Direct synthesis of OFDM receiver clock
09769003 · 2017-09-19 · ·

This application presents a direct data recovery from subspaces or parameters subranges of a received OFDM signal preidentified as corresponding to specific data symbols, by applying adaptive inverse signal transformation (AIST) method for reversing both original data coding and deterministic and random distortions introduced by a transmission channel, wherein both reversals are achieved by the same conversion of the subspaces or parameter subranges into data transmitted originally in order to eliminate an intermediate recovery of signals or parameters transmitted originally within the received OFDM signal. The AIST includes using both amplitudes and gradients of amplitudes of OFDM tone signals.

LOW POWER BIQUAD SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20210409004 · 2021-12-30 ·

Biquad stage systems and methods include receiving at biquad sections a signal sample, generating, by each biquad section, a pair of output values based on the signal sample, including a first value based on fixed-point processing path and a second value emulating a floating-point processing path, and accumulating the pair of output values from each of the plurality of biquad sections to generate an output signal. The biquad stage receives an N-bit input signal, which is processed by a biquad section. Delay elements delay the signal sample before input to other biquad sections. The delayed signal sample is input to the first processing path and the second processing path of a corresponding biquad stage. By performing the processing based on two paths, a more accurate result can be found when using a reduced word length in the multiply operations resulting in a lowering of the power consumption.

PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATIONS OF FRAME FILTERS WITH RECURSIVE TRANSFER FUNCTIONS
20210384892 · 2021-12-09 ·

The exemplary embodiments provide a parallel implementation of filters with recursive transfer functions. This can enable a filter to act as a frame filter that may process a frame of multiple samples of data in parallel rather than being limited to processing a single sample of data at a time. Each frame contains plural input samples of data values. The input samples are from a common source and have a time dependency. The exemplary embodiments are suitable for implementing various types of filters in parallel, such as cascaded integrator comb filters, biquad filters and other types of infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. The exemplary embodiments may use polyphase decomposition to decompose a filter with a recursive transfer function into multiple polyphase component filters. The polyphase component filters may be applied to respective samples of data in a parallel pipelined configuration to produce filtered output for the samples of data in parallel.

Digital filter structure

A digital filter structure and related method of digital filtering are presented. The digital filter structure is arranged to receive one or more clocked input signals having a first clock rate, and which is driven at a second clock rate higher than said first clock rate. The digital filter structure has a plurality of delay elements and multiplexing circuitry arranged to selectively engage the delay elements such that, at every clock cycle of the digital filter structure, a filter operation is performed on a different stream of data. The disclosure can be applied in many different contexts. One particular implementation example is that of an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) system using sigma-delta infinite impulse response filters. In this context the present disclosure minimizes latency and hardware implementation area by requiring only one filtering circuit for multiple channels of data to be filtered.

FILTER ASSEMBLY, IN PARTICULAR FOR A CONTROL LOOP FOR CONTROLLING THE POSITION OF AT LEAST ONE ELEMENT

A filter assembly, for example for a control loop for controlling the position of at least one element, comprises first and second filters. The first filter suppresses an undesired component in a signal to be filtered. The first filter produces a first signal delay in a first frequency range. The second filter produces a second signal delay in the first frequency range. The second signal delay at least partly compensates the first signal delay.
