Abstract

A signal correction method and receiver receives an asynchronous wireless signal including a code signal, and determines whether the code signal is discriminated as a regular code. When the determined code signal is not discriminated as the regular code, the signal correction method and receiver changes a sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal within a predetermined range on sampling. When the code signal is still not discriminated as the regular code after changing the sampling time, the signal correction method and receiver changes a tuning frequency of a local oscillation signal.

Claims

1. A signal correction method, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving an asynchronous wireless signal including a code signal;

(b) determining whether the code signal is discriminated as a regular code; and

(c) changing a sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal within a predetermined range on sampling when the code signal is not discriminated as the regular code in the step (b),

wherein the changing of the sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal is performed without changing a tuning frequency of a local oscillation signal.

2. The correction method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

(d) determining whether the code signal is discriminated as the regular code after the step (c) is performed; and

(e) changing a tuning frequency of a local oscillation signal when the code signal is still not discriminated as the regular code in the step (d).

3. The correction method as set forth in claim 2, wherein, when the step (c) is performed, the tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal is not changed.

4. A signal correction method, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving an asynchronous wireless signal including a code signal;

(b) determining whether the code signal is discriminated as a regular code;

(c) changing a tuning frequency of a local oscillation signal when the code signal is not discriminated as the regular code in the step (b);

(d) determining whether the code signal is discriminated as the regular code after the step (c) is performed; and

(e) changing a sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal within a predetermined range on sampling when the code signal is still not discriminated as the regular code in the step (d),

wherein the changing of the sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal is performed without changing the tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal.

5. A receiver;

, comprising;

a front-end circuit, which receives an asynchronous wireless signal, and converts the asynchronous wireless signal into an intermediate frequency signal by multiplying the asynchronous wireless signal with a local oscillation signal;

a code signal reader, which reads a code signal from the intermediate frequency signal output from the front-end circuit; and

a controller, determining whether the code signal is discriminated as a regular code, and changing a sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal within a predetermined range on the front-aid circuit when the code signal is not discriminated as the regular code,

wherein the controller changes the sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal without changing a tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal.

6. The receiver as set forth in claim 5, wherein the controller changes a tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal on the front-end circuit when the code signal corrected by changing of the sampling time is still not discriminated as the regular code.

7. The receiver as set forth in claim 6, wherein, when the controller changes the sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal, the controller does not change the tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal.

8. A receiver, comprising:

a front-end circuit, which receives an asynchronous wireless signal, and converts the asynchronous wireless signal into an intermediate frequency signal by multiplying the asynchronous wireless signal with a local oscillation signal;

a code signal reader, which reads a code signal from the intermediate frequency signal output from the front-end circuit; and

a controller, determining whether the code signal is discriminated as a regular code, and changing a tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal on the front-end circuit when the code signal is not discriminated as the regular code

wherein the controller changes a sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal within a predetermined range on the front-end circuit when the code signal corrected by changing of the tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal is still not discriminated as the regular code,

wherein, when the controller changes the sampling time for the asynchronous wireless signal, the controller does not change the tuning frequency of the local oscillation signal.
