Indications

This stream is still affected by carrier specific

channel distortion resulting in an attenuation of

the signal amplitude and a rotation of the signal

phase. To compensate, a Frequency domain

equalizer (FEQ) and a Rotor (phase shifter) are

implemented. The frequency domain equalization

performs an operation on the received vector in

order to match it with the associated point in the

constellation. The coefficient used to perform the

equalization are floating point, and may be

updated by hardware or software, using a

mechanism of active and inactive table to avoid

DMT synchro problems.In the transmit path, the

IFFT reverses the DMT symbol from frequency

domain to time domain.

The IFFT block is preceded by Fine Tune Gain

(FTG) and Rotor stages, allowing for a

compensation of the possible frequency mismatch

between the master clock frequency and the

transmitter clock frequency (which may be locked

to another reference).

The Inverse Fast Fourier Transform process is

used to transform from frequency domain to time

domain (transmit path). 256 positive frequencies

are processed, giving 512 samples in the time

domain.

The FFT module is a slave DSP engine controlled

by the firmware running on an external controller.

It works off line and communicates with other

blocks through buffers controlled by the ”Data

Symbol Timing Unit”. The DSP executes a

program stored in a RAM area, which constitutes

a flexible element that allows for future system

enhancements.

DPLL

The Digital PLL module receives a metric for the

phase error of the pilot tone. In general, the clock

frequencies at the ends (transmitter and receiver)

do not match exactly. The phase error is filtered

and integrated by a low pass filter, yielding an

estimation of the frequency offset. Various

processes can use this estimate to deal with the

frequency mismatch.

In particular, small accumulated phase error can

be compensated in the frequency domain by a

rotation of the received code constellation (Rotor).

Larger errors are compensated in the time domain

by inserting or deleting clock cycles in the sample

input sequence.

Eventually that leads to achieve less than 2ppm

between the two ends.

Mapper/Demapper, Monitor, Trellis Coding,

FEQ Update

The Demapper converts the constellation points

computed by the FFT to a block of bits. This

means to identify a point in a 2D QAM

constellation plane. The Demapper supports

Trellis coded demodulation and provides a Viterbi

maximum likelihood estimator. When the Trellis is

active, the Demapper receives an indication for

the most likely constellation subset to be used.
