Description of the invention (/) The present invention relates to a device and method for compensating signal attenuation, and in particular, to a kind of equalizer-based compensation signal. Subtraction device and method. At present, the methods of transmitting signals can be roughly divided into cable channel transmission and wireless channel (air channel) transmission. However, no matter which channel is used for transmission, in the process of transmitting continuous signals (such as analog signals), they will be subject to interference from adjacent symbols (hereinafter referred to as ISI). ISI is the signal of continuous signals in the process of transmission. They will interfere with each other (for example, the signal that is originally 0 may become a signal that is 1). In severe cases, it may even interfere with dozens of signals before and after. This interference has a particularly large impact on the attenuation of the compensation signal. . Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a block diagram of a conventional device for compensating for signal attenuation. The analog signal is first transmitted to the automatic gain controller 104 through a wired channel or a wireless channel 102. After receiving the analog signal, the automatic gain controller 104 amplifies the analog signal and then transmits it to the analog digital converter 106, and then the analog The digital converter 106 converts the analog signal into a digital signal, and finally outputs it to the equalizer 108. In the conventional method of adjusting the gain, the accumulator 110 and the averager 112 are used to calculate and average multiple digital signals, and then send them to the automatic gain control corresponding circuit U4. The automatic gain control corresponding circuit 1M will calculate the averaged data based on this Alas, adjust the gain output by the automatic gain controller 104 to the analog signal so that the digital signal of the input equalizer can meet the system requirements. However, in the practice of adjusting the gain, the accumulator 11 needs to count the amplitude of a large number of input signals, which will affect the operating time of the overall device. 3 _ This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 Gongfa — ----------- ^^ f · ------- Order --------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Ministry of Economy Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau's Consumer Cooperatives [238603 7596twf.doc / 009 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (>) And this digital signal is already affected by ISI, most of it has been distorted, not the original digital signal, so Use this digital signal for statistics and averaging, and then output it to the automatic gain control corresponding circuit 114 to adjust the gain output by the automatic gain controller 104 to the analog signal. It is not possible to obtain accurate gain to adjust the input analog signal. The method of compensating for signal attenuation has the following disadvantages: 1. It needs to store a large number of digital signals to count the amplitude of the input signal, which delays the operation time of the overall device; 2. The signal will be affected by ISI, which will increase the The estimation is inaccurate; and 3. After the gain of the automatic gain controller is fixed, the starting weight of the equalizer needs to be estimated, but it is often impossible to estimate accurately. In view of this, the present invention provides a compensation signal based on the equalizer. Attenuation devices to improve the conventional problems, including: automatic gain controller 'analog digital converter, automatic gain control corresponding circuit and equalizer. Among them, the' auto gain controller 'is used to amplify the analog signal and output. Analog digital The converter is coupled to the output of the automatic gain controller for converting the analog signal into a digital signal and output. The corresponding circuit of the automatic gain control is coupled to the input of the automatic gain controller for adjusting the gain of the automatic gain controller. The equalizer is coupled to the output of the analog-to-digital converter and the input of the corresponding circuit of the automatic gain control to eliminate the interference of adjacent symbols (ISI).

Description of the invention ()) In the embodiment, the equalizer can be achieved by using any adaptive filter, and its constituent module can be simply a feedforward equalizer, or a feedback equalizer to increase the effect of equalization. The present invention further provides an equalizer-based method for compensating signal attenuation, which is used to equalize an input signal according to a weight, wherein the weight includes a main weight, and the main weight is the largest weight in the equalizer. The method includes the following steps: First adjust the gain according to the main weight, then adjust the input signal according to this gain, then adjust the weight according to this input signal, and then equalize this input signal. If the weight becomes stable, use this weight to process the input signal with this gain; if the weight is not If it is stable, go back to the step of adjusting the gain according to the main weight. In addition, the present invention can be applied to an equalization system with a training signal or an equalization system with no training signal (no training signal). In the present invention, the equalizer is used to eliminate the problem of interference between the input signal before and after the ISI. Therefore, the automatic gain control corresponding circuit can be used to adjust the gain of the input signal by the automatic gain controller, so that the system gradually approaches the optimal gain.

