Patent DE-19929284-A1 (DE)
Inventor: SAUTTER WOLFGANG
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile reception method for receiving radio broadcast signals, especially television signals, during which an output signal (SA) is derived from n different input signals (S1...S5) and is reproduced in a receiver. According to the invention, the n input signals (S1...S5) are weighted and the output signal (SA) is formed by summing the weighted input signals, whereby the quality of each of the n input signals (S1...S5) is assessed using at least one predeterminable criterion in order to determine the adaptively established weighting factors. As a result, the output signal (SA) fed to an affiliated receiver is, in the worst case (when namely all remaining input signals are weighted with zero, i.e. are so bad that they do not contribute at all to the improvement of the output signal), only as good as the best individual signal. For the most part, the adaptively weighted summation results in a significant improvement, for example, of the television reception in vehicles or makes this possible in areas with multipath reception and/or weak coverage. The invention also relates to advantageous embodiments of said method and to a circuit for carrying out the same.

coding rate of R, the trellis having a block length T. (b) assigning an
initial conditions to each starting node of the trellis for a forward
iteration through the trellis. (c) computing a forward metric for each
node, starting from the start of the trellis and advancing forward
through the trellis and storing forward metrics of nodes of a plurality
of starting stages of windows. (d) repeating stages d(1)-d(3) until all
lambdas of the trellis are calculated; d(1) retrieving forward metrics
of nodes of a starting stage of a window, the retrieved forward metrics
were computed and stored during step (c). d(2) computing and storing
forward metrics for each node, starting from a second stage of the
