    摘要: A delay diversity processor for use in receiving direct sequence spread spectrum data utilizes multipath signals to enhance bit synchronization performance by integrating the magnitude of each multipath signal to allow for erratic fluctuations in the multipath signal. As a result, the receiver is less prone to sudden signal strength variation that might trigger erroneous bit resynchronization. The delay diversity processor comprises a first circuit which determines a magnitude value for each of a plurality of correlated signal samples of individual data bits of plural data streams of the received spread spectrum data. A second circuit integrates each of the magnitude values over a period of time corresponding to receipt of a plurality of the individual data bits. The integrated magnitude values provide a measure of confidence of a particular one of the correlated signal samples with respect to remaining ones of the correlated signal samples. The correlated signal sample having the most consistently high measure of confidence is thus most likely to contain reliable and valid data. In an embodiment of the delay diversity processor, the digital delay circuit of the second circuit provides for resetting of the integrated magnitude values within following interruption of receipt of the spread spectrum data. The data values within the digital delay circuit can be reset either to zero, or to a predetermined value. The use of a predetermined value improves the ability of the delay diversity processor to generate valid data following an interruption of the spread spectrum data.

    摘要: An apparatus for combining signals includes RAKE receivers 10, 20, noise-power measuring apparatuses 30, 40, and a branch combiner 50. The RAKE receivers 10, 20 are the same in number as the antenna branches, and each RAKE receiver combines received signals by using a weight based on an amplitude of each received signal. Each of the noise-power measuring apparatus 30, 40 measures a sum of an interference power and a background-noise power in an output signal from each RAKE receiver. The branch combiner 50 multiplies the output signal from each RAKE receiver by an inverse of the sum measured by the noise-power measuring apparatus, and then adds up the value obtained by each multiplication.

    摘要: Variable spreading factors and multi-code transmissions are flexibly accommodated by assigning spreading codes in accordance with the described techniques. Spreading codes are assigned so that the control channel is orthogonal to all physical channels in the composite spread spectrum signal. Power balance between in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) branches in the transmitter is also provided by assigning physical channels to appropriate branches and splitting physical channels, where necessary.

    摘要: A radiolocation system for multipath environments, such as for tracking objects in a semiconductor fabrication facility (FIGS. 1a-1b), includes an array of receivers (20) distributed within the tracking area, coupled to a system processor (40) over a LAN. A TAG transmitter (30) located with each object transmits, at selected intervals, spread spectrum TAG transmissions including at least a unique TAG ID. In a high resolution embodiment, object location is accomplished by time-of-arrival (TOA) differentiation, with each receiver (FIG. 2b) including a TOA trigger circuit (64) for triggering on arrival of a TAG transmission, and a time base latching circuit (65) for latching the TOA count from an 800 MHz time base counter. In a low resolution embodiment, each receiver of the array is assigned a specific location-area, and receives TAG transmissions almost exclusively from TAGs located in that area, thereby eliminating the need for any time-of-arrival circuitry.

    摘要: A current mode of operation is provided to a Walsh spreader (203), and based on the current mode of operation, the Walsh spreader (203) either varies a Walsh code at a symbol rate, or holds the Walsh code constant. During multi-carrier transmission a first symbol within a data stream (210) is spread with a first Walsh code, while symbols immediately preceding and following the first symbol are spread by a another, differing Walsh code. The sequence of Walsh codes exiting the spreader (201) is further scrambled by a pair of Pseudo-Noise (PN) codes (224) that are held constant for three Walsh code periods during multi-carrier transmission, and are not held constant during direct-spread transmission.

    摘要: A system for transporting radio frequency (RF) signals across a RF network comprises a central transport unit and a remote transport unit. The frequencies of at least some of the RF signals to be transported hop in accordance with predetermined hopping sequences. The central transport unit uses the hopping sequences to convert the hopping frequencies into fixed frequencies for efficient transport through the RF network. The remote transport unit uses the hopping sequences to convert the fixed frequencies back to the original hopping frequencies. The transport system is also capable of reverse operation in the direction from the remote transport unit to the central transport unit.

    摘要: A code acquisition circuit for acquiring code synchronization between an n-chip spreading code of a received spread spectrum radio signal and an n-chip local reference code generated by a code generator within a receiver, includes a variable delay means which operates to introduce a delay shift into the said received radio signal. A correlator operates to correlate n-chips of the local reference code with n-samples of the received signal communicated thereto, and generates a correlation signal representative of a result of the correlation. A code acquisition controller operates in combination with the correlation signal to maintain the delay shift for at least one correlation and thereafter to change the delay shift, wherein the delay shift is a fraction of one chip period.

    摘要: A system and method for encoding and transmitting data with a spread-spectrum packet-switched system. Data to be transmitted by a packet transmitter are encoded for privacy and to restrict intelligent receipt of the data to the intended recipient. The encoded data is demultiplexed into sub-data-sequence signals which are spread-spectrum processed and then combined as a multichannel spread-spectrum signal. The multichannel spread-spectrum signal is concatenated with a header to output a packet-spread-spectrum signal which is transmitted over radio waves to a packet receiver. The packet receiver obtains timing for the multichannel spread-spectrum signal from the header. The multichannel spread-spectrum signal is then despread and multiplexed as received-encoded data. The received-encoded data is decoded by the intended recipient and is stored in a receiver memory for output.

    摘要: A mobile radio apparatus includes a base station and a mobile station which communicate with each other by a hybrid code division multiple access scheme. The base station selects a hopping pattern in a frequency hopping method so as to completely avoid overlapping of a carrier for a forward link signal with a carrier for a reverse link signal at the same time, and transmits the forward link signal in a predetermined frequency band. The mobile station similarly transmits the reverse link signal. The mobile station has a multiplier for multiplying the forward link signal by a carrier at the same frequency as the carrier for the forward link signal to derive a received signal, a communication channel correlator for detecting a correlation of the received signal to separate a communication channel signal, a received power level detector circuit for detecting a received power level of the communication channel signal, and a transmission power level control signal for controlling a transmission power level of the reverse link signal, when transmitted to the base station, based on the received power level of the communication channel signal, using a carrier at the same frequency as the carrier for the forward link signal when the received power level of the communication channel signal is detected.
