APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PULSE POSITION FOR SIGNAL ENCODED BY PULSE MODULATION

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for determining a pulse position for a signal encoded by a pulse modulation are provided to increase the effective SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of a received signal and achieve more reliable communication links. CONSTITUTION: A signal is receivable as at least the first component(PCS) and the second component(DCS). The first storage unit(102) stores at least one symbol of the first component(PCS) and the second storage unit(104) at least one symbol of the second component(DCS). A determination unit(118) comprises a probability table(110), which in case that the first and second components(PCS,DCS) are received is addressed with the at least one symbol of the first component(PCS) and the at least one symbol of the second component(DCS). The probability table(110) provides a value that is defined as the pulse position(DDS).
