Please with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the sketch map according to an embodiment of digit receiver 100 of the present invention.In this embodiment, digit receiver 100 can be a DTV receiver, but this should not be regarded as the restriction of the scope of the invention.Digit receiver 100 includes (but being not limited to) analog front circuit 110, an automatic gain controller 120, a compensating circuit 130 and a demodulator 140.Analog front circuit 110 receives an input signal SIN, according in the suitable scope of the mean amplitude of tide to of control signal SC adjustment input signal SIN and change this adjusted input signal to produce a digital signal S1.Automatic gain controller 120 is coupled to analog front circuit 110, in order to produce control signal SC to feed back to analog front circuit 110 according to digital signal S1.Compensating circuit 130 is coupled to analog front circuit 110, produces a compensated digital signal S2 in order to a detection and compensation mechanism to be provided with the mean amplitude of tide of compensated digital signal S1.Demodulator 140 is coupled to compensating circuit 130 and produces an output signal SOUT with demodulation compensated digital signal S2.
In this embodiment, compensating circuit 130 includes a compensator 150, a detector 160 and a gain controller 170.The mean amplitude of tide that detector 160 detects digital signal S1 is to produce a testing result DR.170 of gain controllers are coupled to compensator 150 and detector 160, give compensator 150 in order to produce a compensating control signal Sd according to testing result DR.Compensator 150 receiving digital signals S1 and the mean amplitude of tide that comes compensated digital signal S1 according to compensating control signal Sd are to produce compensated digital signal S2.At last, compensated digital signal S2 is input to demodulator 140 and exports signal SOUT by demodulator 140 demodulation to produce.Note that compensating circuit 130 is that mode with digital circuit realizes at this, but scope of the present invention is not limited to this.
Usually, the mean amplitude of tide S 1 of digital signal S1 can be by feedback to adjust to the mean amplitude of tide of input signal SIN within one proper range through automatic gain controller 120.For instance, if do not pass through the adjustment of automatic gain controller 120, then the digital signal S1 that exported of analog front circuit 110 may violent variation between the signal of weak the last one; Yet; Automatic gain controller 120 only has the frequency range (about 1 hertz) and the speed of tracking signal that are rather narrow very slow; If the mean amplitude of tide of input signal SIN changes fast greatly; Automatic gain controller 120 can become and can't in time react, and amplitude variations tends to cause back-end circuit (for example: demodulator 140) have problems improperly.So; The present invention added compensating circuit 130 before demodulator 140; Because the compensating circuit 130 that is added is designed to bigger frequency range and can comes tracking signal with very fast speed, so compensating circuit 130 can continue to detect the mean amplitude of tide of digital signal S1 and in time digital signal S1 is compensated.
