Embodiment
Be the reversing spectrum judgment means 100 shown in Fig. 1 according to one embodiment of the invention, wherein comprise differential correlator (differentialcorrelator) 12 and judge module 14.In actual applications, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 can be incorporated in the digital television signal receiving terminal that adopts the DVB-S2 standard, but not as limit.
According to the DVB-S2 standard, the beginning of Frame zone (startofframe, referred to as SOF) comprises 26 symbols (symbol) S altogether
0~ S
25, S wherein
0, S
2, S
4..., S
24deng 13 symbols, homophase (in-phase) composition separately is identical and positive and negative identical with quadrature (quadrature) composition size; Moreover, S

25deng symbol, there will be in the second quadrant or fourth quadrant.
Based on above-mentioned symbol characteristic, even the situation of reversing spectrum, the symbol S after reversion occur

5..., S
25can be subject to the impact of reversing spectrum and change its quadrant.More particularly, while reversing originally the symbol at the second quadrant after reversion, not there will be in fourth quadrant, and while not reversing originally the symbol in fourth quadrant after reversion, there will be at the second quadrant.In other words, if there is the situation of reversing spectrum, the symbol S in the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame

The standard content of the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame is known to receiving terminal.Therefore, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 can be set a known signal S as reference frame, the standard content s of the initiation region that it comprises the DVB-S2 Frame
0~ s
25.Below at first explanation supposes that reversing spectrum judgment means 100 confirmed that an input signal R is for the initiation region of certain DVB-S2 Frame, but still whether uncertain input signal R exists the reversing spectrum situation.
If there is not the reversing spectrum situation in input signal R, i symbol r wherein
iwith i symbol s in known signal S
ipass be:
R
i=s
ie
j2 π f (iT)for i=0,1,2,3 ..., (N-1), (formula one)
T represents the Cycle Length of these symbols, f represent when input signal R enters differential correlator 12 with carrier frequency shift (carrierfrequencyoffset, referred to as CFO), N represents input signal R and each self-contained symbol quantity of known signal S (in this example, equaling 26).
After receiving input signal R, 12 couples of input signal R of differential correlator and known signal S carry out the differential related operation of at least one odd number order.In the present embodiment, the following equation signifier is a step differential related operation, and differential correlator 12 can produce differential correlated results d1:
(formula two)
According to formula one, formula two can be as follows by abbreviation:
(formula three)
By formula three, can be found out, when there is not the reversing spectrum situation in input signal R, differential correlated results d
1phase place Arg (d
1) be (2 π fT); If carrier frequency shift f levels off to zero, Arg (d
1) also level off to zero.On practice, after reversing spectrum judgment means 100 can be arranged at an offset correction of carrier frequency device, carrier frequency shift f is dwindled as far as possible.
Relatively, if there is the reversing spectrum situation in input signal R, i symbol r wherein
iwith i symbol s in known signal S
ipass be:
(formula four)
If can obtain according to formula four rewriting formulas two:
(formula five)
By formula five, can be found out, when there is the reversing spectrum situation in input signal, differential correlated results d
1phase place Arg (d
1) be (2 π fT+ π); If carrier frequency shift f levels off to zero, Arg (d
1) level off to π.
As shown in Figure 1, a phase detecting circuit 14A can be set in judge module 14, in order to judge differential correlated results d
1phase place Arg (d
1).Subsequently, judge module 14 can be according to Arg (d
1) judge whether input signal R exists the reversing spectrum situation.For example, can to set threshold value be pi/2 to judge module 14; If the Arg (d corresponding to an input signal
1) being less than pi/2, judge module 14 judges that there is not the reversing spectrum situation in this input signal.Relatively, if the Arg (d of an input signal
1) being greater than pi/2, judge module 14 just notifies subsequent conditioning circuit in-phase signal and orthogonal signalling must be exchanged.
The method that may there is no when in actual applications, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 is received an input signal determines whether this input signal is the initiation region of certain DVB-S2 Frame.In theory, if an input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame really, the degree of correlation between this input signal and aforementioned known signal must be not low, makes differential correlated results d
1absolute value must surpass certain threshold value.Relatively, if an input signal is not the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame, its differential correlated results d
1absolute value can be less than this threshold value.Therefore, the differential correlated results d that differential correlator 12 produces
1also can be as judging whether an input signal is the foundation of the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
In sum, for an input signal, judge module 14 at first can be according to its differential correlated results d
1absolute value | d
m1| judge whether this input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.If this judgment result is that, be that judge module 14 is just further according to differential correlated results d
1phase place Arg (d
1) judge whether this input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.
Should be noted that, the performed computing of differential correlator 12 is not limited to an above-mentioned step differential related operation.One input signal R and known signal S are imposed to the differential correlated results dm that m step differential related operation produces can be expressed as follows:
(formula six)
According to formula one, formula six can be as follows by abbreviation:
When m is even number, according to the result of formula four rewriting formula six gained, can obtain:
D
m=(| s

