摘要:
A method and apparatus for constructing a series of PN code sets that can be used for multirate synchronous and quasi-synchronous CDMA systems. The construction technique produces PN codes that are balanced, and that furthermore do not require any synchronization of neighboring base stations. The method is a non-recursive method that uses a permuted orthogonal matrix to modulate permuted orthogonal matrices to create PN codes that support multirate operation. Furthermore, the codes constructed using the method have very good spectral properties (if chosen properly) when the code length, n, is reasonably large.

A transmitter is provided which simultaneously transmits waveforms such as with different data rates. These transmissions are modulated (e.g. phase modulated) onto quadrature channels of a common carrier, and are then combined. The resulting composite modulated waveform is upconverted to RF, power amplified, split and routed to separate ports for transmission. The transmitted signals are then received, downconverted and demodulated to produce the original signals.

A high PN code rate receiving system is provided for receiving, recovering and tracking a high rate PN composite code comprising a low rate PN code combined with a high rate PN code and wherein the receiving system comprises a broad band receiver for receiving the high rate PN composite code and further includes a data recovery channel and a tracking loop channel. The data recovery channel comprises a high rate mixer and a low rate mixer for removing the high data rate component code and the low data rate component code to provide a low data rate data stream. The tracking loop channel comprises a high rate early-late tracking system for producing a high rate error signal and further comprises a low rate portion of the tracking loop for producing a low rate error signal which is combined with the data output to provide a clock error signal. The clock error signal is applied to a voltage controlled oscillator to produce a low data rate clock and a high data rate clock which are coupled to a low data rate code generator and a high data rate code generator which synchronize the tracking loop and said data channel.

Apparatus and a method of generating very very long pseudonoise (PN) spread spectrum codes is provided where the code is so long that it need never repeat itself during actual use. The transmitter is adapted to start to transmit one set of a plurality of component codes as a composite code having correlation properties with the component codes. When the first set of component codes are acquired at the receiver the composite code is then transmitted as a component of a different composite code which contains the previous composite code and a second new set of component codes which have correlation properties with the new set of component codes. When the second set of component codes are acquired by the receiver the composite code is then transmitted as a third new and different composite code which contains a third new set of component codes which have correlation properties with third new set of component codes. When the third new set of component set of codes is required the transmitter is already transmitting a very very long composite code but may lengthen the composite code by employing further set of component codes or may continue to transmit the very very long composite code without having any correlation properties with any of the component codes being transmitted.

Apparatus and a method for increasing the speed of acquisition of PN coded signals includes a novel PN code clock extraction circuit which is coupled in parallel to a code tracking loop and acquisition loop of a PN receiver of the type having a replica PN code generator which is slip controlled to synchronize with the received PN coded signals. The novel PN code clock extraction circuit detects the clock transition of the received PN coded signals and synchronized the replica PN code generator clock transition signals so that there is no misalignment during acquisition. A switch control in the acquisition loop circuit senses the synchronization of the replica PN code generator transition and the received PN code transition and disconnects the PN code clock extraction circuit after synchronization of clock transition and before acquisition of the PN code so that the acquisition loop detects the PN code synchronization with a full strength signal.
摘要:
A set of independent pseudonoise (PN) component codes greater than two are combined in a manner which produces one or more I and Q uncorrelated orthogonal pairs of resulting combined PN sequences. At least two of the component codes in a resulting combined PN sequence are combined in a manner which produces an overall imbalance of ones and zeros in the binary expression of the resulting combined PN sequence so that the resulting composite code has a partial correlation with a predetermined one of the PN component codes. In the preferred embodiment, three component codes are combined to produce uncorrelated orthogonal pairs of composite codes wherein at least one of the pairs of composite codes is produced to have a partial correlation with one or more of the component codes.

Apparatus for rapidly acquiring a high performance gain long PN code having a preamble header in real time includes appratus for rapid acquiring and tracking a short PN code in said preamble header and further includes apparatus for demodulating and tracking a long PN code which follows said preamble header. After acquiring the short PN code, the short PN replica code is applied to the long code demodulation and tracking apparatus. The short PN code is employed to synchronize the long code demodulation and tracking apparatus by detecting the time of occurrence of a sync word in said preamble header and is employed to generate a switch point signal and switch from a short PN replica code to a long PN replica code at the input to the long code demodulation and tracking device in real time.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel burst erasing automatic gain control circuit which includes the basic elements of an automatic gain control circuit and further includes in the loop control circuit, slow response wideband filter means, and a hard limiter which limits the AGC'ed output from the amplifier so that the signal reaching the slow response wideband filter means never exceeds a predetermined value which would cause distortion in the feedback loop. The output of the novel automatic gain control circuit is coupled to a despreading circuit which removes substantially all of the remaining burst jamming signals.
