    摘要: A method is disclosed for PN correlation and symbol synchronization of a spread spectrum signal at a receiver when a symbol boundary of the spread spectrum signal is not on a PN epoch or is otherwise unknown. The method includes the operation of modulating the spread spectrum signal with a PN code to form a potentially despread signal. The potentially despread signal can be integrated for a plurality of symbol times at a rate of N integrations per symbol time to form N symbol energies per symbol for a plurality of symbols. Each of the N symbol energies can correspond to a different symbol time hypothesis. The N symbol energies from the plurality of symbols can be added respectively to form N summed symbol time hypotheses. The Nth summed symbol time hypothesis having maximum power can be found. The Nth summed symbol time hypothesis can relate to a location of the symbol boundary.

    摘要: A system and method for using Psuedo-Noise (PN) phase to determine frame start of a data frame is provided. The system and method includes at least two PN component codes, wherein the at least two PN component codes are relatively prime. A received PN composite encoded signal is correlated with at least one of the PN component codes and a frame start is determined. With reference to frame start at least one training sequence bit is located. The training bits may be overwritten on FEC encoded frame data such that a FEC decoder may be used to recover data overwritten by the training sequence bit(s).

    摘要: A receiver (20) for performing timing recovery over at least one complex channel at low or less than zero SNR (signal power to noise power, in dB) has at least one receive element such as an antenna, an analog-to-digital converter 21 (ADC), a fractional interpolation filter 23, a matched filter 24, and a timing correction loop 26. The timing correction loop 26 selects a minimum mean square error from the output of the matched filter 24 to determine a timing signal output to the interpolation filter 23, and provides one-bit weights to the matched filter 24. Preferably, the timing correction loop 26 includes a magnitude detector 26c, a moving average filter 26b, and a timing error detector 26a that outputs an integer m and fractional μ timing factor to the interpolation filter 23. Within a phase correction loop 27 is a maximum likelihood channel estimator 27b and a phase error detector 27a that controls a phase rotator 22 disposed between the ADC 21 and the interpolation filter 23.
