Embodiment
Method of the present invention and device are used to obtain the frequency of a multi-path signal.In practical application, this multi-path signal can be an ofdm signal.See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 shows the example of this multi-path signal.As shown in Figure 1, this multi-path signal comprises one first path signal P1 and one second path signal P2.With the ofdm signal is example, and the Cyclic Prefix 21 of the first path signal P1 is by 23 generations of the data segments of duplicating the data 22 among the first path signal P1.Therefore, the content that comprised of Cyclic Prefix 21 is identical with data segments 23.
On the other hand, to be that the second path signal P2 arrives at time of receiving terminal later for the main difference of the first path signal P1 and the second path signal P2.The first path signal P1 and the second path signal P2 are from the signal of same emission source, and its difference is the difference that effect produced because of multi-path signal, and therefore, the Cyclic Prefix 24 of the second path signal P2 is also identical with the Cyclic Prefix 21 of the first path signal P1.Can know that in like manner Cyclic Prefix 21 also is identical with data segments (combination of 25A and 25B) among the second path signal P2 in theory.In addition, label is that the part of 24A is identical in data segments 25A and the Cyclic Prefix 24, data segments 25B then with Cyclic Prefix 24 in label be that the part of 24B is identical.
Because the part Cyclic Prefix 24B of the second path signal P2 and the data 22 of the first path signal P1 have the overlapping part in time, so the part of Cyclic Prefix 24B can receive the interference of data 22.If directly utilize the frequency of Cyclic Prefix 24 these multi-path signals of estimation, with having serious error.Therefore, mainly adopt undisturbed Cyclic Prefix section (zone shown in label 24A) as a target area with device according to the method for the invention, and then utilize a target frequency of this this multi-path signal of target area decision.
First preferred embodiment according to the present invention is a kind of method of obtaining a target frequency of multi-path signal.See also Fig. 2, Fig. 2 shows the flow chart of this method.As shown in Figure 2, at first, this method execution in step S11 receives this first path signal and receives this second path signal via one second path via one first path.Then, this method execution in step S12 determines a target area.This target area is the part of one second Cyclic Prefix of second path signal, and one first Cyclic Prefix of this target area and this first path signal overlaps.Afterwards, this method execution in step S13 is according to this this target frequency of target area decision.This target frequency can be by the clock answer program decision of carrying out to this target area.
In practical application, can the second path signal P2 be postponed according to the method for the invention, producing the second path signal P2 ' that postpones, and find out this target area by the second path signal P2 ' of the relatively second path signal P2 and this delay.See also Fig. 3, Fig. 3 shows the example of the second path signal P2 ' of the first path signal P1, the second path signal P2 and delay.
In example shown in Figure 3, the second path signal P2 ' of delay is by the length L with the second path signal P2 delayed data 22 22Produce.According to the present invention, the data segments 26 among the second path signal P2 can be regarded as a first area with the combination of target area 24A, and data segments 27 then can be regarded as a second area with the combination of data segments 25A.As shown in Figure 3; Data segments 26 among the second path signal P2 ' that postpones in time domain be with the second path signal P2 in data segments 27 overlap, the target area 24A among the second path signal P2 ' of delay in time domain then be with the second path signal P2 in data segments 25A overlap.Be prone to speech, this first area among the second path signal P2 ' of delay in time domain with the second path signal P2 in this second area overlapping.
The difference that can calculate this first area and this second area according to the method for the invention is to produce a difference signal.As discussed previously, data segments 25A is identical with the content of target area 24A.Therefore, the part corresponding to data segments 25A (that is corresponding to target area 24A) should be substantially equal to zero in this difference signal.Relatively, the data segments 27 in data segments in the first area 26 and the second area does not have inevitable association.Therefore, the part corresponding to data segments 26 (that is corresponding to data segments 27) can't equal zero in this difference signal.Approach zero by the signal energy of judging which section in this difference signal, according to the method for the invention can be by the position of finding out target area 24A in this difference signal.
