    摘要: Enhanced reception in a communication system is achieved by performing radio synchronization (SYNC) detection after multipath signal components are combined via a Rake combiner. In a communication system comprising a transmitter and a receiver, plural multipath signal components of a signal transmitted by the transmitter are received by the receiver. The plural multipath signal components are correlated with a known spreading code (e.g. a PN code). The correlated multipath signals are analyzed to identify plural correlation peaks and those correlation peaks that exceed a multipath threshold are selected. The selected correlation peaks are combined (i.e., coherently combined) to produce a combined signal. A synchronization event is declared when the combined signal exceeds an adjusted synchronization threshold and the combined signal is then decoded.

    摘要: A mobile communication system capable of improving the reception characteristic using a small circuit size and low power consumption is provided. The channel vector estimating section 181 estimates channel vectors in a method such as a method in which the section 181 multiplies, according to the multipath timings sent from the multipath timing detecting section, the input signal from the base-station receiving section by a complex conjugate of a known pilot signal to average the input signal (to average the input signal by de-spreading the pilot signal in the case of CDMA). The noise estimating section 182 estimates noise power using received signals and generates a Channel matrix by arranging the estimated channel vectors according to the multipath timings. The weight calculating section 184 calculates a weight matrix using the noise estimation value and the Channel matrix and sets the obtained filter weight vectors to the equalizing filter 185.

    摘要: A path detector unit (140) detects, from despread signals, a plurality of multipath waves that meet a predetermined criterion. A plurality of adder units (161) form beams path by path. A plurality of transmission path estimating units (170) and complex conjugate calculating units (163) calculate transmission path estimates, and then effect, on the basis of those estimates, a process of weighting according to the signal amplitudes and a process of eliminating phase variations. A plurality of interference amount estimating units (171) determine interference amounts. A plurality of normalizing units (172) normalize, on the basis of the interference amounts, the signals that have had their phase variations eliminated. An adder unit (185) combines all the normalized signals. A data discriminating unit (190) discriminates the combined signals.

    摘要: In the timing correcting device, a RAKE path detecting circuit 1 detects a plurality of path candidates to be tracked, from a reception signal, and outputs a "timing of a path" and a "detection correlation value" corresponding to each path candidate, as a result of the detection. Next, each tracking-path candidate deciding circuit (2a, 2b, 2c, ...) generates a predetermined decision standard that is necessary for selecting an optimum path timing from timings of the path candidates, based on an individually allocated result of the detection. Further, the tracking-path selecting circuit 3 selects a timing of an optimum path to be tracked, based on the result of the detection and the predetermined decision standards. Then, a comparator circuit 5 compares a predetermined reception reference timing given from the outside with the optimum path timing, and calculates a phase difference between the two. Last, the timing correction control circuit 6 controls a clock based on the phase difference, thereby to correct the reception reference timing.
