    摘要: A carrier-recovery loop for compensating frequency pulling in TDD and TDMA radio transceivers. The digital carrier-recovery loop includes a signal input, a digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO), a phase detector, a loop filter, and a memory. The memory stores an initializing value for the DCO, so that its frequency can be rapidly initialized at the start of a received frame. This initializing value is preferably either a sample of a control signal for the DCO, or a sample of the integrated value of a phase-error signal generated by the phase detector. Also described is a method for compensating the frequency pulling in a TDD or TDMA radio transceiver. The transceiver preferably receives data frames that have a preamble followed by a payload portion that holds the transmitted data. The method includes steps of (a) performing a carrier recovery during the preamble of a received frame, (b) storing a digital word indicative of a recovered carrier frequency at the end of the preamble, (c) continuing the carrier recovery during the payload portion of the received frame, (d) using the stored digital word to set an initial frequency for carrier recovery at the start of a subsequent frame, and (e) repeating said steps (a)-(d) for each frame in the series of data frames.

    摘要: A digital loop filter in the carrier-recovery loop of a digital communications receiver. The recovery loop is a PLL that keeps the receiver oscillator locked to the carrier wave, and the loop filter provides control over the PLL's frequency response by conditioning an error signal that is fed back to the receiver oscillator. In the present invention, the error signal is a digital signal, and the loop filter is implemented in digital hardware. With this implementation the characteristics of the loop filter are determined by logic design rather than by physical features of analog components, thereby giving this filter a more precise function than one with analog integrators. This implementation is also immune to the low tolerances typical of the manufacturing process for analog devices (especially on monolithic circuits), and is more easily adjusted than its analog counterparts. Two gain coefficients characterize the loop filter in the present invention. These gain coefficients are chosen to be powers of two, simplifying the process of multiplying them with the digital error signal. The gain coefficients are read from a memory, making the loop filter easily programmable. By changing the gain coefficients during operation of the receiver, the carrier-recovery loop can be placed in one of the several operating modes, including acquisition, tracking, and hold. The receiver can be configured with the appropriate values of the gain coefficients for each operating mode during the initial assembly and during subsequent reconfigurations.

    摘要: In a digital communication system for voice signals, a system and method for improving the quality of a received signal. The invention comprises a system for arranging the data and parity bits in a data frame and a corresponding method for analyzing and using the received frames. In the present invention, the data are conveyed in short independent segments, such as one or a few ADPCM nibbles. The length of each segment is chosen to be short enough that the loss of one segment of data from the received signal does not significantly degrade the quality of the output analog signal. The transmitter generates a parity bit for each of these segments and composes transmit frames by alternating data segments with their corresponding parity bits. The receiver then receives each data segment along with its corresponding parity bit. This arrangement allows the receiver to identify specific received segments that contain errors, and minimizes the receiver's delay between receiving the segment and determining if contains an error. The invention also comprises a system and method for detecting such an erroneous segment and blanking it. If a received frame contains more than a threshold number of erroneous segments, then the remaining segments of the frame can be muted. Subsequent frames can then also be muted until one of the subsequent frames contains fewer than a second threshold number of errors.

    摘要: A time division multiplexed communications system is disclosed. The system includes multiple transceiver pairs. Each of the transceiver pairs operates according to its own timer. The transceiver pairs each include circuitry that synchronizes the respective timers to a common frequency signal supplied to each of the transceiver pairs. By so synchronizing the timer of each transceiver pair to a common frequency signal, transmissions of all the transceiver pairs in the system are synchronized. Synchronization of transmissions can reduce noise and interference between neighboring transceiver pairs.
