    摘要: The present invention relates to a receiver device comprising a receiver (104) adapted to receive radio signals in two frequency bands (FB1, FB2). The radio signals in one of the frequency bands (FB1) constitute communication signals for a radio system (AMPS, NMT) having a certain channel spacing, whereas the radio signals of the second frequency band (FB2) constitutes communication signals for a second radio system (PCS1900, DCS1800, GSM) having a second certain channel spacing. The receiver (104) comprises two inputs (108, 11) each intended for a radio system having different frequency bands and channel spacing. For radio signals occurring on one input (108), mixing is performed from the RF range directly to the baseband frequency range. For radio signals occurring on the second input (108) the mixing from the radio frequency range to the baseband frequency range is carried out through an intermediate frequency range. Further the receiver (104) comprises an output (112) intended to deliver baseband signals for both radio systems. The output (112) is connected to a baseband unit which is common to the radio systems. In the baseband unit, among other things, lowpass filtering, detection and neighbouring channel suppression are performed on the received radio signal that has been mixed down to the baseband frequency range.

    摘要: A method and system enables matched filters of a CDMA system to be simplified using a two stage search. A course stage and a fine stage jointly produce the location(s) of received signal path-rays. In a first stage, an oversampled digital signal is decimated, and the decimated signal is applied to a matched filter to eventually produce an approximate location. In a second stage, the oversampled signal is shifted based on the determined approximate location and then correlated to a generated code, and a more-exact location is selected from the outputs of the correlations. Alternatively, a shifted version of the generated code is correlated to the oversampled signal, and the more-exact location is selected from the outputs of those correlations.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for reducing the power consumed by a RAKE receiver. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an environment variation estimator is implemented in a CDMA mobile station. The environment variation estimator is connected to the searcher of the RAKE receiver and provides an estimate of the rate at which the mobile station's environment is changing. By providing an estimate of the rate of change of the mobile station's environment, the duty cycle of the searcher can be optimized, thereby reducing the overall power consumed by the receiver. By also providing the estimate to the RAKE fingers, channel tracking can be improved.

    摘要: A searcher uses an input signal, and for example, a matched filter to generate a first set of candidate paths. A selector uses the input signal and the first set of candidate paths to generate a second set of paths. The second set of paths is used to configure the fingers of a RAKE receiver. According to one aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses M correlators to generate a set of M correlation values. The second stage uses the M correlation values to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses a multiple of M correlators to track the M paths and generate a set of M estimates. The second stage uses the M estimates to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the selector can generate new sets of N paths while the searcher is either active or inactive. The receiver can use a quality signal or a counter to notify the searcher and/or the selector to generate new sets of paths. The selector decreases the need to continuously run the matched filter. The receiver can re-configure the fingers without having to search for new paths. The receiver can also find paths that are uncorrelated and less susceptible to fading.

    摘要: Radio receiver test methods and apparatus are based on known relationships between the quality of a receiver that is measured based on signals before they enter a receiver decoder and the quality that is measured based on signals after the decoder. Thus, a signal generator can be set to transmit a known signal in a predetermined radio scenario (e.g., channel frequency, amplitude, etc.), and samples can be obtained of the receiver-processed known signal before the receiver's decoder. Tests in radio scenarios where noise is the dominant signal disturbance and/or tests in radio scenarios where receiver distortion is the dominant signal disturbance can be performed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device and a method in a transmitter stage in a radio transmitter for modulating and amplifying an information signal for further transmission through a radio channel. The transmitter stage in the radio transmitter comprises a converting device (5) PCH, an amplifier control device (8) PAC, a power detector (13) and a power amplifier (2). Examples of the problems solved by the present invention are difficulties in reducing the power consumption, non-linearities in the output signal when using non-linear amplifiers in radio transmitters, and achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio in the output signal without connecting filter arrangements after such an amplifier. The solution according to the inventive method and device utilizes an information signal which has in earlier steps been divided in its polar components: a phase reference component signal (E.sub.phr) and an amplitude component signal (A.sub.amp). The phase reference component phase modulates a low noise high power signal source which has a constant amplitude. The amplitude of the obtained signal is then formed in an amplifier, which is controllable with the amplitude component signal (A.sub.amp). Its current consumption is registered and compared to a control value for the current. The amplifier is controlled towards this control value.
