The bandpass sampling receiver includes: an analog-digital converter converting an analog wireless signal into a digital baseband signal; and a complex baseband signal extraction unit generating a first path signal and a second path signal from the digital baseband signal and extracting a complex baseband signal using a relative sample delay difference between the first and second path signals, wherein the first path signal is a down sampled signal after the digital baseband signal is sample-delayed and the second path signal is a down sampled signal without sample-delaying the digital baseband signal.
Abstract:
A method and a satellite gateway for minimizing an impact of a noise floor variation in a spot beam satellite system. A demodulator processes digitized signals from multiple channels. Digitized signals are automatically gain controlled by respective automatic gain control components associated with respective channels. Automatic gain controlled digitized signals are downconverted and provided to a burst processor. The burst processor processes each downconverted signal and provides, with respect to each downconverted signal, an automatic gain control estimate, a code rate, and an inroute number to a processor component. The processor component determines an average automatic gain control value for each inroute, provides automatic gain control references to the respective automatic gain control components, and periodically sends noise map information to satellite terminals served by the satellite gateway. In some embodiments, the automatic gain control values are biased according to corresponding code rates.

Abstract:
A butterfly channelizer includes at least two stages. Each stage includes at least one dual-channel module configured to convert an input time domain signal into a second time domain signal of lower bandwidth. At least one clock is configured to generate a clock signal that drives the at least two stages. A first stage has a first number of dual-channel modules and a second stage following the first stage has a second number of dual-channel modules greater than the first number.
Abstract:
A telecommunications system is provided that includes a unit for communicating channelized digital baseband signals with remotely located units. The channelized digital baseband signals include call information for wireless communication. The unit includes a channelizer section and a transport section. The channelizer section can extract, per channel, the channelized digital baseband signals using channel filters and digital down-converters. The transport section can format the channelized digital baseband signals for transport together using a transport schedule unit for packetizing and packet scheduling the channelized digital baseband signals. A signal processing subsystem can control a gain of uplink digital baseband signals, independently, that are received from the remotely located units prior to summing the uplink digital baseband signals.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit combines two or more individual wideband RF receivers or transceiver band circuits to produce a usable instantaneous bandwidth that is wider than the bandwidth of the individual band circuits. The electronic circuit overcomes the difficulties of combining bands to provide low signal distortion across the band edges and throughout the combined instantaneous bandwidth of the two or more individual band circuits. This electronic circuit utilizes an amplitude, time delay, and phase adjustment procedure that uses associated adjustable circuitry to eliminate misalignments between the two or more individual band circuits.

A receiver includes a bandpass filter module, a sample and hold module, a discrete time filter module, and a conversion module. The bandpass filter module is operable to filter an inbound wireless signal to produce a filtered inbound wireless signal having a bandwidth. The sample and hold module is operable to sample and hold, at a rate corresponding to a multiple of the bandwidth of the filtered inbound wireless signal, the filtered inbound wireless signal to produce a frequency domain sample pulse train. The discrete time filter module is operable to filter the frequency domain sample pulse train to produce a filtered sample pulse. The conversion module is operable to convert the filtered sample pulse into an inbound baseband signal.
