0.5 /spl mu/m CMOS circuits performing OFDM demodulation and channel estimation/correction for digital terrestrial TV applications

These two 0.5 /spl mu/m CMOS ICs result from DVBirds work. The first IC is dedicated to OFDM demodulation, the second, embedding 710 Kb of RAM, implements channel estimation and correction, a crucial issue in digital terrestrial TV applications. More generally, these two chips are intended for use in a global chipset receiver specified for the DVBird European project, along with a channel decoder IC and a synchronisation IC under development.
