Abstract:
An apparatus and method for cell acquisition and downlink synchronization acquisition in an OFDMA wireless communication system are provided. In an SS apparatus in a broadband wireless communication system, a preamble subcarrier acquirer extracts subcarrier values having a preamble code from an FFT signal. A multiplier code-demodulates the subcarrier values by multiplying the subcarrier values by a preamble code. A correlator calculates a plurality of differential correlations in the code-demodulated signal. An IFFT processor IFFT-processes the differential correlations by mapping the differential correlations to subcarriers. A maximum value detector detects a maximum value from the IFFT signal and calculates a timing offset using an IFFT output index having the maximum value.
Abstract:
The invention provides an FFT-size detection method and system and a cell search method and system based on FFT-size detection, and more particularly to a cell search method based on FFT-size detection in cellular system. The cell search method utilizes two frames to correctly detect the actual cell ID. The cell search method uses the first frame to detect the actual FFT size of a received signal. When the FFT size is determined, the cell search method use the second frame to detect the cell ID of a base station outputting the received signal based on the FFT size.
Abstract:
The method disclosed in the invention comprises setting a plurality of subcarrier position hypotheses for a received preamble according to a plurality of ideal subcarrier positions and the maximum amount of integer carrier frequency offset (ICFO), generating a plurality of preamble pattern hypotheses by retrieving the received preamble according to the subcarrier position hypotheses, calculating the correlation between the preamble pattern hypotheses and a plurality of specified preamble patterns, determining to which sector the received preamble belongs according to a correct preamble pattern, the specified preamble pattern having the highest correlation with the preamble pattern hypotheses, obtaining a correct subcarrier position according to the sector to which the received preamble belongs; and estimating the ICFO by calculating the offset between the correct subcarrier position and the subcarrier position hypothesis of the preamble pattern hypothesis having the highest correlation with the correct preamble pattern.

A phase retardance inspection instrument, comprising: a light source module for generating a single-wavelength light beam; a circularly polarized light generating module, comprising a polarizer and a first phase retarder, for receiving the single-wavelength light beam as it is guided to passe through the polarizer and the first phase retarder in order; and a detecting module, comprising a second phase retarder, a polarizing beam splitter, a first image sensor and a second image sensor, for receiving and guiding a circularly polarized light beam to travel through the second phase retarder and the polarizing beam splitter in order after it passes through a substrate under inspection, wherein the polarizing beam splitter splits an elliptically polarized light beam into intensity vector components of a left-hand circularly polarized light beam and a right-hand circularly polarized light beam, which are to be emitted into the first image sensor and the second image sensor, respectively.
Abstract:
A communication system comprises a predistorter for distorting an input signal according to at least one parameter to generate a distorted signal, an amplifier for amplifying the distorted signal according to an input-output characteristic to generate an output signal, and a frequency-domain adaptive calibration module for adaptively adjusting the parameter of the predistorter according to a frequency characteristic of the output signal. Because the calibration is performed in the frequency domain, there is no need to precisely estimate the group delay formed by the feedback path. The system complexity is therefore reduced without loss of performance.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of adjusting light diffusing and light focusing capability of an optical element. First, an optical substrate having a first surface area is provided. Then, pluralities of pervious convexes are formed on an optical substrate, wherein the pervious convexes occupy a second surface area on the optical substrate. Diffusing effect of the optical element can be lowered/improved by increasing/decreasing an arrangement regularity of the pervious convexes. Diffusing effect enlarging/reducing the size of the optical element can also be lowered/increased by enlarging/reducing the size of pervious convexes. The focusing effects of the optical element can be improved/lowered by increasing/decreasing the ratio of the second surface area and the first surface area.
