    摘要: A direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) DSP implementation technique utilizing a unique combination of multiple filters, transforms, despreading algorithm and spectral compression, all in a single coefficient set, providing a highly efficient system requiring relatively nominal computational hardware and software requirements. Reallocatable computational resources allow for frequency uncertainty in the transmitter, without the typical excessive noise bandwidth penalties. The present system further contemplates a unique energy detection algorithm for discerning spread spectrum while in the search mode, utilizing several discrete sampling data sets to increase signal strength, reducing noise, while changing the relative phase of the received chipping code with respect to the received signal. The spectral compression of the spreading sequence is achieved by representing the PRC as an array of two, complimenting fractional coefficients. The PRC code is filtered to achieve the required spectral compression characteristics, resulting in minimal despreading loss, while providing interference rejection of CW signals greater than 1.5 MHz from the center IF frequency.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, computer-based product and system employs a digital receiver (or transceiver) to receive, digitize and process a direct sequence spread spectrum signal using efficient, low-cost digital signal processing components. A radio front end portion of the receiver receives and digitizes the signal, and a digital signal processing portion downconverts and despreads the signal by applying a pseudorandom noise (PN) code, used at a transmitter to spread a data signal contained in the direct sequence spread spectrum signal, to the received signal. In order to initially align, and maintain alignment of, the PN code with the direct sequence spread spectrum signal, a timing and state control mechanism is included that provides time reference correction information to the signal processing components of the receiver. This time reference correction information allows the receiver to be compatible with transmitters using inaccurate frequency references which impart a significant frequency ambiguity in the received signal. Additional features include computer-based synchronization methods and mechanisms suitable for use for low performance digital signal processors and employ power management mechanisms that enable long-term operation using battery power. The power management mechanisms enable the receiver to operate in a network setting, over the course of multiple years off battery power, with similar receivers, transmitters and transceiver that communicate with one another using direct sequence spread spectrum signals.

The method includes modulating the intentionally generated frequency in a predetermined manner so that a receiver can identify the intentionally generated frequency and includes the use of plural frequency harmonics for use in a curve fitting technique to correct frequency error in the voltage controlled oscillator.

    摘要: A system and method for receiving direct sequence spread spectrum transmissions with both chip code and frequency uncertainty including a parallel frequency acquisition technique for increasing receiver sensitivity and increasing process gain while reducing a preamble duration required for spread spectrum acquisition. The system and method include techniques for reducing effects of jamming and impulse noise on receiver performance via enhanced antenna diversity by constructively combining received signals. Further, techniques are provided which compensate for chip code alignment drift, providing an associated transmitter maintains carrier and chip code coherence, by comparing received signal energies at varying chip code alignments. These techniques enable the use of lower cost frequency setting crystals in both the receiver and transmitter as well as provide for system operation over a wider temperature range.
