In a DOCSIS transmission network, it is necessary for an upstream receiver to estimate and correct for errors in the carrier frequency of the transmission based upon observations of a preamble sequence. This task is complicated by the fact that microreflections in the upstream channels cause intersymbol interference, which tends to bias the frequency estimation circuit. An economical, ISI-immune algorithm is provided for estimating the carrier frequency of upstream transmissions. The arrangement improves the reliability of the frequency estimates in the presence of ISI, thereby reducing the overhead and increasing the throughput of the upstream channels.

Empirical equations for porous material to describe the frequency property of the microstructure and predict their sound absorption performance. These empirical equations systematically establish a solid system that relates the porosity, the flow resistance and the air mass to their frequency property and describe how to predict sound absorption coefficient in different thickness. These empirical equations reveal that the microstructure are not uniform across the thickness when the materials are exposed to the sound field. The flow resistance is one of the microstructure and is found to be a step function of the frequency. An interchangeability between the thickness and the frequency was established to predict sound absorption coefficient.
