Digital video broadcasting for Terrestrial (DVB-T) is one of the major standards for the fixed reception of digital television services, and the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) demodulator is a critical module of DVB-T receivers. As the remarkable advace of the VLSI (very large scale integration) circuits, the SOC (system-on-a-chip) of the DVB-T receiver is an inevitabel evolution. Considering the integration of the mixed-signal circuits, the issues ot beat could be the frequency synthesis and the calibration of the mixed-signal circuits. Hence, this thesis proposes an OFDM demodulator and discusses the design issues emerged from the SOC integration.
The proposed OFDM demodulator is composed of four blocks: time synchronization, frequency synchronization, 2K/8K mode FFT (fast Fourier transform), and channel estimation. The demodulator utilizes the pilot signals embeded in OFDM symbols to estimate the frequency offset and the channel response. Besides, the demodulator use the cyclic prefix of an OFDM symbol to find the correct starting position of an OFDM symbol, and consequently the payload data of an OFDM symbol can be transmitted to the 2K/8K FFT for further processing.
As the demand for a low noise frequency signal, we propose a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) based on the quadruple angle approximation. According to the proposed trigonometric 2nd-order quadruple angle approximation, the DDFS can produce a high-resolution and low-phase noise digital sinusoid without any ROM (read only memory).
The digital calibration is an effective scheme to prevent ADCs (analog-to-digital converter) from the interference of noise. A random number generator (RNG) is an essential component for the calibration circuitry. However, the realization of the RNG is an important but long ignored issue. This thesis proposes a RNG based on a chaotic system wherein the coefficients of the system is dynamically changed to attain an ideal random bit stream with flat power spectrum density.
