Abstract: A method and system provides a way to achieve very high data rate expanded bandwidth (wide band) WLAN operations reusing existing single channel radio designs. The system provides a dual-channel form of operation for greater flexibility and performance across multiple platforms. Further, the system provides adaptive anti-aliasing techniques for eliminating aliasing due to adjacent channel waveform effects. These techniques mesh with existing systems cleanly.

Abstract: An adaptive frequency equalization system providing an equalizer that has programmable taps that adjusts magnitude and phase of symbol information of a received signal and that provides equalized symbol information. The system includes a hard decision circuit that selects ideal symbol values using the equalized symbol information. A frequency response circuit determines frequency response update values using the ideal symbol values and the received signal. An adjust circuit updates stored frequency response information using the frequency response update values, and also updates the programmable taps of the equalizer using the stored frequency response information.

Abstract: A modulator device is disclosed for a spread spectrum communication system which generates a modulated signal from incoming data. The device includes a QPSK portion for separating the incoming data into two data channels and for further spreading the two channels over a wide bandwidth according to a predetermined spreading code. A phase mapping element coupled to the QPSK portion for processing both channels in order to minimize spectral regrowth of the modulated signal by preventing the RF envelope deviation from going close to zero. Pulse shaping elements coupled to the phase mapping element for further processing each channel in order to improve the modulator spectral efficiency and minimize adjacent channel interference. A quad-mixer coupled to the pulse shaping elements for combining both channels into a recombined signal and for further modulating the recombined signal according to a predetermined carrier frequency.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a technique for estimating the characteristics of a propagation channel by processing a cyclostationary signal which has passed through it. The technique extends to the use of this estimate to reduce the impact of the channel distortion on the recovered signal. Unique features of this technique include its ability to function even when strong interference is present with the cyclostationary signal of interest.