Description of the Invention (θ) A block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the device, please refer to FIG. 4 at the same time, which shows a flowchart of the steps of the method of the present invention. The equalizer-based device for compensating signal attenuation of the present invention includes: an automatic gain controller 304, an analog digital converter 306, a feedforward equalizer 308 (located in the equalizer 316), and an automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 . The automatic gain controller 304 is used to amplify the analog signal and output it. The analog-to-digital converter 306 is coupled to the output terminal of the automatic gain controller 304 for converting the analog signal into a digital signal and outputting it. The automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 is coupled to the input terminal of the automatic gain controller 304 to adjust the gain of the automatic gain controller 304. The equalizer 316 includes four parts: a feedforward equalizer 308, a feedback equalizer 314, a cutter 312, and an adder 318. The feedforward equalizer 308 is coupled to the output terminal of the analog-to-digital converter 306 and the input terminal of the automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 to compensate for the attenuation of the digital signal. For example, when a signal passes through a cable channel or a wireless channel, it will be subject to interference from nearby signals (inter symbol interference (hereinafter referred to as ISI)), so the signal will be distorted and must be equalized. However, because its amplitude may become smaller, the automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 will adjust the gain output by the automatic gain controller 304 to the input signal according to a preset main weight (the main weight is the largest of several weights) Step 402), and then use the gain of the automatic gain controller 304 to amplify the amplitude of the signal (Step 404), so that the output signal can reach the range acceptable by the analog-to-digital converter 306, and the analog-to-digital converter 306 receives this. After the signal, the signal will be converted into a digital signal and then sent to the feedforward equalizer 3102. After the feedforward equalizer 308 receives the digital signal, (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) Install! —Order i! 羲 · Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1 2 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1238603 7596twf. d〇c / 009 V. Description of the invention) It will adjust several weights (step 406) and then equalize this digital signal (step 408) so that its amplitude can reach the state without being affected by iSI and interference. The circuit 31 adjusts the gain output by the automatic gain controller 30 to the input signal according to the main weight (step 408). Then, when the next signal passes through the wired or wireless channel 302, it will also be interfered by ISI, so the signal will be distorted in the same way, the amplitude may become smaller or affect the front and back signals, so the automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 will adjust according to the adjustment After the main weight is adjusted, the gain of the automatic gain controller 304 to the input signal is adjusted (step 402), and then the adjusted gain of the automatic gain controller 304 is used to amplify the amplitude of the signal (step 404), so that The output signal can reach a range acceptable by the analog-to-digital converter 306. After receiving the signal, the analog-to-digital converter 306 converts the signal into a digital signal and sends it to the feedforward equalizer 308. After the feedforward equalizer 301 receives the digital signal, it adjusts several weights. (Step 406) The digital signal is then equalized (Step 4 08) so that its amplitude can reach a state where it is not affected by II and interference. When the weight of the right templer is unstable, go back to step 402. If the equalizer weights become stable, the gain is fixed, and the final gain and weight are used to compensate the input signal in the future (step 412). That is, referring to FIG. 5, which shows the compensation signal diagram of the equalizer. Equalizers can be achieved with adaptive filters. The equalizer's method for compensating the input signal is to eliminate the interference of adjacent signals according to each weight, that is, the feedforward equalizer output: x2w2 + x3w3 + .. · XmWm + ... + XxWx, where 乂 1 ^ Is the signal to be equalized, and Xi,

At this time, the weight of the equalizer, including the main weight, is adjusted according to the general equalizer coefficient adjustment method, such as the Least-Mean-Square (LMS) method or the Recursive Least- Square, RLS) 〇 In addition, the equalizer-based compensation signal attenuation device further includes: a cutter 312, coupled to the output terminal of the equalizer, used to determine the signal output level after equalization; feedback equalizer Is coupled to the adder 318, so that its output is added to the output of the feed-forward equalizer, and the added 値 is input to the cutter 312. In addition, the device and method of the present invention are applicable to equalization systems with training signals and blind equalization systems without training signals. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics In summary, the present invention uses a feed-forward equalizer 308 to eliminate the problem of input signal ISI, but the equalizer also partially compensates for the attenuation of energy. When the input signal energy is insufficient, the main weight will increase to maintain a fixed output energy. The automatic gain control corresponding circuit 310 will adjust the gain of the input signal by the automatic gain controller 304 according to the main weight because the automatic gain control corresponds to the input of the circuit 310 The signal and output signal are monotonically increasing functions, so when the main weight becomes larger, the gain of the automatic gain controller 304 will also increase. When the gain becomes larger, the main weight will no longer become large, and the system will become optimal.
