The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication.

Since timing is unknown, correlation should be done with the complex signal. Pilot value needs to be either subtracted from the received signal, or added to the reference signal. –Adding the pilot to the reference signal is preferable, since it is difficult to get a reliable estimate of the pilot amplitude at low SNR.

doc.: IEEE / Submission March 2007 Monisha Ghosh, PhilipsSlide 3 Algorithm Steps DTV Signal: x(t), at low IF (5.38 MHz in captured signals). Perform carrier recovery, estimate f c Demodulate: y(t) = x(t)e -j2  fct. Note that y(t) is a complex signal with the pilot nominally at DC. Matched filter: filter y(t) with a SQRC filter, to get z(t) which is still complex. Reference signal is generated by adding pilot value (1.25) to the +/- 5 of the PN511 sequence and upsampling to MHz. Correlate z(t) with the reference (complex output). Take absolute value of the complex correlation and compare to a threshold.

doc.: IEEE / Submission March 2007 Monisha Ghosh, PhilipsSlide 6 Observations Difference in performance between best and worst channel is about 2 dB at P MD = 0.1 and about 3 dB at P MD = The worst channel is WAS_49_39_ _opt, which has a very weak pilot carrier. –Is performance bad due to incorrect carrier recovery? This method is amenable to any IF and sampling rate. –The reference signal is up-sampled to match the sampling rate of the received signal. Combining of peaks from multiple fields can be done as described in IEEE /243r5, using the method described here to obtain the correlation for each field.
