Abstract:
1. An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) equalizer, comprising: a fast Fourier transformer (FFT), to conduct Fourier transformation to received signals to obtain samples of the received signals; a channel estimation circuit to estimate channel effects of a received signal as transformed by the FFT to generate a channel effect estimation value; a coordinate translator, comprising a dual mode CORDIC circuit, to translate the channel estimation value into a polar coordinate value; a phase rotator, comprising said dual mode CORDIC circuit, to compensate phase of the received signal according to the channel estimation value, to generate the real value and imaginary value of the phase compensated signal; and an amplitude adjustment circuit to adjust amplitude of the compensated signal according to the amplitude adjustment value of the channel effect estimation value of the channel estimation circuit, wherein said coordinate translator and said phase rotator use the same CORDIC circuit, and wherein translation of coordinate of said channel effect estimation value comprises calculation according to the following formula: wherein x said calculation comprising setting z o to 0 and the target y i to 0.
