    Abstract: Noise variance estimation and interference detection is described. In one example, a method of estimating noise variance is described in which the pilots within a received OFDM signal are divided into bands and then a noise variance estimate is calculated on a per-band basis by averaging the noise estimates for those pilots within the band. In some examples, the pilots are divided into bands in frequency and in other examples, the pilots are divided into bands in frequency and time, such that noise estimates from more than one OFDM symbol are used in calculating the per-band noise variance estimates. The noise variance estimate for a pilot is then set to the noise variance estimate for the band which contains the pilot. The noise variance estimate for a data sub-carrier can then be determined by interpolating between the values for the pilots.

    Abstract: A method of detecting a transmission. The method includes: measuring, from a first portion of a received spread-spectrum signal, a first code-phase of a spreading-code; measuring, from a second portion of the signal, a second code-phase of the spreading-code; comparing the first and second code-phases; and detecting whether the transmission is present according to the result of the comparison. Also disclosed are corresponding methods and apparatus for transmission and reception of signals.

    Abstract: A mechanism for determining an error vector magnitude EVMTD for a signal transmitted by a device under test (DUT). A receiver (typically an RF signal analyzer) produces a baseband signal in response to the signal transmission. An OFDM input signal (derived from the baseband signal) is accessed from memory. The OFDM input signal includes a sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols. A reference signal is accessed from the memory. The reference signal includes a sequence of time-domain OFDM reference symbols. EVMTD is computed in the time domain based on a time-domain difference signal, i.e., a time-domain difference between the sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols and the sequence of time-domain OFDM reference symbols. The error vector magnitude EVMTD is determined without transforming the sequence of time-domain OFDM input symbols to the frequency domain. The error vector magnitude EVMTD is related to a standard-defined composite EVM by a scalar multiple.

    Abstract: In a numerical control system including a plurality of data communication apparatuses and a numerical controller that transmits and receives data to and from the data communication apparatuses, a filter circuit is removably attached to each of a connection unit of the numerical controller and connection units of the data communication apparatuses. By detecting an error information based on a data transfer error or the sign of the data transfer error, a filter circuit that needs to be replaced is specified. Thus, the noise immunity of only a required portion of the filter circuits is increased, as a result, it is possible to suppress the cost for noise reduction while increasing the noise immunity of the entire system.

    Abstract: Values representative of modulation signal components are extracted from a modulated signal. The modulated signal contains a modulation signal. A local clock signal is developed which correlates in time to the modulated signal and has a plurality of non-overlapping phase sectors per cycle. Signal values are acquired from the modulated signal, separately for at least one phase sector of one cycle of the local clock signal. At least two signal values from the same local clock cycle, but different phase sectors are combined to obtain at least one combined signal value representative of a modulation signal component.

    Abstract: A mechanism for blind estimation of parameters for correcting I/Q impairments. Complex samples of a complex baseband signal are received from a receiver. A cross-correlation is computed between an I component and a Q component of the complex samples. A mean square value is computed for the I component of the complex samples; and a mean square value is computed for the Q component of the complex samples. A cross-channel gain estimate is: computed based on the cross-correlation value and one or both of the mean square values; and used to apply a cross-channel gain correction to the complex samples. An estimate of an I/Q gain imbalance is computed based on the mean square values. The gain imbalance estimate is useable to correct an I/Q gain imbalance present in the complex samples. The parameters may be supplied to the receiver, enabling the receiver to apply online corrections.
