摘要:
A device and a method of characterizing a communications channel. The method includes transmitting a first part of a packet preamble using two or more antennas and transmitting a second part of the packet preamble using the two or more antennas. Each antenna transmits an orthogonal encoding of the second part of the packet preamble. The method also includes transmitting a packet header using the two or more antennas and transmitting a packet payload using the two or more antennas. Each antenna transmits an orthogonal encoding of the packet header. The packet payload may be encoded across the transmissions of the two or more antennas.

A Hybrid IMMSE-LMMSE receiver processing technique predicts performance of and selects between iterative and non-iterative decoding of symbols based on an intelligent metric. Based on a pre-specified criterion, the receiver determines if a correct first-stage decision is made or not. If a correct decision is made, then it follows iterative processing like in BLAST. Alternatively, if a wrong decision is found to have occurred, the receiver resorts to LMMSE estimation processing.

The present invention is an improved system and method for transmitting and receiving digital information over mobile communication channels. The present invention includes an enhanced channel estimator (34) which iteratively estimates channel amplitude and phase distortion from received pilot and data signal information at various time instants. The iterative channel estimation scheme of the present invention provides increased performance of the transceiver system which allows for efficiencies such as transmission of a minimal amount of pilot information and reduction in the transmitted power.

A circuit is designed with a correction circuit (350) coupled to receive a first estimate signal (&agr;j1), a second estimate signal (&agr;j2), and a plurality of input signals from an external source along plural signal paths. The plurality of input signals includes a first and a second input signal (Rj1, Rj2) The correction circuit produces a first symbol estimate in response to the first and second estimate signals and the first and second input signals. The correction circuit produces a second symbol estimate in response to the first and second estimate signals and the first and second input signals. A combining circuit is coupled to receive a plurality of first symbol estimates including the first symbol estimate and a plurality of second symbol estimates including the second symbol estimate. The combining circuit produces a first symbol signal ({tilde over (S)}1) in response to the plurality of first symbol estimates and a second symbol signal ({tilde over (S)}2) in response to the plurality of second symbol estimates. A synchronization circuit (408) is coupled to receive the first and second symbol signals (400-406) and a first known symbol and a second known symbol (410-416). The synchronization circuit produces a synchronization signal (418) in response to an approximate match between the first symbol signal and the first known symbol and between the second symbol signal and the second known symbol.

A circuit is designed with a measurement circuit (432). The measurement circuit is coupled to receive a first input signal (903) from a first antenna (128) of a transmitter and coupled to receive a second input signal (913) from a second antenna (130) of the transmitter. Each of the first and second signals is transmitted at a first time. The measurement circuit produces an output signal corresponding to a magnitude of the first and second signals. A control circuit (430) is coupled to receive the output signal and a reference signal. The control circuit is arranged to produce a control signal at a second time in response to a comparison of the output signal and the reference signal.

Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for chip to chip communications in electronic circuits. A router or switch receives data packets at input port ASICs. A routing table on the input port ASIC or on a routing ASIC is used to identify a destination port ASIC based upon header information in the data packet. The data packet is transmitted from the input port ASIC to the destination port ASIC using millimeter wave signals that are transmitted across a waveguide or a wireless interface.

The present invention provides a versatile system for selectively spreading carrier data across multiple carrier paths within an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, particularly an ultra-wideband (UWB) system. The present invention provides a data input, which passes data to a randomizer. The data then passes to a convolutional code function, the output of which is punctured by puncturing function. An interleaver function receives the punctured code data, and cooperatively operates with a mapper element to prepare the coded data for pre-transmission conversion by an IFFT. The mapper element comprises a dual carrier modulation function, which associates and transforms two punctured code data elements into a format for transmission on two separate signal tones.
