A wireless transceiver including an oscillator, a radio, a baseband processor and MAC device that performs apiori frequency offset correction. The radio converts between RF signals and baseband signals. The baseband processor includes a frequency correction loop, an inverter and a combiner. The frequency correction loop generates a frequency offset signal based on a frequency difference between an oscillator reference frequency and frequency of a received signal. The inverter inverts the frequency offset signal and the combiner adjusts frequency of a transmit signal by the inverted frequency offset signal. The MAC processes received packets, identifies packets received from an AP, provides packets to the baseband processor for transmission, and controls the baseband processor to adjust transmit signals to a frequency of the AP. The baseband processor may include a memory or filter to store or update frequency offset values.

In a spread spectrum communications system employing cyclic code shift keying as its primary modulation, the transmission waveform is spread for transmission security by modulo-2 adding a pseudo-noise sequence to the CCSK data symbols prior to phase modulating onto a carrier signal for transmission. If the transmission modulation is minimum shift keying (MSK) the two components of the data stream are applied to the carrier with a differential encoding step implicit in the modulation scheme. This differential encoding characteristic makes stripping of the PN spread function prior to CCSK demodulation difficult at the receiving end. In order to demodulate this waveform in an optimum manner, an array correlator, the adjacent correlator stages of which have one chip relative time displacements of their CCSK reference waveform, is employed. In effect the array correlator becomes a parallel array of matched filters matched to each cyclic shift of the incoming waveform. By modulo-2 addition of the PN spreading waveform with the time displaced CCSK reference waveform in each stage of the correlator, the correlator can be made to match all versions of the spread symbol being received.

A detector (20) is provided for use in a communication receiver where a received spread spectrum data signal is detected using a locally generated reference signal to decode the data signal. The detector (20) includes first (22) and second channels (24) and circuitry (90) for applying the received encoded data signal to the first (22) and second channels (24). A local generator (50) is provided for generating the reference signal wherein the reference signal has polarity transitions. A demodulator (40) is included in the first channel (22) for generating a detected recovered data signal from the received data signal in response to the reference signal. Circuitry (52) is provided for detecting the polarity transitions in the reference signal and for generating a differential PN signal. Circuitry (42) is further provided in the second channel (24) for correlating the received data signal and the differential PN signal to thereby generate a recovered error signal. The recovered data signal and the recovered error signal are correlated by circuitry (58) to generate a control signal for application to the local generator (50) for locking the reference signal to a component of the received data signal.

A direct current responsive mixing circuit (10) includes three mixers (14, 16 & 18), each having one D.C. port and two A.C. ports. The D.C. ports are responsive to D.C. and A.C. signals, while the A.C. ports are responsive only to A.C. signals. One mixer (14) has an A.C. port (24) receiving a pump signal and a D.C. port (28) receiving an I input signal. A second mixer (16) has an A.C. port (26) receiving the pump signal and a D.C. port (32) receiving a Q input signal. The remaining A.C. ports of the first two mixers (14 and 16) are connected to the two A.C. ports (36 and 38) of the third mixer (18). An output signal having a component corresponding to the product of the I and Q input signals is produced at the D.C. port (40) of the third mixer (18). In this construction, the mixing circuit 10 is responsive to A.C. and D.C. input signals and may produce a D.C. output signal component.
摘要:
The performance of a RAKE receiver for indoor multipath WLAN applications on direct sequence spread spectrum signals having relatively short codeword lengths is enhanced by embedding a decision feedback equalizer structure in the signal processing path through the receiver's channel matched filter and codeword correlator. The decision feedback equalizer serves to cancel both inter-codeword interference (ISI) or “bleed-over” between codewords, and intra-codeword chip interference (ICI) or smearing of the energy within the chips of a respective codeword.
摘要:
A low probability of intercept communication system (CCSK)--modulates information signals onto an inverse fast Fourier transformation of a large number of simultaneous frequencies that have been determined to be reasonably `quiet` within a given system bandwidth, so as to produce a time domain pulse waveform. The amplitude of each transmitted frequency is weighted. Within the receiver equipment of each participant in the system, the incoming pulse waveform produced by the inverse fast Fourier transformation mechanism at the source is coupled to a fast Fourier transform operator, so as to separate the time domain signal into a plurality of frequency components that contain the modulated data. These components are then convolved with a replica of the plurality of quiet channels to derive a time domain output waveform from which the data modulation can be identified and recovered. Even if a jamming threat is injected into one or more of the `quiet` channels that has been selected as a participating carrier, by virtue of the signal analysis and recovery process employed by each unit for incoming signals, jamming spikes are effectively excised.

A recovery loop includes an analog circuit that mixes a fixed frequency signal from a temperature controlled oscillator (20) with an IF input to produce product signals corresponding to the quadrature components of data signals with frequency offset. A digital complex multiplier (32) is responsive to the product signals and to the output of a number controlled oscillator (34) to produce a digital output corresponding to the data signals. The output of the number controlled oscillator (34) is controlled by a digital phase lock loop.

A phase lock loop (10) includes a frequency and phase preset network for presetting a local oscillator (20) in substantial synchronism with a carrier signal. The preset network utilizes time delayed output signals from split or double correlators (32, 34, 36, 38) to determine a change in the phase angle between the local oscillator signal and the carrier signal for a known time period to determine the frequency of the local oscillator signal relative to the carrier signal frequency. The preset network determines the phase of the local oscillator signal relative to the carrier signal phase utilizing the summed output of one split correlator (32 and 34) and of another split correlator (36 and 38).

In a direct sequence spread spectrum receiver, an apparatus for obtaining and adjusting bit synchronization. In one aspect, the bit synchronization is adjusted by selectively inverting a clocking circuit to delay sampling by one-half a clock cycle and to combine the inversion with a skipping of one cycle to advance the sampling by one-half cycle. In another aspect of the invention, the synchronization circuit avoids overflow of accumulating components by downshifting both the partial sums and the input data when needed.
