摘要： A multi-stage receiver including, in one embodiment, a sequence of processing stages. At least one of the processing stages includes a first processing block, a delay block, and a second processing block. The first processing block is adapted to receive an input signal and generate from the input signal one or more processing parameters. The delay block is adapted to generate a delayed signal. The second processing block is adapted to apply the one or more processing parameters to the delayed signal to generate an output signal. The delay block compensates for one or more processing delays associated with the generation of the one or more processing parameters by the first processing block.

摘要： A communications circuit includes a filter module with a sampling window, a control module, and an input buffer. The control module has a ray parameter interface to obtain information regarding significant ray changes that make it desirable to re-position the sampling window. The control module determines re-positioning parameters, responsive to this information, which reflect the re-positioning of the sampling window. The input buffer obtains samples of a received signal and outputs received signal data to the filter module. The filter module obtains the re-positioning parameters from the control module, and the filter module and control module temporally re-position the sampling window in duration and/or location in accordance with the re-positioning parameters, and output a filtered chip.

摘要： In one embodiment, an HSDPA co-processor for 3GPP Release 6 Category 8 (7.2 Mb/s) HSDPA that provides all chip-rate, symbol-rate, physical-channel, and transport-channel processing for HSDPA in 90 nm CMOS. The co-processor design is scalable to all HSDPA data rates up to 14 Mb/s. The coprocessor implements an Advanced Receiver based on an NLMS equalizer, supports RX diversity and TX diversity, and provides up to 6.4 dB better performance than a typical single-antenna rake receiver. Thus, 3GPP R6 HSDPA functionality can be added to a legacy R99 modem using an HSDPA co-processor consistent with embodiments of the present invention, at a reasonable incremental cost and power.

摘要： The present application discloses hearing prostheses with two modes of operation and methods for operating the prostheses. In the first mode of operation, a hearing prosthesis receives a microphone input and produces an output based on the microphone input. In the second mode of operation, the hearing prosthesis may detect an accessory input signal and switch to an accessory input mode. The second mode of operation may produce an output that is based at least in part on the accessory input signal. Some embodiments may include detecting an accessory input signal with a detector. In response to detecting an accessory input signal, the hearing prosthesis may switch to an accessory operation mode. When the accessory input signal is not detected, the hearing prosthesis may operate in microphone operation mode.

摘要： The present application discloses systems and methods for displaying and operating a user interface having one or more channel group controllers corresponding to one or more groups of hearing prosthesis channels. The hearing prosthesis may be configured to generate a plurality of signals via a plurality of channels based on a channel profile. The channel profile may define at least one intensity level for each channel. In operation, the user interface may be configured to instruct the hearing prosthesis to change the channel profile of the plurality of channels in response to receiving an input via one of the channel group controllers. The user interface may be used to fit a hearing prosthesis to a recipient. In one embodiment, an initial channel profile may be automatically determined, and the prosthesis channel profile may be adjusted by changing a representative intensity level corresponding to the channel profile.
