    摘要: A digital calibration device and method for a high speed digital system. A digital calibration device coupled to a timing device in a high speed digital system for digitally calibrating the timing device includes a delay estimator, a control logic, and a digitally controlled load unit. In operation, the delay estimator calculates a delay value indicative of a timing delay between a first output and a second output of a timing device of the high speed digital system. Further, the control logic generates a control signal based on the delay value. Furthermore, the digitally controlled load unit applies at least one of a first load to a non-delayed line and a second load to a delayed line of the timing device based on the control signal to calibrate a timing delay between the non-delayed line and the delayed line of the timing device.

    摘要: A receiver (100) is provided for signals of different signal strengths and modulated with respective pseudorandom noise (PN) codes. The receiver (100) includes a correlator circuit (120) operable to correlate the signals with a selectable locally-issued PN code having a Doppler and a code lag to produce a peak, the correlator circuit (120) being subject to cross correlation with a distinct PN code carried by least one of the signals that can produce cross correlation; and a cross correlation circuit (370, 400) operable to generate a variable comparison value related to the cross correlation as a function of values representing a Doppler difference and a code lag difference between the locally-issued PN code and the distinct PN code, and to use the variable comparison value to reject the peak as invalid from cross correlation or to pass the peak as a valid received peak.

    摘要: A multi-carrier (MC) receiver receives a multi-carrier signal containing data symbols as well as pilot symbols. The MC receiver estimates a carrier frequency offset in a downconverted base-band multi-carrier signal in the frequency domain based on deviations of one or more characteristics of the pilot signals from predetermined values, and corrects for the offset in the time domain. In an embodiment, a second order phase locked loop (PLL) estimates the phase of the pilot signals to determine the carrier frequency offset. Changes in pilot phases caused due to the time domain correction are cancelled to allow the PLL to minimize deviations from the lock position.

    摘要: An aspect of the present invention detects the presence of interference by examining an input signal received on an input path, and blanks the receiver if interference is detected. Information contained in the input signal may be recovered otherwise. In an embodiment, the duty cycle of a jamming signal is determined by examining the input signal, and a threshold strength having a positive correlation with the duty cycle is determined. If the strength of the jamming signal during the on-interval (start and end of the interference in each cycle) is greater than the threshold strength, then only the receiver is blanked. Otherwise, no blanking is performed, and only the gain of an amplifier in the path from the input path to a baseband processor is reduced. According to another aspect, one or more cycles of the interference is used to detect the start of interference and the receiver is blanked when interference is present.
