    摘要: An aspect of the present invention provides signal quality information representing the angular deviations (i.e., based on the phase angle difference between the received symbol and the corresponding decoded symbol (i.e., selected symbol point in a signal constellation)). As a result, a relatively more accurate signal quality information is provided to external component at least in systems in which the signal constellation do not have multiple symbols in the same angle. The computational complexity may also be reduced as a result.

    摘要: A receiver (100) is provided for signals of different signal strengths and modulated with respective pseudorandom noise (PN) codes. The receiver (100) includes a correlator circuit (120) operable to correlate the signals with a selectable locally-issued PN code having a Doppler and a code lag to produce a peak, the correlator circuit (120) being subject to cross correlation with a distinct PN code carried by least one of the signals that can produce cross correlation; and a cross correlation circuit (370, 400) operable to generate a variable comparison value related to the cross correlation as a function of values representing a Doppler difference and a code lag difference between the locally-issued PN code and the distinct PN code, and to use the variable comparison value to reject the peak as invalid from cross correlation or to pass the peak as a valid received peak.

    摘要: Example embodiments of the systems and methods of dynamic spur mitigation for wireless receivers disclosed herein comprise one or more of a detection module for detecting the presence of a spur and a determination of its frequency, a complex notch filter chain, and a frequency locked loop which ensures that the input spur is notch filtered even if it drifts after detection. When a spur is detected, the frequency of the tone is determined. The spur is then filtered, for example using a phase rotator and a DC separator. The phase rotation is removed in a subsequent stage. The non-DC component from the DC separator is used to track the spur to compensate for any shifting or drifting in the spur.
