    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: The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) and a method in a receiver in a multi-mode mobile radio (m), wherein the intention is to design the receiver so that it uses the same hardware to process several different channel bandwidths corresponding to the different networks used by the radio (m). This is done by changing a sampling frequency (fs) which controls a digital filter unit (25) situated in the digital part of the receiver. The changing of the sampling frequency (fs) results in that the bandwidth of the digital filter unit (25) is scaled accordingly, wherein the desired channel bandwidth at baseband of the radio network (GSM1900, AMPS) to be used by the radio (m) is selected in the digital filter unit (25). As a complement, the digital filter unit (25) can be implemented with a programmable function, where a change of parameters and/or filter structure inside the digital filter unit (25) can be used to adjust the filter bandwidth.

    摘要: A frequency synthesizer has a phase locked loop, a .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator, and a filter. The phase locked loop includes a frequency divider that controls the frequency of the phase locked loop output signal. The output of the .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator is fed through the filter and the output of the filter is used to control a division factor in the frequency divider. Compensation may be performed at the input to the .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator in order to compensate for the filtering performed between the .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator and the frequency divider. The filter may be used to reduce quantization noise in an input to the frequency divider, and thereby reduces phase noise in an output of the phase locked loop.

    摘要: A .DELTA..SIGMA. controlled phase locked loop modulation is used with limited oversampling factors while fulfilling the spectrum and/or phase noise requirements on the modulation in the phase locked loop. By filtering the quantization noise sufficiently then compensating for the distortion of the modulation at the input of the .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator, the required oversampling factor of the .DELTA..SIGMA. controlled phase locked loop modulators can be reduced without loss of performance. The distortion is mitigated by performing a compensation at the input to the .DELTA..SIGMA. modulator. The noise reduction obtained by lowering the bandwidth of the phase locked loop can then be traded to reduce the oversampling factor.
