Fig. 5 is the block diagram representing according to the channel estimating apparatus of the digital broadcasting signal receiver of the embodiment of the present invention.Receiver reception in Fig. 5 the digital broadcast signal of processing single-carrier signal or multi-carrier signal form, wherein, inserted the multiple continuous synchronization signals as shown in Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 D in single-carrier signal or digital broadcast signal.With reference to figure 5, comprise according to the channel estimating apparatus of the digital broadcasting signal receiver of the present embodiment: correlation unit 200, delay cell 203, wave-peak detection unit 205, windows units 210, threshold cell 220, channel estimating unit 230.Correlation unit 200 receives TDS-OFDM signal, relatively inserts the synchronizing signal of digital broadcast signal and the reference signal identical with the synchronizing signal of inserting, to calculate their correlation.Result of calculation is can occur crest corresponding to each synchronizing signal.Delay cell 203 postpones a synchronizing signal length the crest receiving from correlation unit and sends.In a word, because crest occurs corresponding to continuous synchronizing signal, it is identical with the length of synchronizing signal that the interval between crest becomes, and therefore, if the length of the position delayed sync signal of crest, crest and crest subsequently can be fallen same position.Wave-peak detection unit 205 detects last crest the crest receiving from correlation unit 200.Windows units 210 is calculated the mean value with the correlation of the delay that receives from delay cell 203 from each correlation of correlation unit 200 selective receptions, then selects the interval of the position that wave-peak detection unit 205 detects.In addition, corresponding to from correlation unit 200 selective receptions to correlation, windows units 210 is selected the interval of the position being detected by wave-peak detection unit 205.In the correlation at the interval of having selected, threshold cell 220 is removed the value lower than predetermined threshold.Channel estimating unit 230 receives correlation from threshold cell 220, for channel estimating.
Fig. 6 is the operational flowchart representing according to the channel estimating unit in Fig. 5 of first embodiment of the invention.Correlation unit 200 receiving digital broadcast signals, relatively this digital broadcast signal and reference signal, and calculating correlation (S300), Figure 10 A is the schematic diagram that represents the correlation calculating in the time receiving the digital broadcast signal that wherein inserts two continuous synchronization signals.The noise similar with prior art occurs in crest 700 and 710 outside both, but between crest 700 and 710, obtains a steady state value.Table 2 has been listed the steady state value in the second interval.
Table 2
Synchronizing information length (code element number) Steady state value (the amplitude order of magnitude) [decibel]
63 -35.9868
255 -48.1308
511 -54.1684
As shown in table 2, by inserting continuously two segment sync information, only use the synchronizing information of 63 code elements, even also can be detected lower than the multipath channel of-35 decibels.
