A CDMA coded, spread spectrum radio signal containing a strong signal and a weak signal is received, and the interference of the strong signal with the weak signal is computed to enhance the ability to track the weak signal. The codes modulating both signals are known, and the weak signal can be predicted. The interference of the strong signal is calculated as the product of the amplitude of the strong signal and the predicted crosscorrelation of the strong signal with the weak signal. The strong signal may be measured, predicted, or acquired through a combination of both methods. The crosscorrelation may be predicted for a range of weak signal values, and the weak signal selected as the prediction producing the greatest received power.

Memory reallocation and sharing among components of an electronic system is provided. The electronic system includes a first memory area coupled for access by a first processor via a first bus, and a second memory area coupled for access by a second processor via a second bus. An example system includes a central processor as the first processor and a digital signal processor as the second processor. The electronic system further includes memory configurations that support shared access of the second memory area by the first processor. Using shared access, the first processor can directly access the second memory via the first bus or indirectly access the second memory via the second bus and the second processor. The memory sharing also includes partitioning the shared memory to simultaneously provide the first processor with direct and indirect access to the shared memory.

A wireless communication device (e.g., a cellular telephone) includes one transceiver for voice or data communication and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver a signal for receiving a GPS signal from the GPS satellites. The GPS receiver does not receive the GPS signal when the transceiver is transmitting, so that the GPS signal receives may consist of multiple signal segments of various duration and various delays. A method is provided which combine correlations of these multiple signal segments cumulatively until a sufficiently signal-to-noise ratio is achieved to allow detection of the transmitted signal of one or more of the GPS satellites.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for minimizing the interference between wireless transmissions and a proximately located or co-located GPS receiver is disclosed. By feedforward of a phase and amplitude adjusted version of the transmitted signal and combining said signal with the composite signal at the input of the GPS receiver, the GPS receiver sensitivity degradation is reduced or eliminated in the case of perfect cancellation, and the GPS receiver is not jammed by the wireless transmissions. The invention allows a single antenna to be implemented for GPS reception and wireless transmission and reception without unduly complicating the diplexing/filtering network required to separate the multiple signals being transmitted and/or received by the single antenna.
摘要:
A spread spectrum detector employs a Doppler phase correction system that improves correlation of pseudo-noise (PN) codes to a received spread spectrum signal by combining phase shifts to correlation values, using a fast fourier transform (FFT), that compensate for the Doppler shift error that is inherent in the signal and that is imposed upon the signal by movement between the signal source and receiver. In architecture, the Doppler phase correction system includes a receiver to receive a spread spectrum modulated signal having the Doppler shift error. A multiplier produces a plurality of complex first correlation values based upon the signal and a code. A phase shifter generates a plurality of complex second correlation values respectively from the first correlation values using an FFT. The second correlation values are phase shifted by respective different amounts from corresponding first correlation values, so that the second correlation values exhibit less of the Doppler shift error than the first correlation values. A combiner, such as an integrator, combines, or integrates, the second correlation values to derive a third correlation value that indicates a degree of correspondence of the a code with the signal.
摘要:
A signal detector employs a coherent accumulation system that coherently combines the correlation results derived from segments of samples of a received signal. The segments may have non-uniform lengths and may have been obtained over different and non-overlapping time periods. The segments are obtained during sampling windows of arbitrary length and at arbitrary times, and the results of processing the segments are successively combined in a coherent manner (separate magnitude and phase accumulation) until a threshold signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been achieved. Coherent integration is enabled by introducing a carrier phase offset as well as a code phase offset, so that different segments are aligned in carrier phase as well as code phase. Although not limited to this application, in one implementation example, the signal detector is used in connection with and as part of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver.
