摘要:
A multi-mode radio receiver divides the radio frequency input into two channels and in each channel mixes it with the carrier wave frequency. A quadrature shift in the mixing carrier wave frequencies enables base band signals to be filtered from the mixer outputs. The analogue quadrature signals are converted to digital form and processed digitally to reproduce the original modulating signal for am, fm or pm transmissions. For ssb modulation the mixing frequency is the side band centre frequency instead of carrier frequency.

A receiver (54) comprising an input for receiving an RF signal (Figure 7) centered at a first frequency and having a bandwidth. The receiver also comprises a first mixer (62) for producing a first output signal. The first output signal results from mixing the RF signal with a signal having an energy spreading portion (p(t)) and a down-converting portion (c(t)). Moreover, this first output signal comprises a self-mixing DC signal (c(t)p(t) self-mixing DC component) and a down-converted and energy spread RF signal (Figure 11) . The receiver further comprises a second mixer (70) for producing a second output signal by mixing a signal responsive to the first output signal with the energy spreading portion of the signal. The second output signal comprises two signals, namely: (1) a baseband signal (down-converted RFA I ) responsive to the down-converted and energy spread RF signal; and (2) a portion of the spread DC signal (spread DC).
摘要:
An amplitude-modulated carrier signal is demodulated by passage through an limiting amplifier that converts the amplitude-modulated carrier signal to a signal of constant amplitude, and also produces a received signal strength indicator signal. The received signal strength indicator signal is used as the demodulated signal.
摘要:
Digital demodulator processing (Fig. 5) is accomplished for the reception of burst transmission (401) without preamble overhead (Fig. 3b) for synchronization acquisition. It is assumed that the modulation technique is either binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) (250) or quarternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) (250). The required synchronization (506), filtering (504, 505) and detection (512) functions for the demodulator are performed sequentially by repeated digital processing of stored complex baseband samples (501) of the received transmission burst (401).
摘要:
A carrier detector which is capable of performing high-accuracy carrier detection even with patterns other than a CR pattern by processing signals on the frequency axis, regardless of the existence of the residual frequency due to the quasi-coherent detection. The carrier detector converts a received signal having been subject to the quasi-coherent detection, A/D conversion, filtering for eliminating noises and expressed on the time axis into that expressed on the frequency axis by the time axis/frequency axis converting circuit. An accumulator 2 accumulatively adds the signals expressed on the frequency axis, and a decision section compares the accumulated value output from the accumulator to a predetermined threshold to detect the coming of the burst so as to detect the carrier.
摘要:
An amplifier/detector chain logarithmically amplifies an input signal as well as compensates for delays generated by necessary bandwidth restrictions. A plurality of amplifiers are connected in series and grouped in amplifier stages with each stage having at least one amplifier. In between each amplifier stage is a filter which restricts the bandwidth of signals to frequencies in a desired signal range. When an amplifier stage includes more than one amplifier, a local summer sums the outputs detected by detectors associated with each amplifier in a particular stage. When an amplifier stage includes only a single amplifier associated detector, the local sum signal for the stage is simply the detector output. No local summer is required. Because of the time delay introduced by each interposed filter, each local sum is input to a corresponding compensating device which compensates for the associated time delay. Each compensating device stores its corresponding local sum until the local sum from the final stage is ready to be output. When all of the local summer outputs have been time-aligned or brought in phase, the local sums are connected from their corresponding compensating devices to a central summer stage. The output of the central summer represents the instantaneous output of the logarithmically amplified input signal.
