Interpolating bandpass filter for packet-data receiver synchronization

摘要

An interpolating bandpass filter for packet-data receiver synchronization comprises a single delay line that delays the passband-sampled data from the analog-to-digital converter, and a convolving structure that uses the delay line to implement a L-times oversampling bandpass filter. A separate accumulator accumulates a fractional phase difference that represents the frequency offset between the remote transmitter's frequency and the receiver's sampling frequency. The integer portion of the accumulator is used to determine the number of samples to delay the input of the filter, while the fractional portion is used to choose two coefficient sets closest to the desired delay and to interpolate between these two filter sets.
