    摘要: An apparatus for dynamic diversity signal reception based upon receiver-side link quality assessments includes two or more antennae. At least one switch is connected to the two or more antennae. A dynamic diversity controller is connected to the at least one switch. The dynamic diversity controller includes a link quality assessor to assess link quality and generate a link characterization value. A diversity configuration selector, responsive to the link characterization value, selectively activates the at least one switch to implement a dynamic diversity configuration. The link quality assessor includes a signal strength analyzer, a modem detector, and/or a MAC layer analyzer to assess the received signal and generate the link characterization value.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for coding to improve the minimum distance properties of sequence detectors operating at high densities in storage systems is presented. The coding scheme of the present invention is referred to as maximum transition run (MTR) code and eliminates data patterns producing long runs of consecutive transitions while imposing the usual k constraint necessary for timing recovery. The code has a distance gaining property similar to an existing (1,k) runlength-limited (RLL) code, but can be implemented with considerably higher code rates. When the MTR code is used with fixed delay tree search (FDTS) or high order partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detectors, the bit error rate performance improves significantly over existing combinations of codes and detectors.

    摘要: An information handling system, such as a magnetic disk drive, includes a data channel which has a method and apparatus for detecting binary symbols from a received signal subject to intersymbol interference and additive white Gaussian noise using a three dimensional observation space with orthogonal coordinate axes. Each of three consecutive synchronous observation samples of the received signal corresponding unambiguously to an axis in the observation space. A decision feedback equalizer removes intersymbol interference terms associated with prior detector outputs. A plurality of linear classifiers are used to partition the observation space. The second and/or third sample of the equivalent channel response is constrained relative to the first for the purpose of simplifying the linear classifiers. Boolean logic functions to decide into which decision region of the observation space a sample maps into. Incorporation of modulation coding constraints reduce the probability of error by increasing the Euclidean distance between symbols in the observation space. Symbol estimates are produced synchronously with a delay of two with respect to the current observation sample.

    摘要: Demodulation techniques for a wireless communication system make use of a decision feedback equalization (DFE) technique to mitigate the effects of multipath channel characteristics on receiver performance. The techniques may be particularly useful in the demodulation of complementary code keying (CCK) symbols. A demodulator that performs such techniques may include a time-variant or time-invariant matched filter, a feedback intersymbol interference (ISI) canceller, a transform unit, a phase rotation estimator and corrector, a pattern-dependent bias canceller, and a maximum picker for symbol decisions. The transform unit may include a bank of correlators, or alternatively a fast Walsh transform unit.

    摘要: Digital communication signals that encode information in the phase may be susceptible to phase error from many sources. A device corrects for carrier and sampling phase errors, as well as additive phase noise. A digital phase locked loop simultaneously tracks the carrier phase error and the sampling phase error, and corrects the signal in the frequency domain. The device may use the sampling phase error to advance or delay the sampling window used to convert the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.

    摘要: A digital front-end for a wireless communication system incorporates gain control, signal detection, frame synchronization and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation and correction features configured for use with multiple receive antennas. The digital front-end may be applied to a wireless communication system in which transmitted signals carry a repeated signal pattern, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. An example of a repeated signal pattern is the preamble of a signal transmitted according to the IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network (WLAN) standard. The signal detection, frame synchronization, and CFO estimation techniques make use of signals received from multiple antenna paths to provide enhanced performance. The gain control feature may be configured to adjust the gain in steps. The frame synchronization technique may operate as a function of gain control, handling the input signal differently before and after gain adjustment.
