    摘要: This invention teaches a method, and circuits that operate in accordance with the method, for decoding data received from a communications channel. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving a modulated communications signal that conveys block encoded data having at least a data field and a syndrome data field; and (b) determining transition metrics and path metrics for the block encoded data. The step of determining path metrics includes a step of retaining path metrics only for a Maximum-Likelihood (ML) path and for a second best ML path. The method further includes a step of: (c) decoding the block encoded data by performing either a full or a partial traceback operation for both the ML path metrics and also for the second best ML path metrics. In a full traceback there is obtained from the ML path a first plurality of detected bits representing the data field, a second plurality of detected bits from the ML path representing the syndrome data field, a third plurality of detected bits from the second best ML path representing the data field, and a fourth plurality of detected bits from the second best ML path representing the syndrome data field. A next step (d) determines a syndrome from the first plurality of detected bits, and then compares the determined syndrome to the second plurality of detected bits. Upon a match a next step (e) outputs the first plurality of detected bits as a received frame of data. If the step of comparing the determined syndrome to the second plurality of detected bits does not indicate a match, the method instead: (f) determines a syndrome from the third plurality of detected bits; (g) compares the determined syndrome to the fourth plurality of detected bits and, upon a match, (h) outputs the third plurality of detected bits as a received frame of data.

    摘要: In the front end of a CDMA cellular or broadband PCS mobile phone receiver, a switched bypass connection is provided to bypass the low noise amplifier, sending the received signal through an amplifier bypass connection. The amplifier bypass connection may include an attenuator. The switched bypass is activated by a control signal generated by a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor analyzes the received signal to detect and determine the relative contribution of the IMD interference to the total received signal power and, when the IMD interference exceeds a predetermined level, sends a control signal to bypass the low noise amplifier. Identification of the presence of IMD interference is by spectral estimation to discern when the mobile phone is in the presence of large near-band signals from an AMPS or other narrow-band base station which causes in- band IMD. In a preferred embodiment, the spectral estimation is performed by collecting a series of data samples from the received signal and, using a digital signal processor (DSP), computing a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to generate frequency domain data, passing the data through a filter bank, then using a decision algorithm to determine whether or not there is sufficient IMD present in the received signal to bypass the LNA. If the IMD level is high enough to warrant bypass of the LNA, the DSP will provide a signal to an automatic gain control (AGC) block for controlling a variable gain amplifier (VGA) to compensate for gain loss due to bypass of the LNA.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and a device in which two or more fingers of a RAKE receiver can locked to a multipath received signal in a situation of fat finger impulse response. One embodiment of the present invention assigns two RAKE fingers to an impulse response so that one finger is tracking the impulse response with Early-Ontime DLL method and the other finger is tracking the impulse response with Ontime-Late DLL method. The method comprises detecting the delay between the received signal and its delayed version, comparing the delay with a pre-determined threshold and in the case when the delay falls below the threshold, changing the tracking method of the delayed version of the received signal to a second tracking method.