2| s

2+ | s

2+ ...+| s

When m is odd number, according to formula four rewriting formulas six, can obtain:
D
m=(| s

2+ ...+| s

2) e

j π, (formula eight)
By formula seven and formula eight, can be found out if m is even number, no matter whether have the reversing spectrum situation, differential correlated results d
mphase place Arg (d
m) be all [2 π f (mT)].If m is odd number, there do not is the corresponding Arg (d of input signal of reversing spectrum situation
m) be [2 π f (mT)], there is the corresponding Arg (d of input signal of reversing spectrum situation
m) be [2 π f (mT)+π].Easy speech, only have the differential related operation of odd number order, just can produce and can judge according to this whether input signal exists the differential correlated results of reversing spectrum situation.Therefore, differential correlator 12 is designed at least carry out an odd number order (single order, three rank, five rank ...) differential related operation.
On practice, the result that the inferior differential related operation of higher-order produces is relatively accurate.As shown in Figure 2, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 can further comprise a control module 16, in order to the channel environment passed through according to input signal, determines the order m that differential correlator 12 should adopt.Channel environment is poorer, and control module 16 can be selected the order m of healing large, improves by this accuracy.In one embodiment, for good channel environment, even control module 16 order m are 1; For severe channel environment, even control module 16 order m are 3.
In another embodiment, differential correlator 12 is designed to simultaneously or successively carries out the differential related operation of at least two different odd-order time (m1, m2):
And
Accordingly, judge module 14 can be designed to simultaneously with reference to the first differential correlated results d
m1phase place Arg (d
m1) and the second differential correlated results d
m2phase place Arg (d
m2) judge whether input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.For example, judge module 14 can be according to Arg (d
m1) * w1+Arg (d
m2) whether * w2 judge higher than a threshold value whether input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation, w1, the w2 proportion parameter for predetermining wherein.In addition, judge module 14 also can be according to the first differential correlated results d
m1absolute value | d
m1| with the second differential correlated results d
m2absolute value | d
m2|, (for example | d
m1| with | d
m2| summation), judge whether input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
In another embodiment, differential correlator 12 can be designed to optionally produce the second differential correlated results d
m2.For example, the control module in Fig. 2 16 can determine whether to need to produce the second differential correlated results d according to channel environment
m2.If it is severe that the determination result of control module 16 is current channel environment, differential correlator 12 just additionally produces the second differential correlated results d
m2, otherwise only produce the first differential correlated results d
m1.
In another embodiment, differential correlator 12 is designed to simultaneously or successively carries out the differential related operation of an odd number order (m1) and an even number order (m3):
And
Take m1 as 1, m3 is as 2 being example, when there is not the reversing spectrum situation in input signal, differential correlated results d
1phase place Arg (d1) equal (2 π fT), differential correlated results d
2phase place Arg (d
2) equal (4 π fT); Phase difference [Arg (d
1)-Arg (d
2)] be (2 π fT).Relatively, when there is the reversing spectrum situation in input signal, the phase place Arg (d of differential correlated results d1
1) equal (2 π fT+ π), the phase place Arg (d of differential correlated results d2
2) equal (4 π fT); Phase difference [Arg (d
1)-Arg (d
2)] be (2 π fT+ π).Based on above-mentioned phase difference characteristic, because carrier frequency shift f levels off to zero, judge module 14 also can be according to the first differential correlated results d
m1with the 3rd differential correlated results d
m3phase difference [Arg (d
m1)-Arg (d
m3)] find out whether input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.
On the other hand, even differential correlated results d
m3phase place Arg (d
m3) can't be separately as judging whether input signal exists the foundation of reversing spectrum situation, differential correlated results d
m3absolute value | d
m3| still have a reference value.For example, judge module 14 can be according to the first differential correlated results d
m1absolute value | d
