ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a solution that eliminates both the voltage-controlled oscillator (“VXCO”105) and its associated D/A converter (120) from the timing recovery scheme, thereby significantly reducing manufacturing costs for modems, such as asymmetric digital subscriber loop (“ADSL”) modems. The present invention also enables tracking of a wider frequency offset. The present invention provides this with a novel timing recovery scheme implemented entirely in the digital domain. The present invention includes a free running clock (205) as the sampling clock for the A/D (110) and D/A (115) converters, and interpolators (210, 220, 615and635) to correct timing errors for both the receive and transmit samples. The desired sample can be obtained based on its timing offset and its neighboring samples.
