Patent ID: 6856483

Claim:
A device for generating synchronous numeric signals, comprising: first signal-generating means which supply numeric reference signal having a first frequency and a first period and including a plurality of reference periods; second signal-generating means which generate an internal numeric signal (X 0 , X 1 , . . . , X J ) having a second frequency and a second period (T DEC ), and a synchronized numeric signal; wherein said second signal-generating means comprise predicting means which generate, with a third period (T BS ) and a third frequency higher than said first frequency and said second frequency, estimated samples (S′ ACC , S″ ACC ) correlated to a current sample (X 1 ) and to a predetermined number of former samples (X J−1 , X J−2 ) of said internal numeric signal (X 0 , X 1 , . . . , X J ); said predicting means comprising selection means controlled by said first signal-generating means for selecting one among said estimated samples (S′ ACC ) in each reference period, said synchronized numeric signal being formed by said selected estimated samples (S′ ACC ).
