    摘要: A system and method for processing an input matrix and a MIMO receiver employing the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a transformer configured to receive a frame of complex data representing only some elements of an input matrix and perform a fast plane rotation on the complex data to yield rotated data and (2) a matrix updater coupled to the transformer and configured to update a memory configured to contain an output matrix with the rotated data. In one embodiment, the system and method are to estimate and mitigate alien cross-talk experienced in a vectored DSL communication system.

    摘要: A novel and useful system and method for extracting timing, time and additional information from a broadcast received in a radio controlled clock (RCC) receiver. The RCC receiver extracts timing information represented by a known synchronization sequence that is used for acquisition and tracking purposes. The RCC receiver extracts time information as a merged 26-bit time information word linearly coded into 31 bits comprising the number of minutes (or hours) since the turn of the current century. A minute counter representing the 26 bits is converted into the date, hour, and minute. The RCC extracts additional information including the schedule for the next daylight saving time transition and for an imminent leap second. The communications protocol optionally employs error correcting codes to provide protection for data fields in the frame, which the RCC may use to enhance reception reliability in the presence of noise and interference.

    摘要: Cost-effective structures and methods that allow an integrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to simultaneously achieve wide dynamic ranges and bandwidths through the use of built-in measurement and compensation mechanisms that are primarily digital. The measurements of the DAC's distortions are made with a relatively simple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that is not designed to accommodate the combination of the bandwidth and the resolution offered by the DAC, but is nonetheless sufficient in determining the characteristics of the DAC's impairments during a calibration procedure. This information is then used in a feed-forward compensation system during the DAC's normal operation to estimate and cancel the distortions in its output signal that could result from the various impairments.

    摘要: A novel and useful multi-antenna receiver that receives, demodulates and decodes a broadcast signal, whose modulation and encoding of time and timing information allow for reliable and power-efficient operation. The multi-antenna receiver of the present invention is adapted to eliminate or substantially reduce the reception nulls that occur in receivers having a single antenna that is placed in a fixed position. Two or more antennas are employed whereby the receiver generates a combined signal based on a combination of the individual antenna signals or selects one of the antenna signals for input to the receiver based on desired criteria such as signal-to-noise-and-interference-ratio (SNIR). This results in greater robustness of the communication link by reducing or eliminating reception nulls and by rejecting interference through the selection of the antenna for which the signal-to-interference ratio is higher. The invention includes various antenna configurations that are adapted to reuse a single core for multiple antennas or to otherwise reduce size and/or cost.

    摘要: A configurable system and method for a radio controlled clock (RCC) receiver adapted to apply different strategies for extracting timing and time information from a phase modulated signal depending on the type of application the RCC is used in and on the reception conditions. The official time signal is broadcast from a central location using a modulation scheme which includes phase modulation that alternates between different information rates, allowing for multiple alternative reception modes that are suited for different ranges of signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR). The operation of the RCC is configured by the application that hosts it, such that the reception performance and the energy consumption best suit that application. The reception mode used by the RCC at a given time may be selected automatically, i.e. without user intervention, based on the device's profile of operation and the reception conditions.