m1| with the 3rd differential correlated results d
m3absolute value | d
m3|, (for example | d
m1| with | d
m3| summation), judge whether input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
On practice, differential correlator 12 also can be designed to carry out a plurality of odd number orders and the differential related operation of a plurality of even number orders.For example, differential correlator 12 can be carried out four kinds of differential related operations such as single order, second order, three rank, quadravalence simultaneously for an input signal.Under these circumstances, judge module 14 can be according to the absolute value summation of four operation results, judge whether this input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame, and only according to the phase place of the result of single order and three step differential related operations, judge whether this input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.
Should be noted that, 100 treatable input signals of reversing spectrum judgment means are not limited with the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame; So long as there is the signal (s of same nature
2jsame phase constituent and orthogonal component size identical and positive and negative identical, s
2j+1same phase constituent and orthogonal component size identical and positive and negative contrary) all be applicable to aforementioned determining program.
For example, provide to the input signal of reversing spectrum judgment means 100 and also can further comprise the physical layer signal code (physicallayersignalingcode followed behind the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame, referred to as PLSC), or only comprise the part section of the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
Table content in Fig. 3 (A) and Fig. 3 (B) is than (signaltonoiseratio for the unlike signal noise, referred to as SNR) the analog result that produces of the white gaussian noise of additivity (additivewhiteGaussiannoise, referred to as AWGN) passage.SR conventional letter rate (symbolrate).
By these two forms, can be found out, when there is not the reversing spectrum situation in input signal, the phase place of the differential correlated results of single order ~ quadravalence is all quite little.When there is the reversing spectrum situation in input signal, the phase place of single order and three step differential correlated results all quite approaches π.Known according to these analog results, really can effectively judge according to reversing spectrum judgment means 100 of the present invention whether input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.
Be the reversing spectrum determination methods according to another embodiment of the present invention, its flow chart as shown in Figure 4.At first, step S41 is for to impose following m1 step differential related operation (m1 is odd number) to an input signal and a known signal, to produce the first differential correlated results d
m1:
Step S42 is judged as the echo signal corresponding to this known signal when this input signal, according to this first differential correlated results d
m1phase place judge whether this input signal exists a reversing spectrum situation.
Previous several circuit operation flow change of describing when introducing reversing spectrum judgment means 100, (for example before step S42, first judge whether this input signal is echo signal, carry out two different odd-order time differential related operation, carry out the differential related operation of an odd number order and an even number order ...), also can be applied in the reversing spectrum determination methods that Fig. 4 illustrates, its details repeats no more.
As mentioned above, the present invention proposes a kind of reversing spectrum judgment means and reversing spectrum determination methods, input signal is imposed to the differential related operation of odd number order, and judges according to the phase place of operation result whether this input signal exists the reversing spectrum situation.Can not only be applied among the digital television signal receiving terminal of DVB-S2 standard according to reversing spectrum judgment means of the present invention and reversing spectrum determination methods, also can be extended to signal and have the other system of similar characteristic.
By the above detailed description of preferred embodiments, hope can be known description feature of the present invention and spirit more, and not with the above-mentioned preferred embodiment disclosed, category of the present invention is limited.On the contrary, its objective is that hope can contain in the category of the scope of the claims of being arranged in of various changes and tool equality institute of the present invention wish application.
