Abstract

A clock offset compensation arrangement may include a fractional interpolator for applying a trigonometric interpolation to a sampled input signal according to a clock offset signal. It uses transform-based processing in the frequency domain. Compared to a polynomial type interpolation it may be easier to implement, and may achieve a closer approximation to an ideal interpolation. It may reduce the effects of non-linear type errors introduced by truncation of higher powers. The arrangement may be applied to receivers or transmitters of multi-carrier modems, as well as other applications which use rate adaptation or synchronization.
