Abstract:
A transceiver arrangement is disclosed. The transceiver arrangement comprises a receiver arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with a communication network and a transmitter arranged for frequency-division duplex communication with the communication network. The transceiver arrangement also comprises a transmission port anda phase shifter arrangement which comprises a first 180° phase shifter and a second 180° phase shifter. The transceiver arrangement further comprises a filtering arrangement. The filtering arrangement comprises filters of a first type and filters of a second type. The filtering arrangement and the phase shifter arrangement are arranged to connect the receiver, transmitter and transmission port forming a first signal path between the transmission port and the transmitter by a first one of the filters of the first type and the first phase shifter in series, a second signal path between the transmission port and the transmitter by a second one of the filters of the first type and a first one of the filters of the second type in series, a third signal path between the transmission port and the receiver by a second one of the filters of the second type and the second phase shifter in series, and a fourth signal path between the transmission port and the receiver by a third one of the filters of the second type and a third one of the filters of the first type in series. The filters of the first type are arranged to pass signals at transmitter frequency and attenuate signals at receiver frequency, and the filters of the second type are arranged to attenuate signals at transmitter frequency and pass signals at receiver frequency. A communication device capable of frequency division duplex communication comprising such a transceiver arrangement is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is disclosed of an SMSK/2 device that provides an additional phase state, and having at least three phase changes possible per bit period, as compared with standard SMSK/2 devices. The additional phase state increases the bit time needed for the signals to remerge which increases the euclidean distance defined by the remergence paths. The increase in euclidean distance provides an improved power efficiency and bit error rate (BER).
Abstract:
A system and method improves ECCM and data payload for a multi-h continuous phase modulated waveform with the addition of frequency hopping capabilities. The system and method exploit the short constraint length and rotational invariance of the multi-h CPM waveform to enable frequency hopping using current system capabilities. The transmitted data is structured such that the initial phase state of each hopping frame is in the zero state and the final phase state of each hopping frame is cycled to zero by the addition of flushing symbols and transition symbols. The transition symbols allow the oscillator to change frequency without disrupting the phase progression. The system and method uses synchronous demodulation of the transmitted data at a plurality of phase offsets and determines the best phase offset based on the total sum of the branch metrics for each symbol and phase offset. The system and method alternatively demodulated with a phase offset that is tracked and adjusted over each hop by accumulation of the frequency error.
Abstract:
To reflect advantages of a constant phase modulation waveform, the invention provides a pulse amplitude modulated PAM waveform that is a superposition of Q0≦2L-1 PAM component pulses in each symbol interval such that a significant portion of signal energy over each symbol interval is within the Q0 PAM component pulses. The present invention distributes most signal energy in one pulse and progressively lower energies in the remaining Q0−1 pulses of a symbol interval. The Laurent Decomposition is a special case of the present invention, but the present invention exhibits the energy distribution of the Laurent Decomposition in non-binary CPM waveforms and in multi-h (binary and non-binary) CPM waveforms, where h is a modulating index. All energy is distributed among only Q=2L-1 pulses in each symbol interval, though only Q0

Abstract:
A differential radio frequency signal transmitter is provided. The differential radio frequency signal transmitter includes an oscillator, a modulator and an amplifier module. The oscillator generates a pair of differential oscillation signals. The modulator generates a pair of differential modulated signals according to an input signal and the pair of differential oscillation signals. The input signal is a digital signal. When the input signal is at a first state, the modulator outputs the pair of differential oscillation signals as the pair of differential modulated signals, and when the input signal is at a second state, the modulator outputs a constant voltage signal as the pair of differential modulated signals. The amplifier module receives and amplifies the pair of differential modulated signals and generates a pair of differential radio frequency signals, accordingly.

The receiving device (40) detects the modulation index used at the transmitting device (20) to modulate the data burst. The receiving device (40) then determines the control information based on the detected modulation index.
