Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009069082A2] Low-complexity detection methods and apparatus are provided for detecting signal frame configuration in a DTV receiver or the like. In one embodiment, the detection takes advantage of a difference in average power between the signal frame header and the signal frame body in certain signal frame configurations. The specific frame header length of the signal frame configurations may also be exploited to identify the configuration and simplify the detection algorithm. Advantages of the method include that it is not sensitive to carrier frequency error or sampling frequency error and is robust and reliable in various wireless channels. Moreover, it entails only a small amount of computation and minimal additional buffer space for intermediate data storage. The power consumption can be made very low, a particular advantage for potable and mobile DTV receivers when they scan DTV programs. In one embodiment, the method only uses amplitude information of the received signals and can in large part share resources with other modules, such as an AGC module.
