A signal processing apparatus for determining whether a receiving signal is a target signal is provided. The apparatus includes: a sampling device for sampling the receiving signal to generate a plurality of sampled values; a first calculation device, coupled to the sampling device, for generating a plurality of first values according to the sampled values and a plurality of reference values; a second calculation device, coupled to the first calculation device, for grouping the first values into a plurality of value groups, respectively calculating the value groups to generate a plurality of second values and generating a determination value by calculating the second values; and a determination device, coupled to the second calculation device, for determining whether the receiving signal is the target signal by comparing the determination value with a threshold value.

Signal processing apparatus and method thereof

An analog television (TV) signal receiving circuit and method and an associated equalizer coefficient configuration apparatus and method are disclosed for correcting a distortion problem occurred in a reception process of an analog TV signal by configuring an equalizer in the analog TV signal receiving circuit. The analog TV signal receiving TV includes a tuner, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a demodulator. The tuner receives an analog radio-frequency (RF) TV signal to generate an analog frequency down conversion signal. The ADC generates a digital frequency down conversion signal according to the analog frequency down conversion signal. The demodulator includes a front-end circuit for generating a digital demodulated signal according to the digital frequency down conversion signal, and an equalizer for generating a digital receiving signal according to the digital demodulated signal. The equalizer includes a plurality of correction coefficients that are generated according to a predetermined rule.
