    摘要: A system for detecting and compensating for a saturation condition of a power amplifier where an error signal is produced by differencing a signal representative of or derived from a control signal for controlling the shape of the output of the power amplifier and a signal representative of or derived from the output of the power amplifier. An integrator integrates the error signal to produce a cumulative error signal. A detection circuit detects a saturation condition when the value of the cumulative error equals or exceeds a predetermined value determined during device calibration. Upon the detection of a saturation condition, a compensation circuit derives a compensation value by multiplying the value of the error signal at the time saturation is detected by a predetermined constant, and subtracts this value from the control signal. The input to the power amplifier is derived from the adjusted control signal.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an improved system and method for increasing the timing accuracy of a time domain multiple access (TDMA) mobile communication system using a resource efficient parabolic interpolator. With the present invention, a mobile unit receives burst transmissions from a base station and a timing information is recovered therefrom. Since the timing information establishes the time of arrival of the burst, correlation initially identifies a coarse approximation of the location of the control signal within a defined portion of the burst signal and, together with two adjacent samples. Using a curve fitting technique, a precise position of the peak, relative to the coarse position, is determined. The equation can be solved ahead of time and values from the three samples substituted into a single expression for evaluation. Once the coefficients of the equation are known, the time offset of a refined peak relative to the coarse peak is readily calculated. The refined peak is then used in synchronizing transmission between a mobile unit and the base station.

    摘要: The present invention includes a time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) communication system having a base station and at least one mobile station, each transmitting and receiving an analog radio-frequency signal carrying digitally coded speech. The speech is encoded using a vocoder which samples a voice signal at variable encoding rates. During periods when the radio-frequency channel is experiencing high levels of channel interference, the encoded voice channel having a lower encoding rate is chosen. This low-rate encoded voice is combined with the high degree of channel coding necessary to ensure reliable transmission. When the radio-frequency channel is experiencing low levels of channel interference, less channel coding is necessary and the vocoder having a higher encoding rate is used. The high-rate encoded voice is combined with the lower degree of channel coding necessary to ensure reliable transmission. The appropriate levels of channel coding necessary for reliable transmission are determined by various channel metrics, such as frame erase rate and bit error rate. The determination of the appropriate vocoder rate and level of channel coding for both the uplink and downlink may be determined centrally at the base station, with the vocoder rate and level of channel coding for the uplink being relayed to the mobile station. Alternatively, the appropriate vocoder rate and level of channel coding for the downlink may be determined by the mobile station, and the appropriate vocoder rate and level of channel coding for the uplink may be determined by the base station.

    摘要: A system provides closed-loop gain control in a WCDMA mode and open loop control in an EDGE/GSM mode. Gain control is distributed across analog devices and a digital scaler in a wireless receiver. In the WCDMA mode, a loop filter generates an error signal that is forwarded to analog and digital control paths. The analog control path includes a first adder, a programmable hysteresis element, and a lookup table. The analog control signal is responsive to thresholds, which when used in conjunction with a previous gain value determine a new gain value. The digital control path includes a second adder, a programmable delay element, and a converter. A control word is responsive to a difference of the error signal, a calibration value, and the analog control signal. Blocker detection is provided in the WCDMA mode of operation. A controller sets system parameters using a state machine.

    摘要: A transmit signal second-order inter-modulation (IM2) canceller for a portable handset using a full duplex mode of operation (e.g., WCDMA) is used to controllably reduce IM2 introduced by a transmit signal that appears in a received signal in a receive channel of the portable handset. The transmit signal IM2 canceller includes a delay estimator and a digital signal adjuster. The delay estimator receives a first input from a receive channel and a second input from a transmit channel. The delay estimator generates an estimate of the IM2 that the transmit channel introduces in the receive channel. The digital signal adjuster removes the estimate of the IM2 before forwarding a modified receive channel signal to a baseband subsystem of the portable handset.
