Member Function Documentation

virtual void atsci_equalizer::filter ( const float *  input_samples,
const atsc::syminfo input_tags,
float *  output_samples,
int  nsamples 
) [virtual]

produce nsamples of output from given inputs and tags

This is the main entry point. It examines the input_tags and local state and invokes the appropriate virtual function to handle each sub-segment of the input data.

input_samples must have (nsamples + ntaps() - 1) valid entries. input_samples[0] .. input_samples[nsamples - 1 + ntaps() - 1] are referenced to compute the output values.

input_tags must have nsamples valid entries. input_tags[0] .. input_tags[nsamples - 1] are referenced to compute the output values.

virtual void atsci_equalizer::filter_data_seg_sync ( const float *  input_samples,
float *  output_samples,
int  nsamples,
int  offset 
) [protected, pure virtual]

Input range is known to consist of only a data segment sync or a portion of a data segment sync. nsamples will be in [1,4]. offset will be in [0,3]. offset is the offset of the input from the beginning of the data segment sync pattern.

input_samples has (nsamples + ntaps() - 1) valid entries. input_samples[0] .. input_samples[nsamples - 1 + ntaps() - 1] may be referenced to compute the output values.

Implemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.

virtual void atsci_equalizer::filter_field_sync ( const float *  input_samples,
float *  output_samples,
int  nsamples,
int  offset,
int  which_field 
) [protected, pure virtual]

Input range is known to consist of only a field sync segment or a portion of a field sync segment. nsamples will be in [1,832]. offset will be in [0,831]. offset is the offset of the input from the beginning of the data segment sync pattern. We consider the 4 symbols of the immediately preceding data segment sync to be the first symbols of the field sync segment. which_field is in [0,1] and specifies which field (duh).

input_samples has (nsamples + ntaps() - 1) valid entries. input_samples[0] .. input_samples[nsamples - 1 + ntaps() - 1] may be referenced to compute the output values.

Implemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.

virtual void atsci_equalizer::filter_normal ( const float *  input_samples,
float *  output_samples,
int  nsamples 
) [protected, pure virtual]

Input range is known NOT TO CONTAIN data segment syncs or field syncs. This should be the fast path. In the non decicion directed case, this just runs the input through the filter without adapting it.

input_samples has (nsamples + ntaps() - 1) valid entries. input_samples[0] .. input_samples[nsamples - 1 + ntaps() - 1] may be referenced to compute the output values.

Implemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.

virtual int atsci_equalizer::npretaps ( ) const [pure virtual]

how many taps are "in the future".

This allows us to handle what the ATSC folks call "pre-ghosts". What it really does is allow the caller to jack with the offset between the tags and the data so that everything magically works out.

npretaps () must return a value between 0 and ntaps() - 1.

If npretaps () returns 0, this means that the equalizer will only handle multipath "in the past." I suspect that a good value would be something like 15% - 20% of ntaps ().

Implemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.

virtual int atsci_equalizer::ntaps ( ) const [pure virtual]

how much history the input data stream requires.

This must return a value >= 1. Think of this as the number of samples you need to look at to compute a single output sample.

Implemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.

virtual void atsci_equalizer::reset ( ) [virtual]

reset state (e.g., on channel change)

Note, subclasses must invoke the superclass's method too!

Reimplemented in atsci_equalizer_lms, atsci_equalizer_lms2, and atsci_equalizer_nop.
