Interpolation iir filter for ofdm baseband processing

Abstract

A filter for receiver and operative on a stream of OFDM symbols has a symbol timing identifier which indicates the time interval for each symbol and also indicates a non-truncation interval and a truncation interval of the stream of symbols. The stream of OFDM symbols is applied to an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with a reset input for resetting internal registers such that during the non-truncation interval, the reset input is not asserted, and during the truncation interval of the stream of OFDM symbols, the reset input is asserted during the intervals between symbols, as identified by the symbol timing identifier. A transmit filter for a stream of OFDM symbols, each symbol being separated into a first Tg interval, a second Tg interval, a symbol interval, and a final Tg interval, the filter has a stream modifier which discards the first Tg interval, accepts said second Tg interval, accepts the symbol interval and discards said final Tg interval, presenting to an infinite impulse response filter, in sequence, the second Tg interval, the symbol interval and the second Tg interval.
