摘要:
An acknowledgment paging system is described which fits within the existing infrastructure of a paging network and which provides low cost manufacture and low power operation while still enabling the acknowledgment paging over long distances. The acknowledgment paging system consists of a standard paging transmitter and a plurality of remote paging units which respond to a page using frequency-hopped spread-spectrum differential bi-phase shift keying communications. The plurality of pagers are assigned to groups with each group being assigned a separate starting location in a common, repeating pseudo-random noise code which determines the frequency hops. The grouping of pagers minimizes the collisions of acknowledgment transmissions between groups and the enables a large number of paging units to operate within a single geographic area.

Disclosed is a method enabling the generation, by means of voice frequencies, of a sequence of several characters and the high-speed transmission of these characters. This method comprises the step of the elimination, during transmission, of the blanks between two successive characters when these characters are distinct or are encoded distinctly.

A global positioning system (GPS) receiver and a method having a fast time to first fix (TTFF) using GPS signal Doppler frequency shifts for correcting the local clock time and using information for an expected GPS message for synchronizing the corrected local clock time to GPS time. The GPS receiver includes radio frequency (RF) circuitry for receiving and downconverting a spread spectrum GPS satellite signal, a correlator for despreading the downconverted GPS signal and providing a GPS bit stream, a clock for providing a local time, and a processor including an executable code. The executable code includes a Doppler correction code for improving the accuracy of the local time by comparing a measured and a calculated Doppler frequency shift for the GPS satellite signal from three or more GPS satellites, and a GPS synchronization code for synchronizing the local time so that the timing of a replica bit stream based upon information for an expected GPS message matches the timing a GPS bit stream received in the GPS satellite signal.

An electronic data transmission system has a low peak-to-average power ratio by including a transmitter circuit which receives an input signal and in response generates a distorted output signal. This distorted output signal is generated by amplifying the input signal with one particular gain when the input signal is at a maximum magnitude which gives the distorted output signal a corresponding maximum magnitude, and by amplifying the input signal with a larger gain when the input signal is in a predetermined range below the maximum magnitude. The distorted output signal travels over a communication channel to a receiver circuit, which regenerates the input signal by amplifying the distorted output signal with a gain that is the inverse of the gain by which the distorted signal is generated.

The present invention aims to present a data reproducing apparatus for a spread spectrum signal which can synchronize quickly and accurately, using a low cost phase lock loop circuit, in spread spectrum communication. To achieve the object, a peak timing is detected from the output of a correlation circuit for despreading, the output of a correlation circuit exceeding a designated level during a bit rate period near which center the peak timing is put is integrated and data is reproduced according to the polarity of the integrated output signal. Thus, the influence of multi-path fading is reduced, synchronization is not needed in a spread band and TDD synchronization can be held quickly.

Sampled signals SPS of a spread-spectrum received signal are fed to matched filters 12.sub.1, to 12.sub.4, wherein they are despread. A spreading code of a desired signal is used as a despreading code in the matched filter 12.sub.1, and a plurality of spreading codes which are orthogonal to the spreading code of the desired signal and orthogonal to one another are used for despreading in the matched filters 12.sub.2 to 12.sub.4. Outputs x.sub.1 to x.sub.4 from the filters 12.sub.1 to 12.sub.4 are multipled by weighting coefficients w.sub.1 to w.sub.4 ; the multiplied outputs are linearly combined into a combined signal DCS. A coefficient control part 37 is supplied with the signals x.sub.1 to X.sub.4 to be multiplied by the weighting coefficients w.sub.1 to w.sub.4 and the combined signal DCS and determines the weighting coefficients w.sub.1 to w.sub.4 by an algorithm that minimizes the average power of the combined signal DCS under a constraint on the weighting coefficients w.sub.1 to w.sub.4.

A communication and/or measurement system includes in a a transmitter an analog feedback system that modulates a pseudo-random noise signal with a message signal to produce a wideband signal for transmission. A receiver, which demodulates the wideband signal to recover the message signal, includes an associated analog feedback system that reproduces the noise signal based on the received signal. The analog feedback systems (AFS) are continuous-time generalizations of a linear feedback shift register ("LFSR"). The AFS are characterized by a function that agrees with the function that characterizes the LFSR, at the points at which that function is defined. Further, the AFS characterizing function has stable periodic orbits at these values, and the stable periodic orbits are attractors. The AFS thus produces a signal that relaxes on to a nearest periodic orbit that generalizes to continuous time the maximal sequence produced by the corresponding LFSR. The AFS in the transmitter, which operates in accordance with a harmonic oscillator, is characterized by the following differential equation: ##EQU1## where the .alpha..sub.i 's are the coefficients of the maximum length polynomial used to produce the maximal sequence. The AFS in the receiver is characterized by the following differential equation: ##EQU2##

A novel code division multiple access (CDMA) system and apparatus is provided which permits a plurality of encoded modulated data messages to be transmitted simultaneously on the same channel in one frequency band as a composite CDMA signal. An identification signal is generated and spread by a spreading signal having a duty cycle less than fifty percent to produce a combined signal which is transmitted to a receiver having a tapped delay with a plurality of taps each of which produce a replica of the received combined signal delayed by an odd multiple of the duty cycle of the spreading signal. Each of the replica signals is multiplied by a predetermined weighted value to produce weighted delayed signals and a controller responsive to the received combined signal, is employed for controlling individual weighted delayed signals which are then combined to suppress the spreading signal leaving the identification signal.
摘要:
A spread spectrum communication system for direct sequence transmission of digital information having a modulation format which is particularly suitable for indoor communication within residential, office and industrial structures. The modulation format combines BPSK or MSK spreading with FM carrier modulation by data bits and a carrier frequency shift whose magnitude is related to both a chip rate and a spreading sequence length. The carrier, chip clock and data clock are all synchronous and the sequence length is an integral submultiple of the bit length. The system reduces the frequency error between the transmitter chip clock and the receiver chip clock to permit the elimination of a code phase tracking loop in the receiver to reduce the receiver complexity. The receiver has an extended dynamic range which makes possible the reception of very strong signal without an automatic gain control loop (AGC) as well as reducing the time needed for code phase acquisition. The transmission system is highly resistant to CW jamming and short distance multipath effects.
