APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A SAMPLING FREQUENCYOF A SAMPLING DEVICE

摘要

A method of controlling sampling frequency of a sampling device (40), where the sampling device (40) generates samples (62) in response to the receipt o f a signal (20) resulting from a transmission of a series of symbols through a channel, the method including the steps of estimating (46) a channel impulse response of the channel from the samples, calculating a characteristic of th e channel impulse response estimate, and determining (52) the sampling frequen cy in accordance with the characteristic.
