    摘要: Transmitter architectures for a communications system having improved performance over conventional transmitter architectures. The improvements include a combination of the following: faster response time for the control signals, improved linearity, reduced interference, reduced power consumption, lower circuit complexity, and lower costs. For a cellular application, these improvements can lead to increased system capacity, smaller telephone size, increased talk and standby times, and greater acceptance of the product. Circuitry is provided to speed up the response time of a control signal. The control loop for various elements in the transmit signal path are integrated. A gain control mechanism allows for accurate adjustment of the output transmit power level. Control mechanisms are provided to power down the power amplifier, or the entire transmit signal path, when not needed. The gains of the various elements in the transmit signal path are controlled to reduce transients in the output transmit power, and to also ensure that transients are downward.

    摘要: An interface circuit for converting a digital signal to an analog signal. The interface circuit includes a time response adjustment circuit, a modulator, and a filter. The time response adjustment circuit receives the digital signal and generates an adjusted signal. The modulator couples to the time response adjustment circuit, receives the adjusted signal, and generates a modulator signal. The filter couples to the modulator, receives the modulator signal, and generates the analog signal. The analog signal has a time response that is modified by the time response adjustment circuit. In an embodiment, the time response adjustment circuit includes a gain element, a delay element, and a summer. The gain element receives and scales the digital signal by a scaling factor. The delay element receives and delays the digital signal by a time delay. The summer couples to the gain element and the delay element, sums the scaled signal from the gain element and the delayed signal from the delay element to generate the adjusted signal.

    摘要: A method according to an embodiment obtains a list of peaks for each of a number of frequency hypotheses. Each peak has an energy result and corresponds to a code phase hypothesis. Embodiments include methods and apparatus that may be used in identifying a location of a signal (such as a GPS signal) in a two-dimensional search space. Location information may be further applied to operations such as signal acquisition, signal tracking, position location of a receiver, and timing operations such as the synchronization of one or more other processes.

    摘要: A receiver according to one embodiment includes a frequency control unit configured to receive a stream of samples including a plurality of received instances of a transmitted signal. The frequency control unit is configured to output a first correction signal (e.g. indicating a rotation) that is based on more than one of the received instances and a second correction signal (e.g. to control an oscillator) that is also based on more than one of the received instances. In some embodiments, a controlled oscillator is used to receive and/or transmit another signal, such as a signal received from a GPS space vehicle. In other embodiments, the received instances are from a GPS signal. In further embodiments, a fixed-frequency oscillator is used, and the second correction signal is used to receive and/or transmit another signal, such as a GPS signal.

    摘要: A forward link repeater delay watermarking (FLRDWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) time delay modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the time delay watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or A-GPS systems. A forward link time delay watermarking system can be implemented to achieve low impact on FL and AFLT performance, favorable detection and identification probabilities, and short time-to-detect/identify.

    摘要: A forward link repeater frequency watermarking (FLRFWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) fast frequency modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the fast frequency watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or A-GPS systems. A forward link fast frequency watermarking system described herein achieves minimal impact on FL, AFLT, and GPS performance, good detection, identification and false alarm probabilities, short time-to-detect/identify, and good detection/identification sensitivity.
