more specialized functional blocks, incorporating multipliers and adders, that are particularly well-suited for configuration as small Direct Form FIR filters.

Digital signal processing (“DSP”) circuit blocks are provided that can more easily work together to perform larger (e.g., more complex and/or more arithmetically precise) DSP operations if desired. These DSP blocks may also include redundancy circuitry that facilitates stitching together multiple such blocks despite an inability to use some block (e.g., because of a circuit defect). Systolic registers may be included at various points in the DSP blocks to facilitate use of the blocks to implement systolic form, finite-impulse-response (“FIR”), digital filters.

Circuitry for performing QR decomposition of an input matrix includes multiplication/addition circuitry for performing multiplication and addition/subtraction operations on a plurality of inputs, division/square-root circuitry for performing division and square-root operations on an output of the multiplication/addition circuitry, a first memory for storing the input matrix, a second memory for storing a selected vector of the input matrix, and a selector for inputting to the multiplication/addition circuitry any one or more of a vector of the input matrix, the selected vector, and an output of the division/square-root circuitry. On respective successive passes, a respective vector of the input matrix is read from a first memory into a second memory, and elements of a respective vector of an R matrix of the QR decomposition are computed and the respective vector of the input matrix in the first memory is replaced with the respective vector of the R matrix.

Apparatus, methods and techniques for adjusting the phase offset used in sampling rate conversion uses a Farrow structure or the like to compensate for clock problems such as “clock jitter” and/or “clock drift” effects, which typically arise where one clock is truly independent of the other. A phase offset adjustment value Δμ based on the measured data flow between clock domains across a transition interface and/or through a buffer is calculated. Where an output FIFO buffer is used, the measured data flow value represents the number of data words written to and read from the FIFO buffer, such as the current number of data words stored in the FIFO buffer or a counter value representing the net number of data words written to the FIFO buffer. The measured data flow value is compared to a target data flow value, which may be a range of values. The phase offset adjustment value may be updated and/or recalculated continuously and/or periodically and is added to or subtracted from the phase offset μ as necessary. Such systems are useful in software defined radio and the like and may be implemented on a variety of devices, including PLDs.

A Viterbi decoder capable of decoding a code having a maximum constraint length of Lmax is disclosed. The Viterbi decoder includes an initializer unit that initializes selected states of an encoder during an initial time period to allow the Viterbi decoder to also decode codes having a constraint length less than Lmax.

A method for implementing a pseudo random sequence (PRS) generator is disclosed. Relationships between outputs of flip-flops of an initial model PRS generator at a current time step t with the outputs of the flip-flops at a time step t-n is determined, where n is a number of coefficients to be generated per time step. Flip-flops in the multi-step PRS generator are coupled in response to the relationships between the outputs of the flip-flops at the current time step t with the output of the flip-flops at the time step t-n.
摘要:
In order to reduce the crest factor of a signal for power amplification, a windowing function is applied. The windowing function that is applied is a triangular windowing function. The use of this function produces good results when those results are measured in terms of their effect on a transmitted signal in a WCDMA communications system. The filter for performing the triangular windowing function receives the signal, and applies it to a first delay element. The output from the first delay element is applied to a second delay element. An adder forms a weighted sum of the received signal and the signals at the outputs of the first delay element and the second delay element. A first accumulator is connected to receive an input from the adder and provides a first accumulator output, while a second accumulator is connected to receive an input from the first accumulator output and provides a second accumulator output.

Apparatus and method extract data from a data stream. The method includes oversampling the data stream, performing first processing on adjacent bits of the oversampled data stream, performing second processing the results of the first processing, comparing the results of the second processing, and selecting an alignment of data based on the comparison. The method can be efficiently implemented using accumulators, delay elements, and XOR elements. In this manner, data may be extracted from the data stream despite a varying or unknown phase or duty cycle, or in the presence of jitter.
