Early detection of segment type using BPSK and DBPSK modulated carriers in ISDB-T receivers

摘要

A receiver system for early detection of a segment type of an input signal based on BPSK and DBPSK modulated carriers is provided. The receiver system includes a tuner that converts the input signal into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal, a signal conditioning module that converts the IF signal into a baseband signal, a Frequency Domain Synchronization (FDS) block that detects the segment type of the input signal based on a carrier powers, a Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration Control (TMCC) decode block that performs a decoding operation on the received signal, a channel estimation block that estimates a channel and obtains a channel information. The TMCC decode block uses the channel information obtained from channel estimation block to correct a fast-frequency selective fading on the received signal before the decoding operation.
