摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention transmit signals simultaneously over a communication channel at different RF center frequencies, and may use a single power amplifier and antenna. In one embodiment the present invention includes a method of transmitting information in a wireless communication channel comprising receiving digital signals having data to be transmitted, converting the signals to analog signals, up-converting each analog signal, combining the up-converted signals, amplifying the combined up-converted signal and transmitting the combined up-converted signal. In one embodiment, the same data is sent over a transmission channel at two different frequencies to improve reliability.

Wireless communication devices are disclosed that are capable of selecting and changing signal polarities depending on channel conditions in order to improve or optimize communication therebetween. When a first polarization direction is deemed inadequate, the devices can switch to communicating via a second polarization. In addition, information relating to received signal qualities in the different polarizations can be stored in each device to allow for quick and efficient exchanges between configurations. Finally, when conditions warrant, the devices can enter a dynamic polarization configuration in which signal polarizations are switched rapidly so as to enjoy benefits of diversity.

A wireless transmitter is disclosed that is capable of pre-compensating for oscillator phase noise. In the transmitter, an undesired phase noise being generated by a voltage-controlled oscillator can be detected by comparing the output of the voltage-controlled oscillator to a reference oscillator output. The phase can then be detected by calculating a desired number of zero crossings over a given time period, and comparing this value to an actual number of zero crossings detected in the signal generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator over the same period. From this, the phase component can be determined and digitally pre-compensated in a data signal.

Embodiments of the present invention include techniques for performing cross correlations. In one embodiment the present invention includes a cross correlation system for use in a communication system comprising a wireless receiver receiving a signal including a first sequence of data values and converting the first sequence of data values into a sequence of digital data values, the wireless receiver further comprising a plurality of cross correlators that each receive the digital data values and cross correlate the digital data values with a corresponding plurality of different binary reference patterns, wherein if the first sequence of data values correlates with one of said plurality of binary reference patterns, one of said cross correlators generates a peak. In one embodiment, the cross correlators are partitioned into stages. In another embodiment, the received data values are loaded into a memory that is shared by the cross correlators to reduce hardware requirements.

摘要:
One aspect of the present invention is a method for combining a direct sequence spread spectrum signal comprising signal components that each may be characterized by a space variable and a time variable comprising the steps of: dispreading the signal components; and determining a set of combining coefficients from the signal components using a Minimum Mean Square Error combining method that considers the space and time variables of the signal components in parallel. The Minimum Mean Square Error combining methods may utilize iterative methods such as the Least Mean Squares method or the Recursive Least Squares method.
