Abstract:
The intermediate frequency signals of OFDM signals received by a tuner (2) are multiplied by the carrier wave by multipliers (3 and 4) to generate OFDM signals of the base band. An FFT circuit (5) processes the OFDH signals of the base band and then supplies them to a pilot signal extraction circuit (8) and a division circuit (10) in an equalizer circuit (13). The pilot signals extracted by the pilot signal extraction circuit (8) are supplied to an interpolation filter (9). The amplitude and phase components of the interpolated pilot signals are supplied to the division circuit (10). The division circuit (l0) divides the signals input from the FFT circuit (5) by the amplitude and the phase received from the interpolation filter (9) and supplies the resulting signals to a demapping circuit (11). An FFT window circuit (6) detects the length of the guard interval from the outputs of the multipliers (3 and 4) and supplies it to a control circuit (21). In response to the received guard interval, the control circuit (21) controls the bandwidth of the interpolation filter (9) to restrict the deterioration of the equalization characteristic due to noise.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an OFDM demodulation device for demodulating an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal whose transmission unit is a transmission symbol produced by quadrature modulation in such a way that information is divided for a plurality of subcarriers in a predetermined band. The OFDM demodulation device includes a carrier frequency offset detecting circuit (20). The carrier frequency offset detecting circuit divides the subcarriers at the positions at which a TMCC signal, an AC signal, or a CP signal is inserted, defined in conformity with the standard when a specific offset amount is assumed, into a plurality of groups; maps the squares of phase rotation amounts with respect to an immediately-previous OFDM symbol on a complex plane; converts the squares to rotation vectors; cumulatively adds the rotation vectors to each other for each of the groups to thereby calculate the absolute values of the cumulative-addition-result values; and adds the absolute values of the cumulative-addition-result values calculated on a group-by-group basis to each other for all the groups to thereby calculate the addition-result absolute value, thereby defining the offset amount assumed when the maximum addition-result absolute value is obtained as the carrier frequency offset amount.

The dividing circuit (10) divides the signal input from the FFT circuit (5) by the amplitude and phase supplied from the interpolating filter (9) and a resultant signal is output to a demapping circuit (11). An FFT window circuit (6) detects the length of the guard interval from outputs of the multipliers (3) and (4) and outputs the detection signal to a control circuit (21). The control circuit (21) controls the band width of the interpolating filter (9) in accordance with the length of the input guard interval, thereby suppressing deterioration in the equalizing characteristics by noises.

Abstract:
A demodulation method and apparatus applicable to, for example digital broadcast signals modulated in accordance with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), is provided with a means for maintaining synchronization of carrier frequency correction control of the OFDM signals in a stable manner. A holding circuit (14) verifies whether or not a wide range fc/Common Phase Error (CPE) calculating circuit (10) is making an erroneous detection operation. The holding circuit performs the verification based on the information indicating the demodulation reliability, such as the result of a cumulative addition of Carrier Phase (CP) values, supplied from the wide range fc error/CPE calculating circuit (10), or the transmission control signal detection information, supplied from the transmission control information demodulating communication (17). If the wide range fc error CPE calculating circuit (10) is making an erroneous detection operation, the holding circuit (14) outputs the wide range fc error output in the previous symbol, without updating the information on the wide range fc error.
