Abstract:
A multi-user demodulator eliminates synchronization problems without interference cancellation. A threshold process is applied to a despread signal to extract each user's signal. The extracted signals are respread, and those respread signals other than a specifier user's signal are subtracted from the received signal to ideally extract the specific user's signal.
Abstract:
The autocorrelation coefficient operator 60 carries out an integration operation to determine the autocorrelation coefficient for audio signal processing or other types of signal processing at high speed with low power consumption. The input signal S is digitized in the A/D converter 30 to the digital signal SP and supplied to a delay unit 40, which delays and holds the digital signal SP sequentially. A sample holder 45 also samples and holds the analog signal S in synchronization with the delay unit 40. When the number of sampled values held by the sample holder 45 reaches a predetermined value, the sample holder 45 outputs the sampled values at the same time in accordance with a sampling clock signal CK which is supplied by a clock signal generator 35. Delayed values held in the delay unit 40 are shifted and output sequentially in accordance with a shift clock signal SCK, the frequency of which is higher than that of the sampling clock signal CK. A weighted addition circuit 50 integrates these sampled values and the delayed values to calculate the autocorrelation coefficient R.

Abstract:
A matched filter having a set of registers to successively store a digital voltage. The matched filter includes a cumulative shift register, a number of exclusive-or circuits, and an analog adder. The cumulative shift register has a number of stages in which each stage has one bit corresponding to the shift register. The exclusive-or circuits each perform an exclusive-or function on each bit of the digital data and the one bit coefficient while the analog adder sums outputs from the exclusive-or circuits.
Abstract:
An analog to digital converter comprises a differential input portion that receives an input voltage and a reference voltage and has a first and second output terminals, a positive feedback portion connected to said first and second output terminals, a buffer if CMOSFETs connected at its input to the first output terminal, a second buffer connected at its input to the second output terminal, and a comparison circuit including a first switching portion connected between the first and second output terminals for connecting and disconnecting the first and second output terminals in response to a comparison clock signal. The comparison circuit is connected at its output to the first or second buffer. The input voltage and the reference voltage are compared when said switching portion changes from the connecting condition to the disconnecting condition in response to the comparison clock signal.

Abstract:
In one aspect, the present invention provides a low power consumption matched filter. The signal received at an input terminal is input to a shift register having stages equal to the spread code length number after conversion into digital signals in an A/D converter. The outputs of the shift register stages are input to XOR circuits set corresponding to each stage, so that XOR operations are performed between the outputs and corresponding spread code bits d1 to dN. The outputs of the XOR circuits are analogously added in an analog adder and output from an output terminal. In another aspect, a filter circuit uses an analog operation circuit to prevent lowered operational accuracy caused by residual charge. Input analog signals successively undergo sampling and holding in sample-and-hold circuits, are multiplied by coefficients stored in a shift register by multiplication circuits, and added in an addition circuit. Sample data transmission error storage is prevented by shifting coefficients in the shift register. Sample-and-hold circuits and multiplication circuits are formed by analog operation circuits, and each include a switch for canceling the residual charge. The sample-and-hold circuits and multiplication circuits normally working are refreshed sequentially by providing circuits for replacing their function. The addition circuit is refreshed in the same way.
Abstract:
In a method is disclosed for transmitting and receiving a transmission data signal, after the transmission data signal is generated, it is modulated by a first time spread root Nyquist filter to generate a transmission signal. The signal is then transmitted and received, whereupon the signal is transformed into a baseband signal. The baseband signal is then demodulated through a second time spread root Nyquist filter to revive the transmission data signal. An apparatus is also disclosed that performs this method. In addition, methods of separately transmitting and receiving signals are also described.
Abstract:
A waiting circuit which is utilized in a mobile communication system. The waiting circuit detects a predetermined signal from a base station. The waiting circuit starts other circuits in the mobile communication system which are in a sleep mode when the predetermined signal is received. The predetermined signal is generated in the base station. The predetermined signal has a speed equal to a predetermined symbol rate and is modulated to be an intermediate frequency signal. The intermediate frequency signal is sampled in response to a sampling clock that has a speed equal to an integer times the symbol rate. The sampled intermediate frequency signal is input to a match filter which multiplies the sample signal by a predetermined sequence of coefficients.
