摘要:
An approach for decoding a substantially orthogonal code, such as a CCK code, based on its trellis diagram is provided. Compared to the conventional decoder based on codeword correlation, the unconventional decoder here has the advantage that it can work together with a decision feedback equalizer without suffering from the error propagation effect of the equalizer. In other words, the unconventional decoder makes joint decision feedback equalizer and decoder workable, which in turn enables reliable transmission of a signal encoded by a substantially orthogonal code over a multi-path channel.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for demodulating a square root of the sum of squares of two inputs I and Q in a digital signal processing are provided. The square root {square root over (I2+Q2)} is approximated by an equation aX +bY, wherein coefficients a and b are special binary numbers. Due to the numbers, the square root {square root over (I2+Q2)} can be quickly computed by the operation of shifting and addition. A plurality of possible approximation values for the coefficients a and b are provided, as well as the use of a comparator to select the maximal one among the possible approximation values.
