摘要： A method is described that enables a system to estimate the individual times of arrival of multi-path signals components in a received signal while blind to the particular angular response characteristics of an antenna array. Additionally, a system is described that estimate the impulse response of the modulation channel. The impulse response is used to generate impulse response estimates for all multi-path signal components without reference to the actual angle of arrival of the signal. The impulse response for the multi-path constituents are directly associated with the time delays on each path, providing delay estimates for each path.

摘要： A method for calibrating an antenna and signal processing system enabling angle of arrival (AOA) determination for a frequency hopping signal, in which a calibration coefficient is determined in response to one or more calibration signals injected into the system at one or more of the frequencies in the hopping sequence and proximate in time to reception of the communication signal. The calibration coefficients are reflective of a frequency and time dependent parameter of a path between the antenna and wireless location sensor. The AOA is determined as a function of the calibration coefficient and the radio frequency energy of the received communication signal. Several embodiment of the method are illustrated.

摘要： In a receiver of a transmission system in which the data transmission rate is not an integer multiple of the spacing between transmission channels, a single oscillator is used to generate both the system clock used to process the data signal as well as the mixing signal used to downconvert the received RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF). The frequency error in the IF signal that results from mixing the RF signal at a less-than-ideal mixing frequency is compensated by selecting an appropriate mixing signal frequency applied when downconverting the IF signal to baseband. In a transmitter, the mixing signal frequency used to upconvert the outgoing baseband signal to IF is selected to pre-compensate for the frequency error resulting from upconverting the IF signal to RF using a less-than-ideal mixing frequency. In either case, the receiver/transmitter can be implemented without having to provide a dedicated reference oscillator for converting signals between RF and IF.

摘要： A non-linearity generator operates on a signal between a frequency converter and an amplifier and acts as a postdistorter for the component it follows and as a predistorter for the component it precedes, thus linearizing the overall input-output characteristic of the circuit. Cross-modulation components distorting an injected pilot signal provide a feed-back signal that is used to control the distortion applied by a non-linearity generator. The non-linearity generator can be adapted to cope with widely spaced input tones. The circuit may form part of a transmitter or a receiver.

摘要： An active antenna array for use in a beamforming antenna system. The antenna array includes multicarrier power amplifiers coupled to each antenna element wherein the outputs of the multicarrier power amplifiers are linearized. The antenna array communicates with a base station control unit located at the base of the cellular tower in digital baseband. Fiber optic transmission lines couple the antenna arrays with the base station control unit. Multicarrier linear power amplifiers may be coupled to the antenna elements to linearize the outputs of the antenna elements. Alternatively, a predistortion circuit is coupled to the antenna elements to linearize the outputs of the antenna elements when multicarrier power amplifiers are used.
