    摘要: A location system for identifying locations of emitters in a cellular telephone service area. Searching identifies active emitters in the service area to find the coarse areas in which active emitters are located, using selection criteria to designate one or more of the active emitters as selected emitters. Emitter signals are measured with a plurality of sensors, each sensor at a different location. Groups of the sensors are tasked, one group of tasked sensors for each corresponding selected emitter. Each tasked sensor takes a measurement on an emitter signal transmitted by the corresponding selected emitter. The measurements are processed to determine the location of each selected emitter based on the measurements from the group of tasked sensors.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method select and use parameter values for an RF power amplifier linearizer to pre-distort the input signals of a power amplifier, so as to achieve a linear output response in the power amplifier. The apparatus and the method select from a number sets of parameter values, each set of parameter values corresponding to a different output power range of the power amplifier. The set of parameters include a coefficient vector tailored for the particular output power range for that set. The power amplifier input power is repeatedly measured and filtered at various time intervals. The input power measurements may be filtered by a fast attack/slow decay filter, which follows the peaks of the measurements under operation of the fast attack portion of the filter and provides a low variance during operation of the slow decay portion of the filter. The coefficient values for the predistortion linearization of the power amplifier is adapted dynamically, in response to changes in the input power level of the power amplifier. In one embodiment, hysteresis is used to reduce the rate at which the predistortion linearizer hops between two sets of the parameter values. Using the apparatus and the method, good ACLR across a wide range of power amplifier output power is achieved. Such characteristics are particularly advantageous in a system in which waveforms having fast power transients are present.

    摘要: Apparatus for identifying wireless subscriber units and for determining if access to a communications network should be granted. A plurality of wireless subscriber units each generates a wireless subscriber signal including internal data traits and external signal traits. The internal data traits include an identification code. A RF downconverter is located remote from the wireless subscriber units and receives the wireless subscriber signal. A characterizing device is connected to the RF downconverter and extracts parameters that characterize the external signal traits of the wireless subscriber units. A decision device computes the likelihood that the observed parameters belong to the validated wireless subscriber unit to determine if access to the wireless subscriber service should be granted. The apparatus may be used to prevent cellular telephone cloning fraud.

    摘要: System for measurement of the bit period (or bit rate or baud rate or symbol rate) and bit epoch (or symbol epoch) of a digitally modulated signal by extracting a bit time-of-transition array, determining an emphasis array with individual elements thereof relating to corresponding elements of the bit time-of-transition array, and using linear regression on the bit time-of-transition array with the emphasis. The emphasis array is formed from the signal amplitude, signal to interference ratio, or probability of a bit not being in error. One of several matched filters is dynamically selected based on the data content of the signal and used to detect bit transitions. The system has application in time varying multi-path fading environments. The system operates on signals with low SNR, high co-channel interference, or high intersymbol interference. Useful in transmitter identification, range finding, mobile transmitter location, and frequency hop intercept systems.
