An automatic sampling control system for digital monitors. A clock generation circuit generates a sampling clock. A phase controller modifies the phase of the sampling clock by a phase amount. An ADC samples a frame of an analog display signal to generate digital samples. A value which is a function of the samples is generated. The function generally generates a larger value with correspondingly large sample values. The phase amount is modified for successive image frames until a maximum function value is generated. When successive image frames do not change substantially in image content, the phase amount represents the optimal phase change for the sampling clock. If the image content is changing substantially, the phase adjustment may be disabled.

A high-bandwidth SPM tip scanner is provided that additionally includes an objective that is vertically movable within the scan head to increase the depth of focus for the sensing light beam. Movable optics also are preferably provided to permit targeting of the sensing light beam on the SPM's probe and to permit the sensing light beam to track the probe during scanning. The targeting and tracking permit the impingement of a small sensing light beam spot on the probe under direct visual inspection of focused illumination beam of an optical microscope integrated into the SPM and, as a result, permits the use of a relatively small cantilever with a commensurately small resonant frequency. A high-bandwidth tip scanner constructed in this fashion has a fundamental resonant frequency greater than greater than 500 Hz and a sensing light beam spot minor diameter of less than 10 μm. Images can be scanned on large samples having a largest dimension exceeding 7 mm with a resolution of less than 1 Angstrom and while scanning at rates exceeding 30 Hz.

A frequency and symbol timing synchronization apparatus for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals, and a method performed by the apparatus are provided. This apparatus includes an autocorrelation unit, a comparator, a peak flat detector, a frequency offset estimator, a frequency offset compensation unit, a cross correlation unit and a symbol timing synchronization unit. The autocorrelation unit receives data including a synchronizing symbol made up of at least three identical synchronizing signals, delays the received data by a predetermined delay amount, performs autocorrelation between the received data and the delayed data, normalizes an autocorrelated value, and outputs a normalized autocorrelated value. The comparator compares the normalized autocorrelated value with a predetermined threshold value. The peak flat detector detects as a flat section a section where the normalized autocorrelated value is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The frequency offset estimator estimates a frequency offset within the flat section to obtain a frequency offset value. The frequency offset compensation unit compensates for the frequency offset of a received signal using the frequency offset value. The cross correlation unit performs cross correlation using a frequency offset-compensated signal and a reference signal, and normalizes the cross-correlated value to output a normalized cross-correlated value. The symbol timing synchronization unit detects a point where the cross-correlated value is maximum, and performs symbol timing estimation, thereby performing symbol timing synchronization. In the symbol timing and frequency synchronization apparatus and method, accurate frequency synchronization can be achieved because a large sample error can be allowed. Also, a symbol timing error can be reduced since symbol timing synchronization is achieved using a frequency offset-compensated signal.
