Abstract:
Techniques for performing frequency control in an OFDM system are described. In one aspect, frequency acquisition is performed based on a received pilot, and frequency tracking is performed based on received OFDM symbols. For frequency acquisition, an initial frequency error estimate may be derived based on the received pilot, and an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop may be initialized with the initial frequency error estimate. For frequency tracking, a frequency error estimate may be derived for each received OFDM symbol, and the AFC loop may be updated with the frequency error estimate. Frequency error in input samples is corrected by the AFC loop with the initial frequency error estimate as well as the frequency error estimate for each received OFDM symbol. In another aspect, a variable number of samples of a received OFDM symbol are selected, e.g., based on the received OFDM symbol timing, for use for frequency error estimation.
Abstract:
Dispositivo de comunicacion que incluye un conjunto de circuitos de control de ganancia automática (AGC). Se utiliza una estimacion de energía de la senal de salida de AGC en cada una de las n muestras de las senales de difusion para calcular y actualizar un valor de control de ganancia. En lugar de utilizar todas las n muestras que se producen subsiguientemente a una actualizacion de un valor de control de ganancia anterior se utiliza solamente un subconjunto de esas muestras. En particular, se puede descartar solo la primera mitad de las muestras en el cálculo de estimacion de energía, a la vez que solo se puede utilizar la segunda mitad de las n muestras.
Abstract:
Un método para sincronizar la temporizacion de un receptor de senal multiplexada por division ortogonal de la frecuencia (OFDM). Se ejecuta una primera adquisicion de la temporizacion con un primer piloto multiplexado por division de tiempo (TDM) recibido para determinar una estimacion de temporizacion aproximada de la senal OFDM recibida. Se ejecuta una segunda adquisicion de temporizacion con un segundo piloto TDM para determinar una estimacion de temporizacion precisa de un símbolo OFDM de la senal OFDM recibida. En la segunda adquisicion de temporizacion, la energía acumulada de la derivacion de canal en una ventana de deteccion es determinada y se detecta un borde de rastreo de la curva de energía acumulada. Una ubicacion de ventana de coleccion de la transformada de Fourier (FT) para símbolos subsiguientes de OFDM es ajustada para los símbolos en OFDM subsiguiente de acuerdo con la informacion del borde de rastreo.

Abstract:
A control of an amplifier in an automatic gain control (AGC) loop, e.g. in the RF front end circuitry of an OFDM receiver, provides phase adjustment control data to an associated automatic frequency control (AFC), to compensate for a phase jump that would otherwise be caused by switching of the AGC gain between discrete gain states. In the disclosed example, for each gain state, comparators detect a signal energy estimate crossing either a high threshold or a low threshold. Upon threshold crossing, multiplexers select compensation data corresponding to the necessary transition from the prior state to the new state determined by the comparators, based on identification of the prior state and on the particular threshold that has been crossed (high or low). The phase compensation data supplied to the AFC, for one interval corresponding to the timing of the gain switching, adjusts phase rotation implemented in the AFC.

Abstract:
Techniques for performing automatic gain control are described. In some aspects, the gain control is achieved with an apparatus having an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA), the DVGA configured to receive a digital signal from the ADC, the DVGA having a processor configured to compute a gain using a base n logarithm based on the power of the digital signal output from the ADC, the processor being further configured to apply the gain to the digital signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing automatic gain control (AGC) at a wireless receiver are described. The total gain for the wireless receiver is achieved with discrete gain steps for analog circuitry and continuous gain for a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA). An AGC loop is updated based on power measurements for an output signal from the DVGA. A first gain for the analog circuitry is selected from among multiple discrete gain values based on the AGC loop to maintain the average power of a baseband signal within a predetermined range at an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input. A second gain for the DVGA is selected based on the AGC loop to maintain the average power of the output signal at a reference power level. The first gain is switched in a manner to avoid saturation of the ADC caused by the baseband signal and to provide switching hysteresis. The AGC may be performed in log domain and with multiple modes.
