Abstract: A Method to maintain Synchronization Tracking in TDD Wireless Communication comprises the steps: divide a midamble into two parts, then detect the first part and the second part of the midamble; perform an auto-correlation property operation between the two parts and a part corresponding to a local midamble and obtain two peaks; compare the amplitude of the two peaks; advance or retard a local timer based on the result of the comparison. The interlaced sampling method will harm the SNR of channel estimation only very slightly. By using this method, the sample frequency can be decreased to only one time of the chip rate of a TD-SCDMA system while still maintaining the ability to track the downlink synchronization.

Abstract: In the image pickup system of the present invention,
factors that have an effect on noise such as the signal level,
temperature of the CCD during shooting, exposure time, gain
and the like are dynamically acquired, the noise level of the
CCD is estimated for example for each pixel by a noise
estimating unit, and signal components equal to or less than
this noise level in the video signals are suppressed by a
noise reducing unit, so that a high-quality image that is
substantially free of noise is obtained while preserving the
edges of the image and the like. Here, the CCD temperature is
estimated in the noise estimating unit according to the
correlation between the signal variance and the temperature in
the optical black region. Furthermore, the noise estimating
unit calculates the signal level as an average value in a
local region.
