Abstract:
A direct-conversion receiver includes an analog stage for receiving an incident signal from a transmission channel, mixers and programmable-gain amplifiers. The receiver further includes at least one compensation module having input and output terminals respectively connected between the output of the mixers and the input of the programmable-gain amplifiers. The compensation module compensates for both a static DC voltage offset and a possible dynamic DC voltage offset of the analog stage.
Abstract:
A code patching device is provided for use with a processor having a read-only memory which stores instruction code and a further memory for storing patch code. A plurality of patch address registers each store an address, in the read-only memory, at which a patch is to be performed. A comparator compares the address of the read-only memory that is being accessed by the processor with the addresses stored in the registers. A control unit selects between code from the read-only memory or patch code from the further memory depending on the comparison. The code patching device can replace, on-the-fly, erroneous lines of code from the read-only memory by corrected ones. During an initialization process the patch code is loaded into the further memory and the registers are loaded with the addresses which require patching.
Abstract:
The hybrid circuit can be used to substantially reduce near echo signals. The circuit includes a balanced 2-wire to 4-wire hybrid for interconnecting a two wire receive path and a two wire transmit path to a two wire transmission line. The two wire receive path connects the balanced hybrid to an A/D converter and the two wire transmit path connects a D/A converter to the balanced hybrid. The two wire receive path contains a filter, dimensioned to remove signals transmitted from the D/A converter. The invention is particularly adapted for use with FDD and OFDD.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an image sensor device comprising a substrate, formed in CMOS technology, in particular, with an integrated semiconductor structure (ASIC) and, arranged above that, an optically active thin-film structure comprising in each case at least one layer made of doped and undoped amorphous silicon, spatially adjacent pixels in each case being formed in the horizontal plane, which pixels each have an optoelectronic transducer for converting incident light into an electric current proportional to the incident quantity of light, and also a charge store assigned to the optoelectronic transducer, the charge state of which charge store can be varied in a manner dependent on the light incident on the assigned optoelectronic transducer. Taking this as a departure point, the invention is based on the object of further developing an image sensor device of the stated type to the effect of avoiding image distortions in the case of moving objects, which is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the charge store is a capacitor (Cint), in which the photocurrent output by the optoelectronic transducer can be integrated during a predetermined measurement duration, and that a switching means (Tstop) that can be driven by a common control device is provided in each pixel, which switching means can be driven jointly for all the pixels of the image sensor device.

Abstract:
A method for controlling frequency of a local oscillator in a DS-CDMA type receiver includes transforming a known spread spectrum signal into a sampled digital signal formed of symbols with a despreaded frequency spectrum, and determining a residual frequency error fe for each symbol including a first residual frequency error fe1. The method further includes correcting the frequency of the local oscillator with the residual frequency errors, and determining an average of absolute values of a predetermined number of successive residual frequency errors. The average is compared with a threshold, and if the average is greater than or equal to the threshold, the local oscillator frequency is corrected using an error equal to −sgn(fe1) (1/T−|fe1|), where sgn is the sign function, | | is the absolute value function and T is duration of a symbol before determining the next residual frequency error associated with the next symbol.

Abstract:
A system and method is provided for estimating a sequence of N bits ({circumflex over (x)}0{circumflex over (x)}1 . . . {circumflex over (x)}N−1) corresponding to a received sequence of M digital data (r0r1 . . . rM−1). The method includes determining candidate sequences of MRS digital data from a reduced reference sequence space comprising 2NRS reduced reference sequences of MRS reference digital data (s0s1 . . . sMRS−1), MRS being less than M, and 2NRS being less than or equal to 2N. The method further includes making up each candidate sequence with remaining reference symbols to obtain at least one complete candidate sequence of M digital data, and determining the sequence of N bits ({circumflex over (x)}0{circumflex over (x)}1 . . . {circumflex over (x)}N−1) from the complete candidate sequences.
Abstract:
A method is provided for processing a signal emanating from a multi-path transmission medium. A number L of echoes of the signal received are detected, with L being greater than the number N of fingers of a “Rake” receiver, and there are selected N echoes from among the L echoes that are detected. At least some of the L echoes that are detected are echoes temporally correlated according to a determined correlation criterion. The selection step includes determining, as a function of the initial complex amplitudes associated with at least the temporally correlated echoes, weighted individual energies corresponding respectively to temporally decorrelated virtual echoes, and selecting from among the L echoes of N echoes as a function of a determined power criterion using at least the weighted individual energies.
