<p>A data processing apparatus maps symbols received from a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols into an output symbol stream. The data processor includes a de-interleaver which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols into a memory for de-interleaving the data symbols received from the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The de-interleaver reads-out the data symbols from the interleaver memory into the output symbol stream to effect the de-interleaving, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are de-interleaved from the sub-carrier signals into the output symbol stream. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit. The linear feedback shift register has thirteen register stages with a generator polynomial for the linear feedback shift register of R i ¹ 12 = R i - 1 ¹ 0 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 1 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 4 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 5 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 9 Š• R i - 1 ¹ 11 , and the permutation code forms, with an additional bit, a fourteen bit address. The data processing apparatus is adapted to de-interleave the data symbols in accordance with an odd interleaving process, thereby providing an improvement in interleaving the data symbols for an 16K operating mode of an OFDM modulated system such as a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard such as DVB-Terrestrial2 (DVB-T2). This is because there is a reduced likelihood that successive data bits which are close in order in an input data stream are mapped onto the same sub-carrier of an OFDM symbol.</p> |
