Data clock recovery loop jam set using subcarrier frequency estimate

Номер: US20120002772A1

Автор: Dean Kawaguchi

Принадлежит: Intelleflex Corp

A method for jam setting an initial frequency of a data clock recovery loop according to one embodiment includes generating a frequency error signal in a frequency error detector from sideband signals within a backscattered radio frequency signal, wherein the frequency error accumulates in a frequency error filter coupled to an output of the frequency error detector; at about an end of an acquisition period, freezing the accumulated frequency error in the frequency error filter; and using the frozen accumulated frequency error to jam set an initial frequency of a data clock recovery loop. Such methodology may also be implemented as a system using logic for performing the various operations. Additional systems and methods are also presented.

The wireless multimedia center receives all the signals and distributes segments of said signals via a transmitter. The video signals are transmitted by orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in which all signals are added together and summed as an orthogonal array having dimensions of time, frequency and amplitude, to transmit spread spectrum multiplexed signals. Each pulse has sufficiently long individual pulse widths to defeat multi-path, reflection and absorption phase induced losses. The video signals are distributed to one or more end units. The end units communicate with the wireless multimedia center, controlling which segments of which signals are distributed to each end unit.
