Finite impulse response filter and digital signal receiving apparatus

摘要

An A/D conversion section performs oversampling on an analog signal at a rate M times a symbol rate to convert the analog signal into a digital signal. A FIR filtering section has two delay-element sequences, each with a plurality of delay elements. The two delay-element sequences have different delay directions, i.e., a forward direction and a reverse direction. The delay directions can be switched, and according to a finite impulse response train having such delay-element sequences, a convolutional calculation is performed. A phase determining section determines a phase used in making a decision in a decision section. The decision section makes a decision on a filtered signal using the phase determined in the phase determining section to generate bit data. A digital signal receiving apparatus is thus achieved which determines a phase with a high accuracy without increasing the oversampling number, and performs a fast calculation while having a reduced circuitry scale.
