Abstract: A receiver receives and front-end processes a plurality of component carrier signals, each carrier spaced apart in frequency. The digitized, baseband component carrier signals are inspected to determine estimates of timing offsets between the carriers. A control unit selects a first component carrier signal having data scheduled to the receiver. If data is scheduled to the receiver on other component carrier signals, the control unit generates timing and frequency offset adjustment control signals to time- and frequency-align each other component carrier signal having relevant data, to the first component carrier signal. All the relevant component carrier signals are then combined, and a single OFDM symbol, spanning all the relevant component carriers, is presented to an FFT for symbol detection.

Abstract: A diagnostic arrangement is disclosed for determining the length of arbitrary shift registers not exceeding a maximum length. Knowledge of this length is an essential prerequisite for data manipulations by means of shift registers. Concerned are the reading of shift registers and the display of the contents stored in them, as well as the writing of arbitrarily selectable patterns into said shift registers. The arrangement proper includes circuitry connected to the shift register or test object for generating a test shift pattern of the length Lmax+K, with K>/=2, which pattern is made up of a defined bit configuration, for example, only binary ones, with a defined transition at the end facing the test object and which is shifted through the test object. Also provided is storage means of length Lmax+K, which is connected to the output of the test object and which, as the test shift pattern is shifted, accommodates the information of the length Lx of the test object and the part Lmax+K-Lx of the test shift pattern. The arrangement also includes a display means, whose individual fields are associated with one storage cell each of the storage means, so that its contents can be displayed and thus the data transition, for example, from zero to one, indicating the end of the shift register of unknown length, can be determined. From the subsequently determinable beginning and end of the shift register of unknown length, its actual length can be derived.
