Abstract: A subscriber unit for a wireless digital telephone system is disclosed. An equalizer for receiving I and Q samples is disclosed which is in the form. The I and Q samples are complex sample pairs provided at a frequency. The equalizer receives a training signal in the form of complex I and Q sample pairs. A training signal is affected by undesirable characteristics that might be present in the I and Q samples. A comparator compares the actual input training signal with the desired output to obtain a set of weighting coefficients for the equalizer to produce the desired output. A frequency correction circuit provides a corrected frequency signal for the frequency of the sample pairs from the weighting coefficients.

Abstract: In a wireless digital telephone system, a circuit for determining in a subscriber unit whether a particular RF channel is of the type designated by the base station to be either a control channel or a voice channel and for determining whether the channel is in the transmit or receive mode; the circuit utilizing the duration of an AM hole to determine the type of the channel and utilizing a unique word for determining the mode.

Abstract: A digital wireless subscriber telephone unit for wireless communication with a base station. An IF is used within the subscriber unit and base station which is combined with a carrier signal generated by a synthesizer for RF transmission between stations. In intervals between actuation of the system, a training mode is used wherein a known training signal is compared with a known values to produce correction coefficients to compensate for undesirable variations in timing and/or frequency, these constants being stored for use in correcting actual received signals. During demodulation, the modulated digital signals are fed to the modem processor in the form of time multiplexed I and Q samples and are demultiplexed. The demultiplexed I and Q samples are fed to an equalizer and frequency correction circuit for minimization of errors for production of a frequency correction signal based upon the correction coefficients which is used to correct any errors in the timing and frequency of the system.

Abstract: A digital wireless subscriber telephone unit for wireless connection with a base station. The subscriber unit has a baseband processor which is coupled to a storage for the baseband functions. The baseband processor is direct access coupled to a modem processor whereby the two processors may communicate with each other. The modem processor generally acts as the master in the system, although lock-out device may be used in certain circumstances. The signal from the modem processor is converted to an analog signal, which is subjected to deglitching, and the deglitched signal is then upconverted and filted to form an IF signal which is thereafter amplified. The amplified IF signal is combined with a signal generated by a synthesizer to provide an RF signal. On the basis of certain signals received from the base station, the baseband processor produces initiating signals which determine whether the subscriber unit will be in the transmit mode or the receive mode.

Abstract: An interpolator varies the sampling rate of a signal. The signal may comprise pairs of in-phase and quadrature components at a first rate which are serially input through a pair of memories connected in series. The serially connected memories operate at a second higher rate which is a multiple of the first rate. An output taps the signals being circulated by the serially connected memories which results in the output of a signal having the in-phase and quadrature components at the higher second rate.

Abstract: In a digital wireless subscriber telephone unit for wireless connection with a base station which includes a modem processor whose signal is converted to an analog signal which is then upconverted and filtered to form an IF signal, a deglitching circuit for removing glitch spikes occurring during the transition periods from digital signals to analog signals comprising a timing system, a detector for detecting the transistion periods in order to control the timing system, and a mixer coupled to the output of a D/A converter to mix a blanking signal from the timing system with the analog signal received from the D/A converter during the transistion periods, whereby the output of the mixer is returned to an intermediate reference level.
