Abstract
A trigonometric interpolator interpolates between two data samples at an offset &mgr;, where the two data samples are part of a set of N data samples. The trigonometric interpolator fits a trigonometric polynomial to the N data samples and evaluates the trigonometric polynomial at the offset &mgr;. The trigonometric inteprolator can be utilized for data rate changing and to correct mismatches between received samples and transmitted symbols. Simulations demonstrate that the trigonometric interpolater attains better performance than “conventional” interpolators, while simultaneously reducing the required hardware. In embodiments, the filter response of the trigonometric interpolator can be modified to achieve an arbitrary frequency response in order to enhance the interpolator performance. More specifically, the frequency response of the interpolator can be shaped to effectively correspond with the frequency response of the input data samples and the offset &mgr;. Using this optimization technique, the overall interpolation error is reduced. As for the implementation, the optimal interpolator does not require additional hardware when a lookup table is used for sine and c…
