摘要:
A matched filter for use in a radio telephone receiver that receives Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signals. The matched filter produces precombinations of input values to significantly reduce the number of multiplication and addition operations, compared to conventional matched filters, required to produce a correlation value. This reduced number of required operations, along with a reduced number of delay elements required to despread CDMA signals, significantly reduces the overall power consumption of the matched filter. The use of such a matched filter in a device like a cellular phone, for example, would thus lead to longer battery life.
摘要:
Methods of recovering information encoded in a spread spectrum signal transmitted according to a spreading sequence in a communications medium are provided in which a spread spectrum signal is received from the communications medium and correlated with a spreading sequence to produce a plurality of time-offset correlations. Some of these time-offset correlations may be designed to cancel out known interfering signals. A subset of the plurality of time-offsets may then be selected, and corresponding traffic correlations may then be combined using a weighted combination to estimate information encoded in the transmitted spread spectrum signal. Receivers for implementing these methods are also provided.
