Frequency offset correction for a data receiving system

摘要

A data receiving system has a radio frequency unit for demodulating a series of signals transmitted at a carrier wave frequency, a local oscillating unit for generating a demodulating frequency used for the demodulation of the series of signals, an equalizing unit for removing a distortion of the series of signals demodulated in the radio frequency unit, a phase shift estimating unit for taking out phase information from the series of signals, calculating a time changing rate of the phase information and estimating a phase shift caused by a difference between the carrier wave frequency and the demodulating frequency according to the time changing rate, and a correcting unit for correcting the series of signals transmitted from the equalizing unit according to the phase shift to remove the phase shift from the series of signals. Accordingly, because the phase shift is estimated by using the phase information placed in the series of signals, an influence of a bit pattern of a series of training bits arranged in the series of signals can be removed. <IMAGE>
