Abstract
A method of fast fading channel Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) trigger point tracking in an integrated services digital broadcasting (ISDB) receiver includes inputting a signal in a fading channel including N Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, determining an average correlation result of a current time-domain sample of the signal and a previous time-domain sample taken previously of the signal, accumulating the average correlation result for at least one of the OFDM symbols, determining a peak of the average correlation result to obtain a peak position, and identifying the peak position as a trigger point of the input signal. The peak position may be compared with a first trigger point to generate a trigger point error signal. The first trigger point may be set at the middle of a guard of an OFDM symbol to generate the trigger point error signal.
