    摘要: A demodulator for demodulating a set of S possible orthogonal modulation codes received serially as binary data, wherein each of the orthogonal modulation codes comprises M binary bits representing an N-bit data symbol and wherein M=2N. The demodulator comprises: 1) a Logic 0 input detector for comparing each of the M binary bits of the serially received orthogonal modulation codes to a Logic 0 and outputting a +1 signal if a match occurs and outputting a −1 signal if a match does not occur; 2) a summation circuit comprising S accumulators; 3) a Logic 0 switch array comprising S switches, wherein a Kth one of the S switches in the Logic 0 switch array couples an output of the Logic 0 input detector to a first input of a Kth one of the S accumulators; 4) a storage array for storing the S orthogonal modulation codes; and 5) control circuitry for synchronously applying the M bits in a Kth one of the S orthogonal modulation codes in the storage array as a switch control signal to the Kth switch in the Logic 0 switch array so that each Logic 0 binary data in the Kth orthogonal modulation code closes the Kth switch in the Logic 0 switch array, thereby connecting the output signal of the Logic 0 input detector to the first input of the Kth accumulator.

    摘要: A CDMA receiver for detecting a pilot channel signal having a known pseudo-random noise (PN) chip sequence, the known PN chip sequence comprising a plurality of known Logic 1 chips and a plurality of known Logic 0 chips. The CDMA receiver comprises: 1) a memory for storing the pilot channel signal as a first original sequence of chip samples; 2) a pseudo-signal generator for re-ordering selected ones of the first original sequence of chip samples to thereby generate a first re-ordered sequence of chip samples, wherein the pseudo-signal generator combines the original sequence of chip samples with the first re-ordered sequence of chip samples to thereby generate a first pseudo-signal sequence of combined chip samples; 3) a first matched filter for computing a first correlation value indicating a relative correlation between the first pseudo-signal sequence of combined chip samples and the known PN chip sequence; and 4) a decision circuit for determining from the first correlation value if the pilot channel signal has been detected.

    摘要: A CDMA transmitter that limits the peak-to-average ratio to a selected maximum level. The CDMA transmitter comprises: 1) a first baseband combiner for receiving N baseband chip streams, each of the N baseband chip streams comprising a sequence of chips, each chip having one of a positive amplitude value and a negative amplitude value, wherein the first baseband combiner combines chips from corresponding time slots in each of the N baseband chip streams to thereby generate a first composite baseband chip sequence; 2) a data processor for detecting a first peak amplitude in the first composite baseband chip sequence that exceeds a pre-determined maximum threshold and determining an amplitude and a polarity of a first compensation pulse associated with the first peak amplitude; and 3) a pulse generator for generating the first compensation pulse having the amplitude and the polarity determined by the data processor. The first baseband combiner then combines the first compensation pulse with the first composite baseband chip sequence during a chip time slot corresponding to the first peak amplitude.

    摘要: A vehicle identification system for identifying motor vehicles in a group of vehicles at distances in excess of 200 feet is disclosed. The system includes an interrogator for directionally broadcasting an interrogation signal toward a vehicle of interest and a set of vehicle identification tags attached to the vehicles for receiving interrogation signals and sending a response signal to the interrogator. The response signal consists of information from the memory in the vehicle identification tag which allows the interrogator to identify the ownership or registration of the vehicle. Preferably, the tags have at least two memory portions with one portion being more secure than the other. Information useful to law enforcement agencies may be stored in the more secure memory portion and information for public or commercial use, such as parking access codes and toll information may be stored in the less secure memory portion. The system can link to an external database to verify and obtain more information regarding the owner of the vehicle, such as name, address, and record of traffic violations. Each tag on the vehicle also communicates with the other tags in the tag set on a vehicle, and, if the tags within a set are separated beyond a preset distance or otherwise subjected to tampering, the tags will transmit an alarm to any nearby interrogator.
