Abstract: An antenna control method for controlling an antenna device to switch between a plurality of beams. The antenna control method includes the steps of: (a) using the beams for communication one after another, and performing a scanning process on each of the beams, so as to retrieve a communication quality parameter; (b) comparing all of the communication quality parameters with each other, and selecting one of the beams as a main communication beam, wherein the selected beam has the best communication quality parameter; (c) performing a saturation determination process on the main communication beam; and (d) when the main communication beam causes saturation of a power amplifier, switching to another beam which is adjacent to the main communication beam as a substitute communication beam.

Abstract: A multi-clock matched filter for receiving signals with multipath. The signals may be modulated with a spread-spectrum spreading sequence, or other analog or digital signal. A number of signal registers store digital samples of the received signal. The gating of digital samples into each of the signal registers is controlled by a separate clock timing. The timing sequence may be derived from a common clock. A multiplexer sequentially selects each of the signal registers, and passes the respective content of each signal register to a matched filter. A number of delay-locked-loop circuits track each of the multipath signals, and generate the timing sequence for gating signal registers.

Abstract: A superior and scaleable architecture for implementing a large bit matched filter. The implementation of the bit matched filter requires less silicon and consumes less power as compared to the existing design. An effective way to turn the bit matched filter on and off for power saving is also disclosed.

Abstract: A subsystem and method for combining a spread-spectrum signal arriving from a plurality of paths. A header-matched filter detects each match of a header-chip-sequence signal with a first impulse response and, in response to the detection, outputs a header-detection signal having a header amplitude and a respective chip location. A data-matched filter detects, at the respective chip location of each header-detection signal, a respective data-chip-sequence signal and outputs a data-detection signal having a data amplitude. A combiner multiplies the header amplitude of each header-detection signal and the data amplitude of the respective data symbol to generate a plurality of weighted elements for each data symbol. The combiner then adds the plurality of weighted elements for each data symbol as a sum signal of the respective data symbol.

Abstract: A spread-spectrum receiver for time sharing a correlator for simultaneously receiving a plurality of parallel spread-spectrum signals. A combined multiplicity of symbols includes a multiplicity of symbols, simultaneously occurring during a symbol-time duration, from a plurality of spread-spectrum signals. A demultiplexer demultiplexes a sequence of the combined multiplicity of symbols into a plurality of symbol registers. Each of the symbol registers stores the chip-sequence signals corresponding to the combined multiplicity of symbols which were sent to the particular symbol register. A multiplexer selects a symbol register, other than the symbol register selected by the demultiplexer. The multiplicity of chip-sequence signals stored in the selected symbol register by the multiplexer are compared by a comparator with a multiplicity of replicas of the chip-sequence signals used to generate the spread-spectrum signals.

Abstract: A multipath-combining subsystem for receiving a spread-spectrum signal arriving from a plurality of paths. A header-matched filter detects each match, within each path, of a header-chip-sequence signal with a first impulse response and outputs a header-detection signal having a header amplitude and a respective chip location. A data-matched filter detects at the respective chip location of each header-detection signal, a respective data-chip-sequence signal and outputs a data-detection signal having a data amplitude. A combiner multiplies the header amplitude of each header-detection signal and the data amplitude of the respective data symbol to generate a plurality of weighted elements for each data symbol.
