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 of employing DVB-S2 specification, but not as limit.
According to DVB-S2 specification, the beginning region (startofframe, referred to as SOF) of Frame comprises 26 symbol (symbol) S altogether

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

2| s

2+ | s
m+1|
2| s

2+ ...+| s

2) e

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

2| s

2+ | s

2| s

2) e

Can be found out, if m is even number, no matter whether to there is reversing spectrum situation, differential motion relevant result d by formula seven and formula eight
mphase place Arg (d
m) be all [-2 π f (mT)].If m is odd number, there is not the Arg (d corresponding to input signal of reversing spectrum situation
m) be [-2 π f (mT)], there is the Arg (d corresponding to input signal of reversing spectrum situation
m) be then [-2 π f (mT)+π].Easy speech it, only have the differential related operation of odd number order, just can produce and can judge whether input signal exists the differential motion relevant result of reversing spectrum situation according to this.Therefore, differential correlator 12 is designed at least perform an odd number order (single order, three rank, five rank ...) differential related operation.
In practice, the result that the differential related operation of higher-order time produces is relatively accurate.As shown in Figure 2, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 can comprise a control module 16 further, and the channel environment in order to pass through according to input signal determines the order m that differential correlator 12 should adopt.Channel environment is poorer, and control module 16 can select larger order m, improves accuracy by this.In one embodiment, for good channel environment, even control module 16 order m is 1; For severe channel environment, even control module 16 order m is 3.
In another embodiment, differential correlator 12 is designed to simultaneously or successively performs 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 motion relevant result d
m1phase place Arg (d
m1) and the second differential motion relevant result d
m2phase place Arg (d
m2) judge whether input signal exists reversing spectrum situation.For example, judge module 14 can according to Arg (d
m1) * w1+Arg (d
m2) higher than a threshold value, whether * w2 judge whether input signal exists reversing spectrum situation, wherein w1, w2 are the proportion parameter that can predetermine.In addition, judge module 14 also can according to the first differential motion relevant result d
m1absolute value | d
m1| with the second differential motion relevant result d
m2absolute value | d
m2|, (such as | d
m1| with | d
m2| summation), judge that 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 motion relevant result d
m2.For example, the control module 16 in Fig. 2 can determine whether need generation second differential motion relevant result 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 motion relevant result d
m2, otherwise only produce the first differential motion relevant result d
m1.
In another embodiment, differential correlator 12 is designed to simultaneously or successively performs the differential related operation of an odd number order (m1) and an even number order (m3):
And
For m1 be 1, m3 for 2, when input signal does not exist reversing spectrum situation, differential motion relevant result d
1phase place Arg (d1) equal (-2 π fT), differential motion relevant result d
2phase place Arg (d
2) equal (-4 π fT); Phase difference [Arg (d
1)-Arg (d
2)] be (2 π fT).Relatively, when input signal exists reversing spectrum situation, the phase place Arg (d of differential motion relevant result d1
1) equal (-2 π fT+ π), the phase place Arg (d of differential motion relevant result 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 according to the first differential motion relevant result d
m1with the 3rd differential motion relevant result d
m3phase difference [Arg (d
m1)-Arg (d
m3)] find out whether input signal exists reversing spectrum situation.
On the other hand, even if differential motion relevant result d
m3phase place Arg (d
m3) cannot separately as judging whether input signal exists the foundation of reversing spectrum situation, differential motion relevant result d
m3absolute value | d
m3| still have a reference value.For example, judge module 14 can according to the first differential motion relevant result d
m1absolute value | d
m1| with the 3rd differential motion relevant result d
m3absolute value | d
m3|, (such as | d
m1| with | d
m3| summation), judge that whether input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
In practice, differential correlator 12 also can be designed to perform multiple odd number order and the differential related operation of multiple even number orders.For example, differential correlator 12 can perform four kinds of differential related operations such as single order, second order, three rank, quadravalence for an input signal simultaneously.Under these circumstances, judge module 14 can according to the absolute value summation of four operation results, judge that whether this input signal is the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame, and only judge whether this input signal exists reversing spectrum situation according to the phase place of the result of single order and three step differential related operations.
Should be noted that, reversing spectrum judgment means 100 treatable input signal be not limited with the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame; As long as have the signal (s of same nature
2jsame phase constituent identical with orthogonal component size and positive and negative identical, s
2j+1same phase constituent identical with orthogonal component size and positive and negative contrary) be all applicable to aforementioned determining program.
For example, the input signal being provided to reversing spectrum judgment means 100 also can comprise the physical layer signal code (physicallayersignalingcode followed behind the initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame further, referred to as PLSC), or only comprise the partial sector of initiation region of DVB-S2 Frame.
Table content in Fig. 3 (A) and Fig. 3 (B) is for unlike signal noise ratio (signaltonoiseratio, referred to as SNR) additive white Gaussian noise (additivewhiteGaussiannoise, referred to as AWGN) passage produce analog result.SR conventional letter rate (symbolrate).
Can be found out by these two forms, when input signal does not exist reversing spectrum situation, the phase place of single order ~ quadravalence differential motion relevant result is all quite little.When input signal exists reversing spectrum situation, the phase place of single order and three step differential correlated results is all quite close to π.According to these analog results, really effectively can judge whether input signal exists reversing spectrum situation according to reversing spectrum judgment means 100 of the present invention.
Be reversing spectrum determination methods according to another embodiment of the present invention, its flow chart as shown in Figure 4.First, step S41 for impose following m1 step differential related operation (m1 is odd number) to an input signal and a known signal, to produce the first differential motion relevant result d
m1:
Step S42 is then when this input signal is judged as an echo signal corresponding to this known signal, according to this first differential motion relevant result d
m1phase place judge whether this input signal exists a reversing spectrum situation.
Several circuit operation flow change previously described when introducing reversing spectrum judgment means 100, (the differential related operation such as first judged before step S42 whether this input signal is echo signal, carrying out the secondary differential related operation of two different odd-order, carry out 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 whether this input signal exists reversing spectrum situation according to the phase place of operation result.Among the digital television signal receiving terminal that can not only be applied in DVB-S2 specification according to reversing spectrum judgment means of the present invention and reversing spectrum determination methods, also can be extended to signal and had the other system of similar characteristic.
By the above detailed description of preferred embodiments, it is desirable to clearly to describe feature of the present invention and spirit, and not with above-mentioned disclosed preferred embodiment, category of the present invention is limited.On the contrary, its objective is wish to contain various change and tool equality be arranged in the present invention institute in the category of the scope of the claims applied for.
