Patent number: 6748007Abstract: A method of processing a pulse response with an adaptive threshold and corresponding receiver. According to the method, an adaptive threshold is calculated that is a function of a maximum reached by the pulse response, noise, and a coefficient adjustable between 0 and 1. The processing only comes into operation for signals that exceed this threshold. Such a method may find application notably to digital radio-communications with spread spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2000Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Didier Lattard, Jean-René Lequepeys, Didier Varreau, Mathieu Bouvier des Noes

Direct sequence spread spectrum differential receiver with mixed interference signal formation means
Patent number: 6349109Abstract: In order to obtain the signals necessary for the formation of an interference signal corresponding to the multiple access noise, use is made both of the non-coherent part of the receiver, namely the differential demodulation device, and the coherent part thereof, namely the two matched filters performing the correlations. This gives a reliable, precise, clock symbol signal (Hs) and also the reconstituted data (D(I), D(Q)) and the amplitudes of the signals in the two channels (A(I), A(Q)). Formation then takes place of the correction signal by respreading the data (D(I), D(Q)) and the weighting the respread data by the amplitudes (A(I), A(Q)).Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1998Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Didier Lattard, Jean-René Lequepeys, Didier Varreau, Norbert Daniele -

Patent number: 6335947Abstract: A method for processing a direct sequence spread spectrum signal, and a receiver for performing the method. A correlation is preformed between a received signal and the direct sequence used to determine peaks of different amplitudes. The spectrum of the information corresponding to the highest amplitude peak is respread using the direct sequence. The respread signal is subtracted from the received signal to create a new signal. This process is reiterated on the new signal until all of the peaks have been exhausted.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1998Date of Patent: January 1, 2002Assignee: Commissariat a l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Didier Lattard, Christophe Boulanger, Didier Varreau, Mathieu Bouvier Des Noes
