Abstract

A method and an apparatus are provided in which an analog signal may be sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to generate digital signal samples affected by baseline wander. Digital signal processing (DSP) may be performed on the digital signal samples to generate a recovered signal with corrected baseline wander. The DSP is performed using a first adaptable coefficient for a current digital signal sample and a second adaptable coefficient for a previous digital signal sample.

Claims (37)

1 . A method comprising:

sampling an analog signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to generate digital signal samples affected by baseline wander; and

performing digital signal processing (DSP) on the digital signal samples to generate a recovered signal with corrected baseline wander, wherein the DSP is performed using a first adaptable coefficient for a current digital signal sample and a second adaptable coefficient for a previous digital signal sample,

wherein performing the DSP comprises:

multiplying the current digital signal sample by the first adaptable coefficient to generate a first result;

multiplying the previous digital signal sample by the second adaptable coefficient to generate a second result; and

summing the first result, the second result, and a third result, wherein the third result is based on a previously recovered signal sample produced by the DSP and fed back into the summation, to generate a current recovered signal sample.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising multiplying the previous recovered signal sample by a number less than 1.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first adaptable coefficient has an initial value of 1 and the second adaptable coefficient has an initial value of −1.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient are determined using a least mean squares algorithm based on a sample error and a desired signal sample.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient are adapted from respective previously determined coefficients by adding a multiplied result of the sample error, the desired signal sample, and a value implemented via a right shift of bits.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient are adapted from respective previously determined coefficients by adding a multiplied result of a first sign of the sample error, a second sign of the desired signal sample, and a value implemented via a right shift of bits.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the sample error is a difference between the desired signal sample and the recovered signal sample.

8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the desired signal sample is based on a sign of the current digital signal sample, all bits of the current digital signal sample, or a number of most significant bits of the current digital signal sample.

9 . An apparatus comprising:

an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to sample an analog signal to generate digital signal samples affected by baseline wander; and

a baseline wander correction circuit configured to perform digital signal processing (DSP) on the digital signal samples to generate a recovered signal with corrected baseline wander, wherein the DSP is performed using a first adaptable coefficient for a current digital signal sample and a second adaptable coefficient for a previous digital signal sample,

wherein the baseline wander correction circuit is further configured to:

multiply the current digital signal sample by the first adaptable coefficient to generate a first result;

multiply the previous digital signal sample by the second adaptable coefficient to generate a second result; and

sum the first result, the second result, and a third result, wherein the third result is based on a previously recovered signal sample produced by the DSP and fed back into the summation, to generate a recovered signal sample.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the baseline wander correction circuit is further configured to multiply the previous recovered signal sample by a number less than 1.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the first adaptable coefficient has an initial value of 1 and the second adaptable coefficient has an initial value of − 1 .

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the baseline wander correction circuit is further configured to determine the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient using a least means squares algorithm based on a sample error and a desired signal sample.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the baseline wander correction circuit is further configured to adapt the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient from respective previously determined coefficients by adding a multiplied result of the sample error, the desired signal sample, and a value implemented via a right shift of bits.

14 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the baseline wander correction circuit is further configured to adapt the first adaptable coefficient and the second adaptable coefficient from respective previously determined coefficients by adding a multiplied result of a first sign of the sample error, a second sign of the desired signal sample, and a value implemented via a right shift of bits.

15 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the sample error is a difference between the desired signal sample and the recovered signal sample.

16 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the desired signal sample is based on a sign of the current digital signal sample, all bits of the current digital signal sample, or a number of most significant bits of the current digital signal sample.

17 . An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

sample an analog signal, at an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), to generate a digital signal samples affected by baseline wander; and

perform digital signal processing (DSP) on the digital signal samples to generate a recovered signal with corrected baseline wander, wherein the DSP is performed, per sample, using a first adaptable coefficient for a current digital signal sample and a second adaptable coefficient for a previous digital signal sample,

wherein, in performing the DSP, the instructions further cause the processor to:

multiply the current digital signal sample by the first adaptable coefficient to generate a first result;

multiply the previous digital signal sample by the second adaptable coefficient to generate a second result; and

sum the first result, the second result, and a third result, wherein the third result is based on a previously recovered signal sample produced by the DSP and fed back into the summation, to generate a recovered signal sample.
