    摘要: A receiver has a plurality of antennas for receiving a signal. The signal includes a data packet. The receiver includes a correlator to correlate a spreading code with a preamble of the data packet. A first processor determines a signal quality value of the signal at each of the plurality of antennas. The signal quality value at each of the plurality of antennas is determined during the correlation of the spreading code with the preamble of the data packet. A decision unit selects a first antenna of the plurality of antennas for reception of the signal based on the signal quality value determined at each of the plurality of antennas.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for communicating numeric data between first and second circuits incorporating a controller communicatively coupled to the first circuit to receive the numeric data, and an accumulator communicatively coupled to the second circuit and the controller, the accumulator comprising accumulator logic managing reference data, the controller being responsive to the numeric data selectively causing the accumulator logic to increment or decrement the reference data to match the numeric data. The accumulator will notify the second circuit of the so-updated reference data. In one embodiment, three signal lines (UP, DN, CLK) are used by the controller to direct the accumulator to increment, decrement, reset or hold the reference data. In another embodiment, only two signal lines are used at the expense of reset complexity.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for high speed wireless transmission involving selective PSK coding techniques are disclosed. In particular, to enhance effective throughput while maintaining a channel footprint backwards compatible with existing IEEE 802.11 and 802.11b (1999) standards, the payload of outbound data packets are selectively modulated using DQPSK techniques at the CCK symbol chipping rate. This results in a 22 Mbps effective throughput, a 2× improvement over the 802.11b standard. A complementary receiver includes a DQPSK demodulation pathway suitable for decoding inbound data packets at the 11 MHz CCK chipping rate but bypassing the conventional CCK encoder, resulting in a 22 Mbps data stream. Backwards compatibility with legacy 802.11 and 802.11b devices is partially accommodated using a data packet format similar to the conventional PLCP frame format but for the data transmission rate and use of heretofore reserved bits, causing legacy devices to ignore such packets.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for constraining tap coefficients in an adaptive Finite Impulse Response filter includes structure and steps whereby a coefficient supply circuit provides at least two even tap coefficients and at least two odd tap coefficients to the adaptive Finite Impulse Response filter. Constraint circuitry then selectively constrains changes in the values of at least one of (i) the two even tap coefficients and (ii) the two odd tap coefficients. Preferably, the Finite Impulse Response filter has taps C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6. A coefficient supplier is coupled to provide coefficients to said taps, and an adaptive circuit changes the coefficients supplied by said coefficient supplier in accordance with changes in an output of the Finite Impulse Response filter. The adaptive circuit includes circuitry to constrain allowable change in both the even tap coefficients C0, C2, C4, C6 and in the odd tap coefficients C1, C3, C5.
