Abstract: A signal processing apparatus comprises: a signal sampling module comprising a signal input unit configured to receive an input signal which includes a multiband frequency spectrum, a signal splitter 101 configured to split the input signal along a plurality of branches 102a,b,…, and a plurality of analogue-to-digital converters (ADC) 103a,b,…, wherein each branch comprises a respective ADC to sample the input signal; and a clock distribution module 300 configured to generate a plurality of unique and random delays for each branch, such that the timing at which the input signal in each branch is sampled by each respective ADC is offset from one another, wherein the plurality of unique and random delays are generated based on delay values stored in the clock distribution module. A random number generation unit 215 updates the values stored in module 200 with new generated values. A digital signal recovery module 200 recovers the signals output from the ADCs. The random delays are said to remove performance degradation fixed delay lines experience with certain kinds of sparse signals.

Title: Rotating accumulator
Inventor: Hendkik Lambertus Muller
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2020-02-10
Abstract: A processor has vector registers holding components of a vector. An instruction in its instruction set multiplies corresponding elements from two input vectors rV, 107. The resulting products are then added together. The sum of the products s is added to the component at one end of an output vector rA. The output vector is rotated so that the final sum is at the opposite end of the output vector. The first input may be a register. The second input may be from memory. The output may be a register. The registers may be specified in the instruction or may be implicit. A sequence of instructions may be executed using the same first input register and output register and with different second input vectors from memory. If the sequence is not equal to an integer multiple of the number of components in the output vector, the output vector may be rotated until the total number of rotations equals an integer multiple of the number of components.
