Because the device for detecting synchronous signal uses the GPS time to confirm the position of the synchronous signal arranged in the frame and the frame structure of the OFDM signal transmitted from the sending end, and further detect the synchronous signal, so the synchronous signal detecting device has the advantages of simplifying the implementation of the hardware for detecting the synchronous signals, and obviating the need for the process of calculating the correlation.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of receiver that is used to receive OFDM (OFDM) carrier signal.Relate in particular to a kind of being used for by using global positioning system (GPS) to come to detect the method and apparatus of synchronizing signal from the OFDM carrier signal.
Background technology
OFDM (OFDM) scheme is a kind of digital modulation system that is proposed the transmission rate that improves each bandwidth and prevents the multipath interference.According to the OFDM scheme, whole bandwidth is divided into a plurality of arrowbands orthogonal sub-channels, and modulates each subchannel by QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) and transmit data.Because ofdm system becomes data a plurality of parallel datas and this data-modulated is arrived a plurality of each subcarriers, and transmit this data, so ofdm system can improve the volume of transmitted data of each chronomere, and receiving terminal is subjected to the influence of the transmission delay that caused by multipath little.
In ofdm system, the data owner that transfers out will comprise synchronizing signal and OFDM data.Synchronizing signal is commonly referred to as pseudo noise (PN) sequence.Receiving terminal have with from the identical PN sequence of the PN sequence of transmitting terminal, and for PN sequence synchronously and relatively.
Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of frame structure that is transferred to the ofdm signal of receiving terminal from transmitting terminal.
Ofdm signal comprises pseudo noise (PN) sequence, the OFDM data of using as synchronizing signal (DFT3780) and the protection that is used for preventing inserting between PN sequence and OFDM data (DFT3780) in the interference of OFDM data (DFT3780) (GI) at interval.OFDM receiver (not having to show) detects the PN sequence from the ofdm signal in that receives, and carries out Frequency Synchronization, symbol synchronization and channel equalization based on detected PN sequence.Therefore, has the reference PN sequence that the signal mode identical with the pattern of the synchronizing signal of the ofdm signal that receives arranged according to the receiving terminal of conventional art, calculating is with reference to the correlation between PN sequence and the ofdm signal, and in the peaked position probing synchronizing signal that has in correlation.Because the order of the synchronizing signal of ofdm signal changes according to predetermined rule, so during the signal that is complementary with the reference PN sequence of receiving terminal on being created in pattern, receiving terminal can detect synchronizing signal.Therefore, if the ofdm signal that transmits from transmitting terminal is a broadcast singal, then up to energising back preset time, digital broadcasting transmitter can receiving broadcast signal.
Fig. 2 is the conceptual block diagram that is used to detect the conventional apparatus of synchronizing signal.
The conventional apparatus that is used to detect synchronizing signal comprises: correlation calculator 10, comparing unit 20, counter 30 and sync generator 40.
That correlation calculator 10 comprises is a plurality of, and (10a~10n) its each has the correlator that put to start with the position of different ofdm signal in.The part that correlation calculator 10 is divided into predetermined number with ofdm signal in detects the position of the synchronizing signal that comprises as quickly as possible in ofdm signal in, and calculates respectively from a plurality of correlators (each correlation of 10a~10n) at different initial points.
Comparing unit 20 is when (when producing maximum in the correlation of 10a~10n), producing update signal (w_en) from each correlator.Counter 30 is counted predetermined times according to the cycle identical with code-element period.For example, if transmitting terminal is that unit sends digital broadcast signal based on the 5us cycle with 3780 code elements, then in the 5us interval, 3780 code elements have been counted.
In response to the update signal (w_en) that in comparing unit 20, produces, maximum value detector 40 is stored in the value that counts out in the counter 30, and, produce synchronous detection signal (sync) when the identical number of times of value after per the 3780th code element should counting during greater than predetermined number.For example,, and during second counting, produce maximum once more, then produce synchronous detection signal (sync) in the 1200th position in the 1200th code element if during the counting of counter 30, produce maximum in the 1200th code element.Maximum value detector 40 is from producing synchronous detection signal (sync) corresponding to the count value that produces peaked position with the specific cycle.Because the device that is used for detecting the synchronizing signal with said structure can not detect the position of the synchronizing signal of ofdm signal in, so when being realized by single correlator, it needs a large amount of time to detect synchronizing signal.In order to solve this shortcoming, the conventional apparatus that is used to detect synchronizing signal improves the detection speed of synchronizing signal with the part that ofdm signal in is divided into predetermined number, and has a plurality of correlators (10a~10n) come to calculate correlation from the initial point of various piece.Yet more than the parts of Yao Qiuing have caused being used for the increase of product cost of the receiver of ofdm signal in, and each correlator (10a~10n) should calculate ofdm signal in and continuously with reference to the correlation between the PN sequence (R_PN sequence).In addition, (10a~10n) should equip adder and multiplier is because be provided with the correlator of a plurality of numbers, so the realization of hardware is complicated in correlation detector 10 owing to each correlator.
