  • Patent number: 7386005
    Abstract: A communication device for W-CDMA signal transmission and reception has a W-CDMA transmitter having at least one of a first RAM and first registers, wherein the transmitter is configured to operate in accordance with first parameters. Further, the communication device has a W-CDMA receiver having at least one of a second RAM and second registers, wherein the receiver is configured to operate in accordance with second parameters, and signal acquisition component. A processor is in data communication with the W-CDMA transmitter, the W-CDMA receiver and the signal acquisition component, and configured to provide for software configuration of the first and second parameters.

  • Patent number: 7327779
    Abstract: A communication device for W-CDMA signal transmission and reception includes a W-CDMA transmitter having at least one of a RAM and registers, a W-CDMA receiver having at least one of a RAM and registers, and a signal acquisition circuit. The communication device is software reconfigurable and further includes a digital circuit for phase unbalance precompensation in the W-CDMA transmitter. The digital circuit includes an input register holding a compensation angle and a section performing arithmetic calculations to acquire a change of an I, Q angle by the compensation angle. A method of operating a W-CDMA communication device includes the acts of configuring the device for a specific use, and performing at least one of transmitting, receiving and acquiring waveform signals. The configuring is preferably done by a processor.

  • Patent number: 7269126
    Abstract: A method for constructing orthogonal codes of length N for use in a network utilizing quasi-synchronous code division multiple access combined with time division duplexing. The method determines the balanced vectors of length N, being all possible cross-correlation vectors resulting from zero cross-correlation of codes of length N. An arbitrary code of length N is utilized, and a bitwise XOR-ing is performed with all the balanced vectors to produce a set of codes with which the arbitrary code is orthogonal. A bitwise XOR-ing of the original balanced vectors is performed and the code is added to a set of orthogonal codes if the result of the bitwise XOR-ing of the original balanced vectors is balanced. The method is repeated until the set of orthogonal codes is complete.

  • Patent number: 6324159
    Abstract: A method of generating a waveform with a plurality of orthogonal PN codes for use in a communications network utilizing quasi-synchronous code division multiple access. The orthogonal PN codes modulate multiple data streams together with a non-orthogonal PN code having desirable auto-correlation properties. The result is a complex signal with time-aligned PN codes.
