Abstract

A modem ( ) including receive circuitry ( ) implemented by way of a digital signal processor ( ) is disclosed. The receive circuitry ( ) operates according to a receive clock (CLK ) that is based upon the output of a free run oscillator ( ). An incoming frequency multiplexed signal (f(t)) is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter ( ) and demodulated by way of a Fast Fourier Transform function ( ). After such demodulation, a phase rotation function ( ) applies a phase shift to the demodulated signal corresponding to an estimated phase offset (&tgr;) between the receive clock (CLK ) and a pilot signal (P) transmitted by the transmitting modem; a finite impulse response filter function ( ) applies a digital filter to the demodulated signal to correct for phase error based upon an estimated frequency offset (&Dgr;). According to another disclosed embodiment, a pre-emphasis FIR filter function ( ) and a pre-emphasis phase rotation function ( ) are applied to an upstream singal, based upon the estimated phase offset (&eegr;) and frequency offset (&Dgr;).
