Abstract

Abstract The field of the invention is that of data processing modules placed in a receiver of a data transmission or emission network, and charged with the equalizing and time-pulse recovery of the received data, in order to furnish to the next elements of the chain of the receiver a clear signal with a clean and resynchronized clock phase. The objective is to provide a device extending the limits of restoring the service in the case of strong disturbances of the channel. According to the invention, the device comprises in particular a timepulse recovery circuit (42) arranged in retroactive relooping at the output of the digital equalizer (56) in order to control the said ADC (41) feeding the equalizer, means to stabilize the calculation of filtering coefficients, comprising means to control the interruption of the calculation of new filtering coefficients, according to a criterion of crossing of a threshold of satisfactory equalizing, and means (57) to control the resetting of the filtering coefficients, according to a criterion of crossing of a threshold of maximum operating deviation of the filtering module.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 213 words
A device particularly designed for use in a receiver of a received signal including data, the device comprising: analog/digital converter means having an input and an output for digitizing the received signal; a digital equalizer having an output, said equalizer being coupled to the output of said analog/digital converter means; and a time-pulse recovery circuit coupled to the output of said digital equalizer for synchronizing said analog/digital converter means, wherein the digital equalizer comprises: digital filter means for filtering the digitized received signal; coefficient calculation means coupled to said digital filter means for calculating filtering coefficients from representative data of the received signal, said coefficients being adapted to control said digital filter; means coupled to said analog/digital converter means for providing said data representative of the received signal to said coefficient calculation means including: extractor means for extracting at least one digital burst sampled from the received signal; storing means coupled to the extractor means for storing said digital burst; means for supplying a signal consisting of said stored digital burst repeated at least two times to the coefficient calculation means; and means for controlling the storing of a new burst of data in the means for storing after calculation of filtering coefficients from the supplying of the repeated digital burst of data.
