    摘要: A multi-mode transmitter architecture is configurable for multiple modulation modes using either polar or polar-lite modulation. Multiplexed signal paths and reconfigurable components are controlled for performance in GMSK and EDGE burst modes. Polar-lite EDGE modulation is programmed by setting a multiplexer coupling a first amplitude modulated signal path with a frequency modulated signal path input to a dual-mode power amplifier for amplification of the combined EDGE transmission signal. In full-polar EDGE modulation, amplitude modulated signal is multiplexed into a second amplitude modulated signal path for A/D conversion and comparison with a polar feedback signal coupled from the power amplifier output. The resulting comparison is applied to a power control port of the power amplifier to amplitude modulate the EDGE transmission output. Multiplexers are configured to disconnect the amplitude modulated paths when operating in GMSK signaling for both full-polar and polar-lite modulation. Multiplexers selectively couple power feedback into the second amplitude modulated signal path to provide power control and output power ramping for burst transmissions.

    摘要: Systems and techniques are described for applying a polar bias modulation having a phase component and an amplitude component to a signal amplified by a power amplifier. The power amplifier (PA) has a plurality of amplifier gain stages and is configured to amplify an input to create an amplifier output signal. The input to the power amplitude is phase modulated based upon the phase component of the polar bias modulation, but need not be amplitude modulated. Amplitude modulation is provided by logic that includes a detector configured to receive an indication of the amplifier output as a feedback signal, a control module configured to generate a control signal based upon both the feedback signal and the amplitude component of the polar bias modulation, and a bias circuit configured to adjust a bias signal associated with at least one of the plurality of amplifier gain stages in response to the control signal. Such a modulation scheme may be readily applied in enhanced data rate for global service mode (GSM) evolution (EDGE) applications, as well as in other environments that make use of polar modulation.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain amplitude normalization for symbol correlation in multi-carrier communication systems. Digital samples associated with input signals received from a communication medium are processed using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to generate complex frequency components. Each complex frequency component is normalized with respect to its amplitude, and the frequency-domain, amplitude-normalized frequency components are multiplied with frequency components for reference symbol(s) to generate frequency-domain correlation values. These frequency-domain correlation values are analyzed to determine if a correlation exists between the amplitude-normalized frequency components and the predetermined reference frequency components. A correlation detection output is then generated that indicates whether or not a symbol synchronization was achieved. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for symbol correlation in received signals for power line communication (PLC) systems.

    摘要: A mixer circuit (400) for use with a multi-stage receiver (200) accepts a single ended or differential (i.e. balanced) input (401). A voltage to current converter (402) comprised of a single RF transistor coupled to the input (401) provides a single current node (404) having a current proportional to a received input. A switching network (408) employs a plurality of stages (406). Each stage (406) is connected to the current node (404) and further has a control line (A, B, C, D). A clock signal generator connected to the control lines (A, B, C, D) of the switching network stage (406), generates clock signals having a frequency equal to the frequency of the received RF input signal. The switching network (408) under control of the clock signals switches the current at a frequency equal to the frequency of the received RF input signal to generate baseband I and Q signals. If the mixer (500) is differential, the balanced signal inputs (520) will be 180.degree. out of phase, one to another. In addition, the mixer (500) will consist of a first (510) and second (515) switching network. Of importance, only one first (510) and one second (515) switching network stage is active at any instant in time.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain symbol and frame synchronization for multi-carrier communication systems. Received signals are sampled and converted into frequency components associated with subcarriers within the multi-carrier communication signals. Symbol synchronization is performed in the frequency domain by performing correlation(s) between frequency components of the received signal and frequency-domain synchronization symbol(s). After symbol synchronization, frame synchronization correlation is also performed in the frequency domain between frequency components of the received signal and frequency-domain synchronization symbol(s). The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for symbol and frame synchronization in multi-carrier received signals for power line communication (PLC) systems and/or other harsh noisy communication environments.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency-domain frame synchronization for multi-carrier communication systems. Received signals are sampled and converted into frequency domain components associated with subcarriers within the multi-carrier communication signals. A sliding-window correlation (e.g., two-dimensional sliding window) is applied to the received symbols represented in the frequency domain to detect frame boundaries for multi-carrier signals. The sliding-window frame synchronization can be applied by itself or can be applied in combination with one or more additional frame synchronization stages. The disclosed embodiments are particularly useful for frame synchronization of multi-carrier signals in PLC (power line communication) systems.

    摘要: Methods and corresponding systems in a Viterbi decoder include selecting an input symbol in an input block, wherein the input block has a plurality of input symbols, wherein each input symbol has a Boolean value, a quality value, and an associated stage, and wherein the selected symbol is selected based upon the quality value of the selected symbol relative to a quality value of other input symbols in the input block. Thereafter, the Boolean value of the selected symbol is complemented to produce a complemented symbol. The complemented symbol is substituted for the selected symbol to produce an alternate input block. A Viterbi algorithm is executed using the alternate input block to produce an alternate decoded bit sequence, which is then checked for errors using an error check. The alternate decoded bit sequence is output in response to the alternate decoded bit sequence passing the error check.
