20100008405 | Reconfigurable Signal Processing Scheme - A method of ameliorating channel effects present in a signal received through a channel, wherein the signal conveys at least first and second information streams and the method comprises the steps of determining from the first stream activation of the second stream and processing the signal to ameliorate channel effects, when the second stream is present, in a first manner comprising filtering the signal through filter means to ameliorate channel dispersion and then processing the signal through Rake receiver means or, when the second stream is absent, in a second manner comprising processing the signal through the Rake receiver means without prior amelioration of channel dispersion by the filter means. | 01-14-2010 |
20120114020 | DE-SPREADING METHOD FOR NONCOHERENT RECEIVER AND RECEIVER APPLYING THE SAME - The present invention is directed to a de-spreading method for a noncoherent receiver including: obtaining an output signal from a matched filter of a noncoherent receiver, which is PSK modulated and is at least two times upsampled; performing a noncoherent demodulation step including performing a differential operation on an in-phase and quadrature-phase components of the output signal of the matched filter to obtain a demodulated signal; and performing a de-spreading step on the demodulated signal with a PN table corresponding to the demodulated signal to obtain the de-spreaded data, wherein the PN table corresponding to the demodulated data contains chips which are either logic 1 or logic −1. A noncoherent receiver is also provided. | 05-10-2012 |
20130121382 | SPREAD-CARRIER SELF-DETECTING CODE RECEIVER WITH SUMMED DELAY PROCESSING AND METHODS FOR SIGNAL ACQUISTION AND DETECTION - Embodiments of a spread-earner self-detecting code (SCSDC) receiver with summed-delay processing (SDP) and method are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the SCSDC-SDP receiver is arranged to generate a chip-matched filter output from a received spread-spectrum signal and perform SDP on the chip-matched filter output with a plurality of delay-processing chains. The SDP may include multiplying a conjugated and delayed chip-matched filter output with the chip-matched filter output and applying a code-matched filter that is matched to a delay-multiplied code. The outputs from the code-matched filters of each delay-processing chain may be coherently combined to provide an output having correlation peaks for use generating frequency error and timing information. | 05-16-2013 |
20130128930 | CONTINUOUS TIME CHAOS DITHERING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for further reducing cyclostationarity and correspondingly energy density in a chaotic spread spectrum data communication channel, by digitally generating a first chaotic sequence of values to form a spreading code. The spreading code is then used to form a digital IF spread spectrum signal having a uniform sampling interval. The digital IF spread spectrum signal is converted to a sampled analog IF spread spectrum signal at a conversion rate substantially equal to the uniform sampling interval. The duration of the sampling interval is then selectively varied in accordance with a first pseudo-random sequence, thereby introducing a known dither in the analog IF spread spectrum signal. After introducing the known dither, the analog IF spread spectrum signal is upconverted to an analog RF spread spectrum signal. The first pseudo-random sequences may be designed to be a chaotic sequence. | 05-23-2013 |
20140241403 | Method, Apparatus, Receiver, Computer Program and Storage Medium for Joint Detection - A method for performing joint detection includes adjusting a ranking order of codes in a matched filtering result, and a ranking order of column vectors in a system submatrix according to the power. The joint detection is performed using an adjusted matched filtering result and an adjusted system submatrix, and acquires demodulated signals corresponding to the codes. The codes that have high power will be demodulated first. This ensures accuracy of demodulation, inhibits erroneous propagation effect, and improves accuracy of the joint detection. | 08-28-2014 |
20140269851 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR IMPROVING SIGNAL DETECTION IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - Systems, devices, and methods to improve signal detection of a receiver in communication systems, including receiving a signal having one or more distorted versions of a predetermined waveform as well as processing the received signal with a plurality of eigenfilters generated from eigenvectors of a covariance matrix of the predetermined waveform. Further a correlation output is generated by further processing the received signal with at least one matched filter formed from an eigenfiltered version of the predetermined waveform and identifying at least one peak in the correlator output. The peak may be used to improve performance of the receiver. | 09-18-2014 |
