    摘要: Method and apparatus for providing a FSK data slicer for use in wireless telecommunications such as cordless telephones. The FSK data slicer is used by a receiver circuit in a wireless telecommunication device for converting an analog data signal to a digital data signal. Furthermore, the FSK data slicer responds to different mode of the analog data signal. The FSK data slicer includes a low-pass filter, a controller, a comparator, and an integrator. The low-pass filter receives the analog data signal for generating a median voltage, or slice voltage. Furthermore, the low-pass filter includes connectors to allow an external resistor to be serially connected between the filter input and the analog data signal and to allow an external capacitor to be connected in parallel with the slice voltage at the filter output. The bandwidth of the low-pass filter is controlled by the controller. The controller responds to specific intervals of the TDD frames, initial acquisition of data in the analog data signal, and known characteristics of the TDD frames and adjusts the low-pass filter bandwidth, accordingly. As a result, the low-pass filter drives the slice voltage only when it can do so accurately, and drives it strongly when the slice voltage will be very accurate. The comparator receives and compares the analog data signal and the slice voltage in order to produce a digital data signal. The digital data signal is then sent to the integrator, which over-samples each data bit of the digital data signal. The over-sampling is concentrated on the middle three quarters of each data bit, thereby ensuring the highest level of reliability.

    摘要: An apparatus for effecting echo suppression facilitating communications between an analog device and a digital device comprising a transmit circuit for processing outgoing signals, a receive circuit for processing incoming signals, and a control circuit for controlling the transmit circuit and the receive circuit. The transmit circuit includes transmit attenuators for attenuating the outgoing signals as they pass through the transmit circuit, and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit for converting analog signals to digital signals. The receive circuit includes receive attenuators for attenuating the incoming signals as they pass through the receive circuit and a digital-to-analog conversion circuit for converting digital signals to analog signals. Each of the transmit attenuators and the receive attenuators is digitally adjustable by the control circuit. The control circuit receives sensed outgoing signals from the transmit circuit and sensed incoming signals from the receive circuit and effects a comparison of the sensed outgoing and incoming signals to determine whether the apparatus is transmitting or receiving. The control circuit digitally adjusts the transmit attenuators and the receive attenuators to distribute a predetermined maximum loss among incoming signals and outgoing signals appropriately to increase signal attenuation in the receive circuit and reduce signal attenuation in the transmit circuit when the apparatus is transmitting, and to increase signal attenuation in the transmit circuit and decrease signal attenuation in the receive circuit when the apparatus is receiving.

    摘要: A method for operating an apparatus for facilitating communications between an analog device and a digital device, which apparatus includes a plurality of signal processing circuits and a control circuit for controlling the signal processing circuits. Each of the signal processing circuits includes signal attenuators and signal burst discrimination circuitry. The apparatus is operable in a plurality of stable states, preferably in an idle stable state, a transmit stable state, and a receive stable state. The apparatus also is operable in a plurality of transitional states, including up-transition states and down-transition states. The method includes the steps of evaluating each of the signal processing circuits by the signal burst discrimination circuitry, responding to detection of a burst indicator by setting a state indicator to an appropriate up-transition state, incrementally adjusting the attenuators in the signal processing circuits to enhance performance of the apparatus until the attenuators are at predetermined settings, periodically checking for presence of the burst indicator, on detection of cessation of the burst indicator, setting the state indicator to an appropriate down-transition state, incrementally adjusting the attenuators to redistribute attenuation losses among the signal processing circuits, if no burst indicator is detected, continuing such redistribution until the apparatus returns to the idle stable state.

    摘要: In a direct sequence spread spectrum communication receiver, a system and method for recovering the timing of a pseudo-random noise (PN) sequence used for despreading the received signals. In one embodiment, the receiver performs a slow tracking to maintain the synchronization of the receiver's PN sequence with the received PN sequence. The slow tracking preferably includes one or more advancements or delays of the receiver's PN sequence if correlation measurements consistently indicate that the receiver's PN sequence lags or leads the received PN sequence. The slow tracking preferably also includes a long-term adjustment of the receiver's PN phase, distributed over a number of received frames, to compensate for any frequency offsets between the receiver's PN sequence and the received PN sequence. One embodiment of a system for performing the synchronization with the fast tracking includes an input for receiving a received spread-spectrum data stream, a receiver PN clock, and a slow-tracking logic. The slow-tracking logic temporarily advances and delays the receiver PN clock by a small shift and checks if either advancing or delaying consistently results in improved correlations. If so, the slow-tracking logic adjusts the receiver PN clock accordingly. The slow tracking logic preferably also includes a counter that maintains an integrated total of the adjustments to the receiver clock. The integrated total adjustment is used to determine the long-term adjustment.

    摘要: A phase detector using simple arithmetic operations to measure phase errors in the carrier-recovery mechanism for a DQPSK digital communications receiver. The carrier-recovery mechanism is a feedback loop that provides a synchronization between the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver of the communications system; the phase detector measures deviations from this synchronization and generates a phase-error signal used in the feedback loop to synchronize the oscillators. To perform this measurement, the phase detector takes the received signal as input and compares it against a local oscillator in the receiver to generate two digital signals: the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components of the received signal. These signals are the input to a logic unit, which uses these two signals to determine the phase-error signal. In one embodiment of the phase detector, the logic unit analyzes the signs of the two digital signals and then accordingly adds or subtracts the I and Q signals to generate the phase-error signal. In another embodiment, the logic unit determines the magnitude of the phase-error signal by finding the difference in magnitudes of the two digital signals and constructing a phase-error signal proportional to this difference. The logic unit then determines the sign of the phase-error signal by analyzing the signs of the I and Q digital signals. The logic unit thus uses simple arithmetic operations to generate the phase-error signal, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the phase detector.
