Abstract:
This invention reduces electric power consumption of a CDMA communication system receiver while it is in the wait mode. A received spread spectrum signal is demodulated in multiplication means into baseband signals Ri and Rq, and inputted into a complex matched filter. This filter is intermittently driven by supply voltage control means to perform acquisition of received signals. When an electric power calculation circuit detects the output of the filter to reach a peak equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the received signals undergo acquisition by controlling n number of correlators 26-1 to 26-n to work by a correlator controlling circuit. Moreover, de-spreading is performed. The outputs from each correlator 46-1 to 26-n are given to a RAKE combiner and demodulated by the RAKE by a combining and demodulating circuit.
Abstract:
A fast spread spectrum communication system is provided, having fewer circuits and requiring fewer PN codes to be assigned to a user. A series of digital data to be transmitted, is divided into 4-bit frames. The 4-bit data of each frame is divided into the first through fourth elements in a predetermined order. The first complex number is constructed by the first and second elements, and the second complex number is determined according to the value of the third and fourth elements. The spectrum of the data to be transmitted is spread by multiplying these complex numbers. Four matched filters despread a received signal by different combinations of PN codes stored in a receiver. The first through fourth elements are recovered according to the outputs of the matched filters.
Abstract:
A matched filter with reduced electric power consumption is disclosed. The matched filter circuit power consumption is reduced by stopping the electric power supply to an unnecessary circuit since input signal is partially sampled just after an acquisition. Since the spreading code is 1 bit data string, the input signal sampled and held is branched out into the signal groups "1" and "-1" by a multiplexer. The signals in each groups are added in parallel by a capacitive coupling, and the electric power is supplied in the circuit intermittently.

Abstract:
Phases of the spread spectrum signal are corrected with a high degree of accuracy by a minimum of circuitry. One of phase correction circuits 31-34 of the receiver corresponds to each path. The I-component and Q-component of a despread output are supplied to the phase correction circuits 31-34. A phase error extractor 1 extracts the first phase error from a received pilot block. A phase corrector 2 corrects the phase error of a received information symbol using a correction vector that has been calculated based on the first phase error. The RAKE synthesizer 25 synthesizes the corrected received signal with outputs of the phase correction A circuits of other paths and outputs the synthesized signal to a temporary determiner 3 which temporarily determines an information symbol to be processed. The phase error is modified in a correction vector modifier 4 using the temporary determination result. A new correction vector is calculated based on the modified phase error. In this way, the correction vectors are sequentially modified based on the temporary determination results for the information symbols.
