    摘要: A wireless transceiver comprises a digital to analog converter having an input for receiving a digital representation of a direct sequence spread spectrum signal and having an analog output. A filter has an input coupled to the analog output of the digital to analog converter. An adder has a first input coupled to the filtered output and a second input coupled to a loop control voltage generated by a phase lock loop. A VCO integrated into the phase lock loop has a control input coupled to the summed output. An RF output of the VCO produces a continuous phase frequency shift keyed spread spectrum signal in response to the digital representation of the direct sequence spread spectrums signal. A receiver converts received RF signal to baseband in-phase and quadrature that are in turn converted to digitized signals. A demodulator produces chip data that is despread using a matched filter.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for accurately detecting an alert signal. Improving detector accuracy decreases missed detects and false detects. In one example embodiment the detector monitors received telephone signals for an alert signal such as a CPE alert signal. In such a configuration, the invention processes the received signal prior to monitoring by the detector to remove or reduce unwanted echo, interference and/or other signal portions that may otherwise inhibit accurate detection of alert signals sent from a remote location. In one configuration, the invention performs echo suppression or cancellation on the received signal to eliminate or reduce echo, such as may be introduced by a hybrid.

    摘要: A method and apparatus which reduces the computational complexity of a receiver subject to power swings in excess of the power swings inherent in wireless communication from normal fading. To accomplish this, attenuation or some other form of signal modification occurs prior to the digital circuitry to reduce the required resolution of the analog to digital converter and other receiver components. A power signal estimator in conjunction with an attenuation control module may control the level of attenuation.

    摘要: Spread spectrum technology is being used in more and more wireless applications. Generally applications of spread spectrum include a fixed spread spectrum code size. In addition in applications that employ time domain duplex, some may employ a fixed duty cycle, for example 50% broadcast and 50% receive, for broadcast and receive functions. Many applications, such as cordless phones, also feature a fixed sampling rate for an input signal. By building systems in which these variables are not fixed but variable manufacturers can make generic type spread spectrum controllers which can be used in a variety of applications. These same circuits can also be controlled to give current devices enhanced characteristics by adjusting data rate for changing conditions, thereby enhancing their performance. By allowing the spreading code to be reduced in length, the data rate of the transmitted signal can be increased without adjusting the bandwidth of the amplifiers used to amplify the transmitted signal. Similarly, more data can be transmitted or spreading code size increased by increasing the transmit duty cycle or the number of timeslices allotted to transmit the signal. The spreading code size can also be increased by using techniques, such as reduced sampling rate, which reduce the amount of data input into the system. Conversely the spreading code length can be increased in order to achieve more range, greater interference tolerance etc. by reducing the data rate or increasing the amount of time allotted to broadcast the signal.

    摘要: A wireless transceiver comprises a digital to analog converter having an input for receiving a digital representation of a direct sequence spread spectrum signal and having an analog output. A bandpass or lowpass filter has an input coupled to the analog output of the digital to analog converter and has a filtered output. An adder has a first input coupled to the filtered output and a second input coupled to a loop control voltage generated by a phase lock loop. The adder produces a summed output. A VCO integrated into the phase lock loop has a control input coupled to the summed output. An RF output of the VCO produces a continuous phase frequency shift keyed spread spectrum signal in response to the digital representation of the direct sequence spread spectrums signal.
