Abstract

See full text

A fast blind scan method first initializes pointers to fetch a block of spectrum and then checks whether the block contains a high spectrum signal and whether the difference between a carrier frequency of the high spectrum signal and a start pointer is greater than a first threshold. When the high spectrum signal is absent or the difference is not greater than the first threshold, it checks whether there is a full band channel in the block. When the full band channel exists, a signal detection and parameter extraction operation is performed and the start pointer is set to be a frequency of a second cross point. Then, it checks whether the difference between the start pointer and an end pointer is greater than a second threshold and, if not, a carrier frequency pointer is set to enable a tuner to fetch a next block.
