Abstract

A correcting apparatus for timing recovery of a receiver is provided. The receiver includes a timing recovery module that outputs a first symbol and a second symbol. The correcting apparatus includes: a channel impulse response module, configured to generate a first set of peak times and a second set of peak times according to the first symbol and the second symbol, respectively; and a calculation module, configured to calculate a correction signal according to a relationship between the first and second sets of peak times and to send the correction signal to the timing recovery module.

Claims (10)

1. A correcting method for timing recovery of a receiver, the receiver comprising a timing recovery module that outputs a first symbol and a second symbol, the correcting method comprising:

calculating channel impulse responses for the first symbol and the second symbol to obtain a first set of peak times and a second set of peak times, respectively; and

calculating a correction signal according to a relationship between the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times, and sending the correction signal to the timing recovery module.

2. The correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating the relationship between the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times comprises:

determining a first peak time and a second peak time from the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times according to the relationship between the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times, and calculating the correction signal according to a time difference between the first peak time and the second peak time.

3. The correcting method according to claim 2 , wherein a correction amount corresponding to the correction signal is directly proportional to the time difference between the first peak time and the second peak time.

4. The correcting method according to claim 2 , wherein the first peak time and the second peak time are times having largest responses in the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times, respectively.

5. The correcting method according to claim 2 , wherein a relative position of the first peak time in the first set of peak times is same as a relative position of the second peak time in the second set of peak times.

6. The correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein the first symbol and the second symbol are pilot signals.

7. The correcting method according to claim 1 , wherein the first set of peak times and the second set of peak times are times corresponding to a plurality of peaks higher than a threshold when channel impulse responses are calculated for the first symbol and the second symbol.
