    摘要: The present invention provides a search window delay tracking procedure for use in a multipath search processor of a CDMA radio receiver. A channel impulse response is estimated for a received signal containing plural paths, each path having a corresponding path delay. A search window defines a delay profile that contains the plural paths of the received signal. A mean or average delay is calculated for the estimated channel impulse response (CIR), and an error is determined between the mean CIR delay and a desired delay position corresponding to the center of the CIR search window. An adjustment is made to reduce that error so that the center of the search window and the mean CIR delay are aligned. The error may be processed either linearly (in one embodiment) or non-linearly (in another embodiment) to minimize the error and to reduce an influence of noise. A non-linear filtering process includes calculating a delay spread from the mean CIR delay calculated for successive processing cycles of a window delay tracking procedure corresponding to each new input. A difference is determined between the successive delay spreads. Adjustment signal is set equal to the error signal if the difference is less than or equal to a threshold. Alternatively, the adjustment signal is set to zero if the difference is greater than the threshold. Consequently, if the delay spread in the current iteration is significantly different from the delay spread in the previous iteration, the new error sample calculated in the current iteration is considered unreliable, and no adjustment is made.

    摘要: A CDMA receiver includes a plurality of RAKE branches for despreading the received CDMA signals over a corresponding plurality of paths and a single tracking device that is shared among the plurality of the RAKE branches for tracking the delays of the received CDMA signal over a corresponding path. Similarly, a method for tracking a CDMA signal correlates the received signal with local PN code using a plurality of RAKE branches and tracks the received signal using a single tracking device that is shared among the plurality of the RAKE branches.
