摘要:
Frequency and timing estimating units (57,58) measure frequency and timing offsets, respectively, from a signal received from a mobile station via a control channel. When a new radio connection to the mobile station is effected by setting upper an antenna directivity thereto, a weight calculating unit (53) uses the measured frequency and timing offsets to correct signals received via a communication channel. The signal from the mobile station is accurately separated from the corrected received signals.

The present invention relates to circuitry for a receiver having a low cost filter using automatic alignment of the center frequency of signals input to the filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals from the filter output over a narrow bandwidth. An RF input signal to the receiver is downconverted to an IF frequency using a VCO, and the IF signal is provided to the low cost filter. The output of the filter is input to a frequency correction circuit and a distortion detection circuit. The distortion detection circuit provides an error signal including positive frequency shift errors determined from digital ones identified from the filter output signal, and negative frequency shift error signals determined from digital zeros in the filter output signal. The distortion detection circuit output is then provided through an infinite impulse response filter which integrates the distortion detection output to provide a voltage control signal to a voltage control input of the VCO and the frequency correction circuit. The VCO then automatically centers the frequency of the signal input to the low cost filter to suppress noise and out-of-band signals, and the frequency correction circuit removes error correction frequency shift provided by the VCO after downconversion. For battery powered devices, the infinite impulse response filter can maintain the state of the voltage control signal provided to the VCO upon receipt of a sleep mode signal after the sleep mode signal is disabled.\!

A method and apparatus are provided for use in a transceiver of a wireless system that enable analog mode operations to be performed using in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) values. When operating in the analog mode, the apparatus comprises a processor that receives digital I, Q pairs relating to audio or data signals and performs FM demodulation to generate information content relating to the audio or data signals. When receiving data in the analog mode, the data is in a particular format. In order to decode the data, the processor looks at each bit of the data for five repeats of Radio Link Words (RLWs) and generates and stores a confidence factor associated with each bit. The confidence factor is based on how closely the waveform represents a 1 or a 0 as well as the signal strength. If the waveform has relatively little noise and if the RF signal strength is relatively high, the processor assigns more weight to its determination as to whether the waveform represents a 1 or a 0. Once this process has been performed for each repeat of the current RLW, the processor takes the sum of the confidence factors associated with each bit and compares the sum to a threshold level to determine whether the bit is a 1 or a 0. A signaling tone detection routine is utilized to distinguish between when data is being received and when signaling tone is being received.

A digital information receiver (100) having a single oscillator (118) providing a clock signal to the receiver circuitry. The receiver (100) contains, in addition to the oscillator (118), an input signal processor (102), a symbol time loop, a demodulator (106), a transport decoder (108), a transport timing loop, one or more applications decoders (102) and a presentation device (116). The input signal processor (102) digitizes an input signal and resamples the input signal using an interpolator (204) such that the input signal is optimally sampled. The resampling is controlled by a symbol timing loop. In a first embodiment, the transport timing loop controls the frequency of the oscillator (118) using transmitter timing information contained in the received signal. In the second embodiment, the oscillator (1202) is a free running oscillator and the transport timing loop controls a numerically controlled counter (1002) that, in turn, controls presentation timing of the information carried by the information in the input signal. After the input signal is decoded, an output interpolator (1204) generates continuous signals from somewhat bursty signals for utilization by the presentation device.
摘要:
In an FSK demodulator, the received, modulated signal (A) is divided between two paths. In one path, the signal (A) undergoes non-linear amplification (11, 15), providing an amplitude limited output (C). In the other path, the signal (A) also undergoes non-linear amplification (10, 13), but, in addition, is subjected to a phase shift (12). The phase shift is positive at the frequency representing binary ones, and negative at the frequency representing binary zeros (or vice versa). Thus, the signal (B) from this second branch, is a phase shifted version of the signal (C) from the first. A phase detector (14), comprising a D type flip flop, provides the demodulated output.

A circuit (10) for determining a radius value and a phase value from an in-phase signal I(n) and a quadrature signal Q(n) iteratively approximates the phase value and the radius value based upon initial in-phase signal and quadrature signal preferably using the CORDIC algorithm. The circuit (10) includes a multi-task arithmetic unit (50), memory (20), and a controller (30). The multi-task arithmetic unit includes registers (12, 14, 16), multiplexers (18, 22), shift registers (24, 25), and an adder (26) to perform various arithmetic operations. The circuit (10) further includes dynamic memory (32) for storing the solutions at different points in time of the radius value and phase value, which are subsequently used in the filtering of radius values and phase values.
摘要:
An object of the invention in to provide a low-cost FSK receiver which self-calibrates itself such that demodulation of the FSK data stream is performed significantly are reliably with the least amount of additional cost and components. The reference setting for the comparator in the demodulator, which distinguishes between two different D.C. levels to yield either a high or low bit, is derived from the same oscillator that is used to generate the exciter signal. In addition, the generated reference setting signal is subjected to the same FSK signal processing chain as the IF frequencies described above, in order to provide a DC reference equivalent to the mid-FSK frequency. This results in a drift-free and stable reference input to the comparator which levels itself for integration, not requiring any level adjustment or trimming and adjusts for aging and drift.
