SIGNAL PROCESSOR WITH REDUCED COMPLEXITY, AND RECEIVER COMPRISING SUCH A SIGNAL PROCESSOR

摘要

A signal processor has an X-Y rotation circuit and a phase angle control circuit, in the phase angle control circuit, an input phase being approximated by a series of consecutive, in magnitude, decreasing phase angles for forming an output vector by rotation of an input vector over the approximation of the input phase. In the phase angle control circuit, an accuracy of the representation of a phase angle out of the series of phase angles, is dependent on the magnitude of the phase angle, thereby reducing the number of computations in the phase angle control circuit.
