  • Patent number: 11050590
    Abstract: A data receiver configured to receive a signal having at least two partial data packets, the data receiver being configured to estimate a state of a transmission channel, to obtain first channel state information, to demodulate a first set of received symbols from different data packets, to obtain a first set of received encoded bits, wherein the data receiver is configured to decode the first set of received encoded bits to determine, a first set of estimated encoded bits which corresponds more likely to a first set of transmitted encoded bits than the received encoded bits, and to map the first set of estimated bits to estimated transmission symbols using a mapping rule matching a transmitter-side mapping rule to obtain a first set of estimated transmission symbols, and to determine second channel state information using the first set of estimated transmission symbols.

  • Patent number: 7305046
    Abstract: An I/Q modulator used for processing an I/Q signal to obtain a predistorted output signal. The I/Q signal has an I component and a Q component, and comprises a predistorter for predistorting, with a predistortion signal, a carrier signal, which comprises a first subcomponent and a second subcomponent that is substantially orthogonal to the first subcomponent, to obtain first and second predistorted subcomponents of the carrier signal. The predistortion signal depends on the I and Q components. A first multiplier multiples the I component by the first predistorted subcomponent to obtain a multiplied I component. A second multiplier multiples the Q component by the second predistorted subcomponent to obtain a multiplied Q component. An adder adds the multiplied I component and the negative multiplied Q component to obtain the predistorted output signal. Thus, a simplification of the I/Q modulator and a reduction in the number of necessary multipliers is achieved.

  • Patent number: 7158582
    Abstract: An I/Q modulator processes a time-discrete I/Q signal comprising an I component and a Q component. The I/Q signal is based on a sampling frequency which is equal to four times a carrier frequency of a carrier signal onto which the I/Q signal is modulated. A predistorter of the modulator predistort the I and components with a predistortion signal, which depends on the I and Q components, so as to form a predistorted I component and, in temporal alternation therewith, a predistorted Q components. An adjuster of the modulator adjusts the signs of the predistorted I and Q components so that two temporally successive predistorted components have a first sign and two additional successive predistorted components, which follow the first-mentioned components in time, have a second sign which is the inverse of the first sign, so as to produce therefrom an output signal at an output of the modulator.
