Title: Procede et dispositif de correction d'erreurs de signaux multiplex
Inventor: TROYA ALFONSO
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de réduire une erreur de phase d'un signal, cette erreur étant due à plusieurs sources d'erreurs. Ce signal est présent dans une représentation de fréquence numérique sous la forme d'une séquence de plusieurs signaux partiels numériques qui sont associés à un certain nombre de sous-porteuses (k) d'une porteuse. Pour chaque signal partiel, on effectue les étapes suivantes: égalisation du signal partiel (Y (i,k)), évaluation de l'erreur de phase du signal partiel (X(i,k)) égalisé, et correction de l'erreur de phase évaluée du signal partiel égalisé. Selon une réalisation de ce procédé, l'égalisation comporte l'élimination d'une accumulation d'une erreur de phase, due à une erreur de fréquence de balayage, du signal partiel sur la séquence des signaux partiels de telle façon que l'accumulation soit insignifiante. En outre l'évaluation comporte une étape de détection de plusieurs signaux pilotes prédéterminés et la détermination d'un facteur de correction de phase à l'appui des signaux pilotes détectés, au moins une opération de multiplication étant effectuée exclusivement à l'aide d'opérations de décalage et d'addition. L'invention concerne enfin un dispositif correspondant.
