20080272813Analog To Digital Converter Clock Synchronizer - The present application generally relates to apparatuses such as television signal processing apparatus that process radio frequency signals. More specifically, the present application is particularly useful in integrated circuits that must receive a radio frequency signal and simultaneously use circuitry where the timing of the operations are based on the received RF signal and circuitry where the timing is based on a fixed rate signal with sensitivity to clock jitter. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus comprises, a first input (RefClk), a second input (PllClk), an output (CLK 11-06-2008
20100020235Co-channel interference remover - A receiver (a) translates a frequency spectrum of a received wideband signal such that a narrowband region of the wideband signal is applied to a filter for use in removing narrowband interference; and (b) tracks the narrowband interference by adjusting the frequency translation as a function of signal levels in narrowband regions adjacent to the narrowband interference region.01-28-2010
20100029235Co-channel interference detector - A receiver searches for and identifies the locations of narrowband interference by sweeping across a wideband frequency channel to measure power levels of at least three narrowband frequency regions and determines if at least one interfering signal is present as a function of the measured power levels.02-04-2010
20100289965EQUALIZER BASED SYMBOL TIMING RECOVERY WITH SYMBOL ENABLED CONTROL - A receiver is an ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)-receiver and comprises a controller and an equalizer, which comprises a feed-forward filter and a feed-back filter. The feed-forward filter comprising at least one tap associated with at least one tap coefficient value. The controller determines a location of at least one tap of the equalizer; and if that location is close to a tap boundary (or edge) of the equalizer, the at least one tap of the equalizer is shifted forward or backward by at least one sample position.11-18-2010
20110069747METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING CHANNELS IN A SIGNAL - The determination and identification of channels in a signal is an important aspect of the operation of a signal receiver. A method (03-24-2011
20110074500APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF SIGNAL FORMAT - The determination of the signal modulation format for a channel is an important aspect of the operation of a signal receiver. A method (03-31-2011

20090262795Adaptive equalizer tap stepsize - An apparatus comprises an adaptive filter having groups of taps, each group comprising at least one tap having an associated tap value; and a controller for selecting a scaling factor for at least one group of taps as a function of tap values of the group. The controller further adjusts an error value as a function of the selected scaling factor. The adaptive filter adapts tap values of the at least one group of taps as a function of the adjusted error value.10-22-2009
20090285274EQUALIZER LOCK DETECTION BASED ON THE LOCATION OF RECEIVED SIGNAL POINTS - An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee-Digital Television) receiver comprises an equalizer and a lock detector. The equalizer provides a sequence of received signal points from a constellation space, the constellation space having an inner region and one, or more, outer regions. The lock detector determines equalizer lock as a function of the number of received signal points falling in the one, or more, outer regions.11-19-2009
