摘要： A measurement receiver demodulator has a first processing channel for producing a filtered signal sample output where the signal samples are processed through a transmission system receiver filter and a second processing channel producing an unfiltered signal sample output where the signal samples are not processed through the transmission system receiver filter. The first processing channel down converts digitally modulated IF signal samples and filters the down converted signal samples using a combined transmission system receiver filter and front end hardware compensation filter. A synchronizer produces timing phase and rate offset parameters that are applied to a resampling filter to synchronize the filtered signal samples to symbol instances of the symbol modulation. The filtered, time-aligned signal samples are scaled using a derived scaling factor. A pilot offset level, if present, is estimated and removed. The resultant signal samples are processed through an equalizer to produce filtered, time-aligned, scaled equalized signal samples that are output as filtered signal samples. The second processing channel receives the down converted signal samples and uses compensation and equalization filter coefficients, timing parameters, and the scaling from the first processing channel in compensation, resampling and equalization filters and a scaler to produce compensated, time-aligned, scaled equalized signal samples that are output as unfiltered signal samples.

摘要： A method of estimating pilot signal phase embedded in a wideband digital signal modulating a RF signal that is down converted to an intermediate frequency and digitized includes the steps of summing a block of the signal samples for removing the modulation data and generating data values representative of vector locations of the pilot signal with each data value representing an angular rotation of the pilot signal vector, and calculating the phase of the pilot signal by determining the arc tangent of the data values. The method produces a computationally efficient narrow band filter generated at the pilot signal frequency by simple addition of the digital data values. The method is usable in a software based 8-VSB digital television demodulation system.

摘要： Reference frequency spur cancellation in a synthesized measurement receiver is achieved by determining for any given frequency to which the receiver is tuned a list of integer multipliers of the reference frequency that produce spurious signals in the receiver's passband. For those values the amplitude and phase for each spurious signal is determined in the digital domain and subtracted from the digital signal from the receiver. The reference frequency is then offset slightly and the measurement repeated. The maximum values between each measurement are combined to produce a measurement for the input signal without spurious signals.

摘要： A method of estimating symbol timing phase and rate offsets of a sampled digitally modulated signal having repetitive symbol sync sequences includes the steps of estimating symbol sync sequence locations in a block of signal samples using a cross-correlation with a reference pattern of ideal symbol sync sequences. Signal samples within subranges defining the symbol sync sequences in the block of signal samples are filtered for removing intersymbol interference. An iterative process of cross-correlation of the filtered signal samples within the subranges using the reference pattern of ideal symbol sync sequences and an ideal symbol sync correction pattern generates timing phase and rate offset values that are used to derive filter coefficients for resampling the filtered signal samples within the subranges using an interpolating filter. The rate offset value is derived using a linear model and performing an optimal estimation. The iterative cross-correlation and resampling process continues until the rate of change of timing phase and rate offset values are minimized. The timing phase and rate offset values are provided to a resampling FIR filter for generating properly synchronized signal samples that are time aligned to symbol-spaced boundaries.

摘要： A system for in-service nonlinearity measurements measures such nonlinearities by way of comparing received linear error-corrected unfiltered signal samples with re-generated reference signal samples to calculate magnitude and phase nonlinear error values. Linear distortion is removed from the received signal samples in order to truly characterize nonlinear behavior of the transmitter. The linear error-corrected received signal samples are generated without applying the receiver shaping filtering. Reference signal samples are re-generated from estimated transmitted symbols from the unfiltered linear error-corrected received signal samples. The transmitted symbols are estimated using a multi-region slicer which dynamically estimates constellation decision levels from the unfiltered signal samples. A weighted, least-square based polynomial regression is performed on magnitude and phase nonlinear error values to estimate magnitude and phase nonlinear error functions while suppressing the impact of other non-systematic distortions.

摘要： An improved calibration method for a vector network analyzer stores sparse calibration data, interpolates system error data from the sparse calibration data for each measurement by the vector network analyzer, and creates calibrated measurement data from the system error data and uncorrected measurement data at each measurement frequency. The sparse calibration data may be generated by measuring every Nth frequency step over a calibration frequency range greater than a specified measurement frequency range, or by measuring every frequency step over the calibration frequency range and compressing the resulting measurement data. The interpolation may be achieved by using a curve-fit algorithm, such as a parametric polynomial curve fitting algorithm.

摘要： A method of interference cancellation in antenna test measurements is achieved by acquiring an acquisition at a test port of an antenna test instrument in response to an internal signal source, stamping the data acquisition time, and measuring a signal vector that has both a reflection signal component and an interference signal component. Another acquisition at the test port without the internal signal source is obtained with limited data points to detect whether there are interference signals. If there is significant interference power, a complete acquisition is obtained without the internal signal source, the data acquisition time is stamped, and an interference vector that has only the interference signal is measured. Then the interference frequency is measured, an interference phase shift between the two data acquisitions is calculated, an interference vector for the combined reflection/interference vector is predicted using the interference vector and the phase shift, and the predicted interference vector is subtracted from the signal vector to obtain the actual reflection signal for the antenna in the absence of interference.

摘要： A method of broadband receiver amplitude/phase normalization uses internal normalization sources—a thermally compensated noise source and a pseudo random sequence generator. A calibrated signal is applied to the input of the broadband receiver and processed by a digital signal processor to generate a gain versus frequency table. Then the internal noise source is applied to the input of the broadband receiver and process by a digital signal processor to generate a noise level versus frequency table. Finally the internal pseudo random sequence generator applies a pseudo random sequence waveform to the input of the broadband receiver, the pseudo random sequence waveform being process by the digital signal processor to generate equalization filter coefficients for the IF stages.
