The filter bank comprises a plurality of filter units each of which has one input and two outputs forming two paths whose transfer functions are complementary to each other, where the plurality of filter units are connected to form a tree structure. | 02-11-2016 |
20160105861 | ANTENNA DELAY BUFFERING IN TELECOMMUNICATION RECEIVERS - A telecommunication receiver is arranged for receiving related data originating from multiple antennas, which data have different times of arrival due to, for example, different delays. The receiver comprises an input buffer for buffering data, a transform unit for Fourier transforming the data received from the input buffer into transformed data, and an output buffer for buffering the transformed data received from the transform unit. The input buffer is arranged for passing each set of data items to the transform unit when the relevant data item has been received in the input buffer, while the transform unit is arranged for removing redundant parts of the data. In addition, the output buffer is arranged for synchronizing the transformed data. Thus the buffering for delay compensation is carried out in the output buffer. | 04-14-2016 |
